I Voted This Morning And Became Part Of History Today

THANK YOU Marcus Foo for dropping by in my house to help me get ready and get out to vote this morning. 

I had great fun as we walked/wheeled over to the local school to vote. I was glad that you were allowed in with me right up to the ballot box to make my votes. This was not allowed before. 

I was also thrilled that there was no queue at all for me in my wheelchair although there was already more

than 100 persons waiting when we got there. We were allowed to sail right through - the process was over in about 5 minutes! 

I was also glad to see some empty wheelchairs provided for voters with disabilities and the elderly. They were also placed visibly for everyone to see. 

(But sad to note that in another polling station in Bangsar, people in wheelchairs were carried up to the first floor to make their votes. This is unacceptable!)

Thanks also Marcus for taking me for a walk in the park afterwards. It was a great feeling to be part of our historical voting event today. Now enjoying quality time with my dogs and waiting for the results to come in later this evening. According to an Aljazeera correspondent, the first real results should come in around 8.30pm - 9pm. 

Happy voting all!
