Malaysian Elections soon

[beanstalk6]

A boisterous April is to be expected in Malaysia now that the elections are coming. I suppose much domestic and cross-border traveling will be done by Malaysians during the campaigning phase and the subsequent voting period.

Any guesstimate when would voting day be? 27 Apr or later? Might be a good idea to avoid going on this day I suppose.

 

[dede1217]

I shall probably not plan for non-essential travel from the first day of campaigning till a few days after the elections. Many Malaysians will be traveling.

The elections are going to be held on May 5, a Sunday, meaning the next day is likely to be a holiday. Formal campaigning will begin from 20 April.

is it safe to travel to sarawak during the election day? have a air ticket booked months ago, dont know if the shops or place of interests will be opened or not..

 

[beanstalk6]

Why do you think it is unsafe?
I doubt places of interest and shops will be closed on election day.

 

[ishoppersmarketing]

The day of election still safe but the day after no guarantee

Johor is BN stronghold. If the opposition conquer Johor, it will be a joy to see.
