KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 — Around 100 of young protesters marched towards the Parliament today to protest the Election Commission’s (EC) delay in allowing 18-year-olds to vote, and also the closure of lawmakers from sitting in the House.
As they arrived bearing banners saying “Mana undi kami?” (Malay for “where is our vote?”) and chants of “buka parlimen” (Malay for “open the Parliament”), the protesters sat down on the road heading to the building which was earlier barricaded by the police.
Amir Abdul Hadi of the Malaysia United Democracy Alliance (Muda), who led the march, had stopped the march from the historic Padang Merbok metres, from the entrance, declaring that the entourage would sit here in silence for 18 minutes in protest of the delay of the initiative called Undi18.
