MELAKA, Oct 31 — A long bicycle journey from Gemas, Negeri Sembilan, to Bukit Katil did not deter 68-year-old Sitdek Ahmad Ali from being present to witness the nomination process for the Melaka State Election today.
For Sitdek, cycling about 70 kilometres was not merely about reaching his destination, but also an opportunity to witness the democratic process up close and show his support for the prospective leaders who would be chosen by the people.
The senior citizen began his journey from his hometown in Gemas yesterday morning and arrived in Bukit Katil at about 4 am today, after cycling throughout the night.
“I came because I wanted to witness the nomination process and show my support for all the candidates contesting.
