MELAKA: Despite being on medical leave following surgery, Sergeant Rohayu Samsudin, 41, turned up in a wheelchair to cast her early vote for the 16th Melaka election today.

Rohayu, who is still recovering and requires a wheelchair, was assisted by a colleague to ensure she could fulfil her responsibility as a voter.

She arrived at the Melaka police contingent headquarters' multipurpose hall at 10.40am in a car driven by her colleague, Corporal Ashikin Husin, 32, from her home in Taman Seri Ayer Barok, Jasin.

Rohayu, who serves in the Telecommunications and Information Systems Division under the Logistics Department at the Melaka police contingent headquarters, said she underwent surgery on Oct 21 and was granted medical leave until early December.
