MELAKA, Nov 14 — Physical disabilities did not deter a 63-year-old pair of twin sisters with dwarfism from turning up to fulfil their civic duty as voters in the 16th Melaka State Election today.

Lau Song Kiow and Lau Song Ghi, who are each about 80 centimetres tall, arrived together at the polling centre at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Malim here as early as 10.15am and described the voting experience as a joyful one.

Both are registered voters for the Kesidang state constituency.

Song Kiow said she had exercised her right to vote several times and was happy to have another opportunity to fulfil her civic duty this time.
