Eighty-eight-year-old Malaysian Chinese, Vong Fook Hoi, widely known as Uncle Wong, woke up at 3:00 AM and cycled more than two kilometres to cast his ballot at Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Duyong today (14 Nov), during the 16th Melaka State Election.
Born around 1938, Vong has lived in Seri Duyong since age six and recalls an era when rice paddy farming was the area’s main livelihood.
Now retired, he rides his red bicycle around his neighbourhood, fitted with front and rear baskets.
His adult children live and work in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and Vong stated that he reminded them to return home early to cast their ballots.
