JOM Balik Undi – Join a Carpool
Malaysians in Singapore, numbering between 300,000 and 500,000 according to various sources, have no choice but to brace themselves for the long journey home in order to vote in the GE13. Hence this initiative by BERSIH Singapore, to help ease the pain of the travel for the polling day.
JOM Balik Undi
It is totally outrageous when it became clear in Sep 2012 that the Election Commission has no intention whatsoever to implement overseas voting for Malaysians before the 13th General Elections, in contempt of the recommendations of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Electoral Reform (PSC). The EC Chairman and his Deputy have deliberately made empty promises to overseas Malaysians when in reality it has been thirteen months of inaction and deceit.
Malaysians in Singapore, numbering between 300,000 and 500,000 according to various sources, have no choice but to brace themselves for the long journey home in order to vote in the GE13. Hence this initiative by BERSIH Singapore, to help ease the pain of the travel for the polling day. Together we can make a better Malaysia!
WHAT IT IS
Basically we match Malaysians, who intend to drive home to vote and have empty seats, (the DRIVERS) with Malaysians who would benefit from the empty seats (the PASSENGERS).
For the DRIVERS, you can help making it possible for a few fellow Malaysians go back to vote while optionally have the passengers help you defray some of the transport costs.
For the PASSENGERS, you can go back to vote at zero or reduced transport cost with more flexible timing.
This service does only basic ‘match-making’, leaving the nitty-gritty (eg. exact pick-up timing and location) to the DRIVERS and the PASSENGERS to sort out between themselves. All we ask from you is to be nice with each other and honour the details you have submitted here.
