Here’s a subject that will divide opinion. If you’re living in Malaysia, should you vote where you live, or should you vote in your hometown?
Take a moment to look at the address on your identity card right now. Does it indicate the town or city that you were born in, or was it updated to reflect where you live your life now in Malaysia?
