One of the best ways to be introduced to the "democratic" process is to volunteer as a polling and counting agent. It’s not every thing, but it’s a start. For those who want to plunge deeper, I guess volunteering and working with MAFREL would be a natural next step. I remember fondly the MAFREL representative…

Permatang Pauh: The end game The opening photo makes me giggle. But seriously, we live in a crazy time. And it’s not a joking matter.
