Malaysia’s ‘mobile electorate’ could swing Negeri Sembilan state poll
The News
The state of Negeri Sembilan in Malaysia is holding its election on Saturday. A key issue is the growing number of young workers who have left the state for better job opportunities elsewhere, particularly in Singapore and Johor. This 'mobile electorate' may play a significant role in the election outcome, as exemplified by project engineer Ammar Idlan Hassan, who now lives in Gelang Patah but originally from Seremban.

Plain English
Loaded language removedMalaysia’s Negeri Sembilan state heads to the polls on Saturday, but a growing portion of its young workers – and their votes – are based elsewhere. Leaving home was never Ammar Idlan Hassan’s long-term plan, but better pay and stronger career prospects eventually drew the 27-year-old project engineer away from Seremban, the state capital.
