Malaysians overseas prevented from voting

Malaysians residing overseas not allowed to vote

Malaysians living overseas cannot vote through the post unless they are military personnel, students, staff of embassies and high commissions and their spouses. Under the Election Regulations (Electoral Roll) 2002 and Election Regulations (Postal Votes) 2003, only three categories of citizens living overseas are allowed to cast postal votes.

Apparently the Malaysian government believes that most Malaysians residing overseas will vote for the Opposition if they were allowed to vote.
