Yesterday, as a Penang citizen, I received a call and a text message from the government reminding me to go out and vote on 12 August but I certainly don’t need any reminders with all the flags up around town. Plus, many F&B establishments are also doing their part to encourage people to vote by posting numerous offers (and of course bank in on the occasion).
