More than churches opening doors



There has been a slew of new voters registration exercises happening of late. I hear so many things on the news and read many in the alternative media. I have heard Tony Pua ranting on how the Assistant Registrars have been given a tougher time in registering voters (with form restrictions).

I have also heard that there has been many issues that the EC are facing themselves as the political parties are ramping up their voters registration exercises (including UMNO youth wanting to register 4 million youth).

But this piece of news is by far the most encouraging piece of news. It is a great display of cooperation between the public office (SPR, State Govt), the civil society (church, GEL/EPIC) and private community (businesses sponsored food, drinks & thank you gifts).

I wish and pray more of such will happen in the future. And not just with churches but also with temples & mosques.
