A polling agent,66-year-old Nadarajah from Nilai Bukit Kuda, had already finished lunch.
The volunteer had spent the morning at SJK(C) Nilai, doing what polling agents do — watching, waiting, making sure the process was clean.
He was there as a Pakatan Harapan (PH) representative.
He was there by choice.
Then he collapsed; colleagues at the polling centre noticed immediately.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered on the spot, and an ambulance was called; everything that could be done was done.
The Vote Went On
It had to.
In the immediate aftermath, staff and polling agents at the centre were shaken.
But the Election Commission’s (SPR) procedures are clear, and in this case they held — voting continued without disruption, as scheduled.
That detail is both necessary and quietly difficult to sit with. The machine keeps moving. A man had just died inside it.
Across Negeri Sembilan, 859,760 voters were casting their ballots in the state’s 16th election.
By 4 PM, 65.38% had voted.
Results are expected before midnight, but Nadarajah will not see them.
Based on original reporting by Guang Ming and China Press.
