The singing of 'Marilah Mengundi' on the video clip would be a welcome bit of fun," Zubedy said in its promo banner.With the total subsidy allocated for this offer being RM1,000, the offer is only open to the first 200 cars that comply with the conditions as well as provide an image of the toll receipts as proof.

However, Zubedy says if more sponsors come on board, then the offer will be extended beyond the first 200 cars.Following the announcement that the 14th general election (GE14) will fall on May 9, a Wednesday, Malaysians have rallied on social media with creative plans to encourage a high voter turnout.The "Pulang Mengundi" movement, which began with a Twitter hashtag, helps arrange transport for those who are unable to go home on polling day due to logistic or financial reasons.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
