Sarawak DAP chairman and Sarawak State Legislative Assemblyman for Bukit Assek, Yang Berhormat Wong Ho Leng, blogged on 19th February, 2008 that there are 326 voters over 100 years old in Sibu.
Hmmm..., maybe I should consider retiring in Sibu:
1.) Lower cost of living2.) Long life
According to YB Wong, the oldest registered voter in Sibu on the electoral roll that would be used for the 12th General Election is 128 years old. Wow...., why didn't Malaysia enter his or her name into the Guinness Book of Records?? According to Wikipedia 2008, , The world's oldest man as declared by the Guinness Book of Records on 24th January, 2007, is Mr Tomoji Tanabe from Japan who was born in 1895 (113 years old) while the oldest person in the world since 13th August, 2007 is Ms Edna Parker from USA who was born on April 30, 1893 (114 years, 308 days as of 22 February, 2008). This qualifies our centenarian from Sibu to be the world's oldest person. So why didn't the relevant authorities in Malaysia apply to the Guinness Book of Records to have our 128 years old voter from Sibu declared as the world's oldest person??? After all, he or she does qualify. (If his name or her name is in the electoral roll, I presume that he or she should still be alive since the election commission has indicated that the Electoral Roll is clean). Where is the "Malaysia Boleh!" spirit??
