ntv7 reports on low voter turnout in urban areas in KL/Selangor

Rahim Tamby Chik is on ntv7 commenting on the unusually low voter turnouts in several urban areas in KL/Selangor ranging from 49 per cent to 60 per cent in some places.

In Balik Pulau, Penang, a campaign polling agent told the Election Media Monitors that the turnout was barely 50 percent.

This is in sharp contrast to the turnouts in Terengganu (more than 85 per cent turnout) and Kelantan (more than 70 per cent). The turnout in Putrajaya was 90 per cent!

These are early indications that suggest that many voters in many BN-strongholds may have stayed at home out of apathy or out of sense that the outcome was already a foregone conclusion.
