DDHK News, Hong Kong - Indonesian citizens in Hong Kong are enthusiastic about participating in the voting to exercise their voting rights in the 2014 Legislative Election. They - mostly Indonesian Migrant Workers (BMI) - have arrived starting at 07.00 local time, even though the local election committee (KPP PLN) just started voting at 09.00.
In fact, until 11.00:XNUMX local time, the queue was still snaking at Victoria Park, a park commonly used by Indonesians to gather. Victoria Park is in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. This place is a park with a large enough area. Around the park is surrounded by high rise buildings such as Catic, Convey, AIA and Park Lane Hotel.
"Alhamdulillah, the animation is encouraging," said Chairman of KPP PLN Hong Kong, Arief Wahyudi, as quoted Between.
The Indonesian Consul General in Hong Kong, Chalif Akbar, said that the voting was held concurrently with Macau. The voting activity in Hong Kong for Indonesians was attended by around 102 thousand voters.
Of that number, about 4.800 chose via post. He admitted that this schedule was advancing because Indonesian citizens in Hong Kong used to have holidays on weekends.
Chalif also assessed that the voting generally went well even though there were those who felt that they had not received a call but in the end they were able to use an identity card.
Furthermore, Arief Wahyudi added that the voting activity in public spaces as held this time was the first time. Indonesians in Hong Kong who have not voted yet are still given the opportunity until April 9, 2014. "We will also count the voting results on that date (April 9, 2014)," he said.
To carry out the voting, the KPP PLN Hong Kong was supported by as many as 105 personnel and volunteers. (Between / Okezone). *
