Being in a democratic nation, voting is a citizen’s duty. 988 urges its listeners to perform their responsibility in deciding the nation’s future. This week, Morning Up Cases (weekdays, 8am-9am) will feature a showcase named Rock & Roll Home To Vote in line with this cause.
988 has also gathered 20 artistes to do shout-outs on air to encourage voters to exercise their right to vote. To further promote the “Undi” campaign, 988 will be distributing car stickers to the public via 988 Cruisers. These limited edition car stickers bear the message “Tou Nin Shuo Hao. Ai Ma Lai Xi Ya” (Vote Wisely. Love Malaysia).
