May.19 — Malaysia’s opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim discusses the political turmoil in the country and what he plans to do. For the first time in Malaysia’s history, the one-day parliament session on Monday hosted only a speech by the king, leaving no time for representatives to discuss policies for addressing the pandemic or go through a planned no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Anwar also talks about the the 1MDB investment fund scandal with Haslinda Amin on “Bloomberg Markets: Asia.” (Audio and video quality as incoming)

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
