MELAKA, Nov 10 — The Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for Machap Jaya state constituency, Datuk Ginie Lim Siew Lin, is leveraging on an interactive digital platform to reach out to voters for the Melaka state election and to enhance their understanding of the electoral process.

Through the website https://ginielim.com/, voters can access a wealth of information about the candidate including her biography, background, manifesto, and campaign tour schedule while also engaging through various provided communication channels.

Lim noted that the platform features an interactive game that challenges users to reach 8,015 clicks within 90 seconds, encouraging participation, alongside a simulation game designed to demonstrate the correct voting procedure.

She explained that the simulation game was specifically created to help first-time voters understand how to mark a ballot paper emphasising the importance of making a single, correct mark in the space designated for their chosen candidate to ensure the vote remains valid.

“Additionally, there is a scenario-based game that allows voters to select proposed solutions for specific issues, such as the challenges faced by wheelchair users when leaving their homes.”

“The platform also showcases my manifesto, which is anchored in four key pillars: Accessible Service, Safe Community, Prosperous Living, and a Thriving Economy,” she told Bernama here recently.

Lim added that voters can also obtain information regarding campaign tour activities and contact her team via a WhatsApp link integrated into the website.

According to her, the platform is accessible through a web browser without the need for users to download any applications, making it convenient for the public to access the provided information.

“This initiative was developed with careful consideration for concerns regarding the potential misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. In the context of an election, I would be quite saddened if any party were to use AI to disparage their opponents; therefore, my team and I have devised creative and innovative ways to engage with voters.

“AI can be utilised for various purposes and functions. Consequently, we have explored more interactive methods to disseminate information and assist voters in making informed choices based on the data they receive,” she said.

The Machap Jaya state constituency will see a three-way contest between Lim, incumbent Datuk Ngwe Hee Sem of Barisan Nasional, and Prasanth Kumar Brakasam of Parti Bersama Malaysia.

The Election Commission has scheduled early voting for the 16th Melaka state election for today, with the main polling day set for November 14.
