PETALING JAYA: Former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas has admitted that he only voted for the very first time in a general election at the age of 56 in 2008, despite his deep passion for politics.
In his recently released memoir My Story: Justice in the Wilderness, Thomas said that he was smitten with the US and British politics, influenced by his late father.
He said he never thought of the need to cast his vote in a general election, as Barisan (Nasional) was voted in, general election after general election .
He also claimed that he was instrumental in advising opposition MPs to take a stand against the then Election Commission (EC) in 2013 after the general election over the indelible ink scandal. ....
