Check your voter registration status!

Do not take for granted that your name will forever stay in the electoral roll (and I am not talking about your name being in the roll 20 years after you're dead)! Check with www.spr.gov.my regularly. If you find your name struck off the list, i.e. the system cannot find your name in the database, the only thing left for you to do is to re-register.

I am not joking. I personally know of 2 persons whose names have been inexplicably struck off the list. They voted in 2004, and yet they realized recently their names have disappeared from the roll.

The EC is a most unfair and corrupt body unable to correct itself. We just have to play around the rules and be vigilant.
