Fans Of Bruno Mars Are Freaking Out Because His Concert Clashes With GE14 Polling Day
Catch a grenade and cast your vote!
It's been a long time coming, but the Election Commission (EC) has finally unveiled the polling date for the 14th General Elections (GE14). Come 9 May 2018, Malaysia will decide on the fate of their country.
However, the selected polling date came as a surprise to many. For one, it's mid-week on a Wednesday. Which, y'know, is a workday.
Secondly, and this is probably the most frustrating for those who managed to get tickets... 9 May is also the day of Bruno Mars' sold-out concert in Kuala Lumpur
What are the odds, right?!
... It's a logistical nightmare for out-of-state voters, especially for those who have already made travel plans for the concert. Some urged the organisers to reschedule the concert:
For others, the choice is clear when it comes down to (i) determining the future of the country or (ii) watching a pop star live
In the event that the show goes on as scheduled, these guys are determined to kill two birds with one stone
Meanwhile, some are taking the opportunity to fish for spare tickets from those who are considering skipping the concert altogether. #smart
At the time of writing, the fate of Bruno Mars' concert is still pretty much up in the air, although the concert organiser released a statement urging fans to keep a look out for a final decision
