KLANG – An Election Commission (EC) worker died while on duty at the ACS Methodist School polling centre in Jalan Raya Barat here, this afternoon.

South Klang police chief Cha Hoong Fong said in a statement today that the 45-year-old victim was believed to have fallen unconscious while riding on a buggy at the polling station.
