Here are five quirky items we found on the marketplace to help stoke
that election fever ahead of the upcoming 14th General Election:
1) Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad’s Horse Riding
Silver Statue
Weighing around 3kg, a rare riding statue of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad
is a masterpiece created and produced Wizart Studio Sdn Bhd out of respect for the former Prime Minister of
Malaysia. One was later presented to Tun Dr Mahatir as a memento.
“This is a one-of-a-kind statue that my studio
produced to present to Tun Dr Mahathir himself. There are only 2 copies in the
world! One is with Tun Dr. Mahathir, and the other is on sale on Carousell,”
said Dina Yahya (Carousell Store: _min_onepitstop).
2) Vintage Merdeka Memorabilia

“I have always been fascinated by vintage items. I zoomed in on Merdeka
and Malaya-era items as they are scarce, especially to Malaysians. I normally
find the older pieces more interesting, which is why I normally collect items
from the 50s to 80s era or earlier. I hunt for them online and in flea markets
all over Malaysia & Singapore,” said Adrian (Carousell Store: nicimeow)
It is always exciting to be associated with politics, but keeping a
14-karat gold ring by a political party is also pretty cool and a great way to show your support for
the party. The ring is currently on sale on Carousell for RM1,800.
Akmal bin Azman, 21, (Carousell Store: akmalazmn) said, “This UMNO
ring belongs to a collector friend of mine who was looking for an avenue to
sell some of his private collection. Carousell has helped us to sell many of
our items and it soon forged a partnership between us. It became a revenue
generator for us. This rare and unique 14-karat gold UMNO ring will be
one of our most precious possession sold on Carousell, and we hope that it
would soon find a new owner.”
4) 1990’s Undi Barisan Nasional Poster
This rare old poster written in Jawi, probably for the rural North, is
one of only two posters that the seller has.
“I have two pieces of this poster – one for me and one for my dad. It is
hard to find pieces of history in mint condition. I am selling it now as I want
to give others and opportunity to earn this rare memorabilia,” said Muhammad
Hazim Bin Mohd Ridzuan. (Carousell Store: genuineforless)
5) Najib Razak and Khairy Jamaluddin Inspired

Nurfazlyana Shahira bt Mohd Rosli partnered bakers to produce these
Najib Razak colada jackfruit buns and Khairy Jamaluddin chocolate cupcakes
which would make unique gifts for Malaysians.
“Cupcakes are one of the desserts that have no boundaries when it comes
to creativity. Creating a series of cupcakes inspired by political figures such
as our Prime Minister and our Youth and Sports Minister help bring more
attention to our political scene and the potential of Malaysia’s culinary
creativity. I hope that Malaysians will enjoy the richness of our politics,
just like our cupcakes.” (Carousell Store: fazly_ana)
