Opposition Lies Exposed in latest statistics produced by Election Commission (EC)

The Malaysian opposition party i.e. DAP, PKR and AMANAH lies has finally been exposed by the Election Commission. Recently, the opposition parties issued a statement saying that the EC is blocking the registration of new voters for the coming General Election (GE - 14). However, recent numbers published by the EC shows that the allegation made by DAP, PKR and AMANAH are mere liars and were done in bad faith to discredit the EC.

Based on the statistics produced by the EC, it has received 69,640 applications as voters during the third quarterly voters’ electoral roll registration period for July, August and September, said its secretary Abdul Ghani Salleh. 

He said, out of the total, 57,255 registered as new voters while another 12,385 applied to register for a change to a new addesss. 

“In accordance with the requirements of Regulation 13 of the Election Regulations (Registration of Electors) Regulations 2002, the third quarterly electoral roll is now on display for 14 days from October 27,” he said in a statement here today. 

According to Abdul Ghani, it is now displayed in 962 places nationwide, among them, state EC office; computerised post office; government office/complex; land office/district office; district/municipal council and multi purpose hall/neighbourhood and community centres. 

He reminded those applying as voters or for change their addresses to check the electoral roll and make claims for the duration of the exhibition by filling Form B, if their names were not listed. 

Meanwhile registered voters in any of the electoral divisions wishing to object the inclusion of any persons in the electoral roll could do so by completing Form C, he said. 

The voter can object to not more than 20 individuals in accordance with the sub-regulation 15 (3) of the Election Regulations (Registration of Electors) Regulations 2002. 

Abdul Ghani said the EC would also display the names of voters who will be removed from the electoral roll, among others, as having died or due to forfeiture of citizenship.

There are some important points above that we can focus on:

1. There is no issue for the rakyat to register as voters. The EC is not blocking anyone. In fact the rakyat can even change the place they vote. No issue whatsoever.

2. 57,255 registered as new voters while another 12,385 applied to register for a change to a new address. 

3. EC adheres to the constitution where “In accordance with the requirements of Regulation 13 of the Election Regulations (Registration of Electors) Regulations 2002, the third quarterly electoral roll is now on display for 14 days from October 27". No breaking the law whatsoever. 

4. EC would also display the names of voters who will be removed from the electoral roll, among others, as having died or due to forfeiture of citizenship. This is to avoid issue of phantom voters. 

5. Anyone with enquiries can contact the EC headquarters at telephone line 03-88927000, state election office or surf the EC website at www.spr.gov.my. 

So folks, there you go. The EC is doing its job as per the constitution. Not for the present government and there is no large scale "conspiracy" going on. They (EC) are just doing their jobs. So as citizens we shall support them and not condemn them as what the opposition are doing. Wake up!
