Another thing Killer, you asked why they ask this only now? Duh, because its the election period, (edited). Before that people don’t even know when election going to be held so they didn’t bother to check. Not helped by the bumbling Imam Hadhari - “no, no parliament will not be dissolved on February 13th” crap. Anyway the SPR was not even ready yet with the full roll before Chinese New Year Eve.

Simple enough reasons? Why if its so simple can you please tell us stupid and fanatic Hindraf supporters, o brilliant Killer?

Voter need to ask him/herself. What a typical BN government response. You should be asking SPR, but good luck getting non-evasive answers from EC “my term was extended by a year by amending the constitution” Chairman.

Killer, Killer what would we do without BN goons like you?

1)The EC stated that there were 8,666 people in the electoral roll who were above the age 100. Among these, hundreds were aged 120 years and above. In its defense the EC Secretary, stated that as far as they are concerned all these people are still alive! For your reference the oldest people in the world barely reached 120 years old and yet in the roll, there were several dozen people aged 120 years and above. How can they be still alive? If they were as the EC Secretary stated, then Malaysia can claim a world record of sorts, which the ego loving BN would have love to have.

What does this have to do with pengundi hantu? Well, simply put the opposition does not have enough manpower to monitor all electoral stations throughout the whole of Malaysia. What’s to stop BN from sending in these 100 year old pengundi hantus to stations with no opposition monitors?

Logically, it can be deduced that the NRD did not inform SPR that these 100 year olds are dead. What about polling stations with opposition monitors then? Well, if our great civil service can fail to clear the roll of 8,666 100 year old deceased persons, what’s not to stop them from not cleaning it of deceased people who are very much younger? This deceased ID’s could be plausibly used by pengundi hantus to slip by because the age of the stolen identity more closely correlates to that of the hantu that is sent. Until the SPR cleans the roll beyond reasonable doubt, in a open transparent manner to the whole world, there will always be doubts. Surely you can understand doubts, even though you don’t doubt the BN?

2)How about the famous postal votes of tentera and polis? Well, they can vote twice of course! How you ask? One by postal ballot and again in person at a polling station. Here, just check this out for yourself:

Now, what is to stop the BN from doing precisely that, since the person is registered TWICE in the electoral roll?

3)There have been reports made by normal citizens, like you and me, that when they checked their names with SPR, there were 30 to 40 people who were also registered to vote whose address was the same as them, even thought they were a family of four! Simple cock up by our great civil service or something more sinister?

4)There are many cases of people who voted in previous general elections and who have never moved house, found out that this election, they were transferred to vote in another area. This is despite their spouses who live in the same house have not been transferred. How do you account for that?

5)Similar to point number 4, there have been people who were unregistered from the roll, even though they have voted in previous elections.

6)And the kicker of all…they are people who have never lost their IC, wanting to register for the first time to vote, found out that they already were registered in a different state which they have never been to in their entire lives. Who registered their identities? Is the SPR interested to investigate the case further. Nope. Apa alasan? Tak ada alasan.

So, simple-minded Killer, care to provide some answers to each point above? Then maybe you can prove that you are not so simple-minded after all!

What criteria do the police use in issueing permits for rallies? Is it alright if the predominant race organizes the rallies? Are police permits reserved only for the UMNO and other BN componant parties?

Is the BN scared of political rallies that have toppled governments in other parts of the world? Do they fear the same fate if the Opposition is given permits for rallies and coverage during the runup to the General Election through government controlled media?

When the government controls all the media especially the newspapers and other print media through issuance of yearly permits, why then is it obsessed with curbing all news about the Opposition and revoking the permits of not pro-government papers?

If any medium airs or prints seditious or defamatory news, they can be made answerable to the courts of the land. Is it because the government has lost the respect of the judiciary or feels the judiciary is becoming corrupted and uncontrollable?

Freedom of speech and freedom of all the media without government interference is one of the prerequisites in a democracy.

When the EC is not transparent and impartial, how can he say that the election machinery is transparent? For example, why are the members of the same household with the same address given different constituencies to cast their votes? Isn’t it another way of vote splitting? Is it also part of gerrymandering?

Please do not think all voters are deceived by your propaganda. As a responsible voter my vote goes to the candidate whom I think will speak up for my rights as a citizen. I do not vote blindly for party symbols!
