Stop living in denial, PKR tells EC
By Stephanie Sta Maria, Free Malaysia Today
KUALA KUBU BARU: PKR has slammed the Election Commission for continuing to feign ignorance over the reassigning of 13,488 registered voters in Hulu Selangor to different polling stations than the one they had voted at in March 2008.
At a press conference here this afternoon, PKR candidate Zaid Ibrahim demanded that the EC explain the issue instead of just denying it.
“The EC has brushed aside the issue and even ordered PKR not to politicise it. But how can it do this without informing the voters and the opposition party? Is this how you run the country and elections?” he asked.
Zaid appealed to the voters to take the initiative of finding out their new polling stations in order to avoid chaos on election day this Sunday.
“I hope they will still vote even if their new station is a little further way. We are witnessing a massive problem and I hope Hulu Selangor will be able to overcome this unprecedented and unusual circumstance,” he said.
Meanwhile, PKR’s election director Fuziah Salleh claimed that the EC continues to be in denial even after she produced proof of the matter.
She described the situation as an “embarrassment” for a commission that is supposedly independent and responsible for ensuring fair elections.
