PKR wants Umno probed over alien voter claim
By Boo Su-Lyn, The Malaysian Insider
HULU SELANGOR, May 11 — PKR today dismissed Hulu Selangor Umno’s denial that it had applied for 2,000 foreign workers to be given citizenship to help secure a Barisan Nasional (BN) victory here in the next general election.
Instead, Selangor PKR deputy chairman Zuraida Kamaruddin urged the police to investigate her party’s allegations against the Umno division and the authenticity of its purported letter to the Home Ministry.
“There’s a letter here, proof,” Zuraida told reporters today.
“Let the police investigate. I don’t know if the letter is false… (but) it comes from a credible source… a government office,” she added.
Hulu Selangor Umno yesterday said the document was a forgery, pointing out that the letterhead used was not the one usually used by the division.
It also claimed division chief Datuk Mohamed Idris Abu Bakar’s signature on the letter was different, and that his name was not used in its entirety.
