EC still mulling which overseas Malaysians can vote
(The Malaysian Insider) – The Election Commission (EC) said today that it has no problem letting Malaysians residing abroad vote in elections but stressed it was still deciding who qualifies to do so.
“The EC has no objection to this but it comes down to details…,” EC chairman Tan Sri Aziz Yusof (picture) told reporters here.
“Sometimes we have Malaysians who have lived overseas for 30 years and who’ve never been back. They can’t even speak Malay (anymore). Should they be allowed to vote?”
