‘Explain PMO’s role in flying in dubious voters’
(FMT) – As many as 30,000 and more foreigners are being moved to the Peninsular from Sabah and Sarawak, claims Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar Ibrahim wants caretaker Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to explain the Prime Minister’s Office’s alleged role in moving 30,000 foreigners from Sabah and Sarawak to the Peninsular within the next three days.
“We have received information that chartered 747 jets, as many as 16 flights a day [will be used]. We have credible documentary evidence.
“Why is the Prime Minister’s Office involved, Najib?” the Pakatan Rakyat supremo asked during a press conference held at the PKR headquarters this morning.
He revealed that on average some 4,500 people were moved in 16 flights daily from East Malaysia, especially from Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan in Sabah and Sibu and Miri in Sarawak.
Bersih wants MAS to clarify
In another press conference today, Bersih 2.0 urged Malaysian Airlines (MAS) to clarify claims that Umno had been flying East Malaysians into Peninsular to vote.
“Based on reports, it appears that Boeing-747s are being used, and this is unusual because MAS had stopped using 747s,” Bersih co-chair S Ambiga told a press conference here.
“We hear the flights are happening in wee hours in the morning. We need to hear from MAS themselves if this is happening,” she added.
