'Balai Polis Kerinchi' pengundi di Lembah Pantai

Lebih 90 nama bermasalah dikesan daripada 2,180 nama dalam senarai pengundi pos yang terkandung dalam daftar induk pemilih bagi kawasan parlimen Lembah Pantai, kata ahli parlimennya, Nurul Izzah Anwar.

"Kami ada 97 pengundi yang nama mereka tidak dijumpai di laman web Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR); nampaknya mereka boleh mengundi di dua tempat. Rekod-rekod lain yang mencurigakan juga dijumpai pada daftar pemilih yang dikemaskini sehingga Jun 2011," katanya.

Pada sidang akhbar di pusat khidmat PKR di Lembah Pantai hari ini, Nurul Izzah berkata, antara penemuan yang dianggap pelik ialah nama seorang pengundi yang didaftarkan sebagai "Balai Polis Kerinchi" dalam daftar pemilih induk.

"Apabila kita semak butir-butir menggunakan nombor kad pengenalan polis bagi mengenal pasti pengundi berkenaan, nama itu wujud tetapi dalam daftar pemilih SPR ia menunjukkan sebaliknya," katanya.

Beliau berkata, nombor kad pengenalan, RF161872, pada pangkalan data SPR menunjukkan ia milik Yusop Mohd Faizul Mohd .

"Kita tidak tahu jika ia Balai bin Polis Kerinchi atau Balai Polis bin Kerinchi," sindir Nurul Izzah.

Masalah-masalah lain termasuk rekod pengundi tidak dijumpai di laman web SPR tetapi muncul dalam daftar pemilih.

"Apa yang lebih mengejutkan ialah ada pengundi yang disenaraikan di dua pusat mengundi. Sebagai contoh, Saripah Arif (RF90153), disenaraikan sebagai pengundi pos di balai polis Pantai dan juga balai polis Pekan, yang terletak di Pahang," katanya.

Pada tahun 2008 kawasan pilihan raya itu mempunyai kira-kira 56000 pengundi tetapi pada Jun tahun ini, Lembah Pantai kini mempunyai kira-kira 70,000 pengundi berdaftar.

"Kita tidak lagi boleh mempercayai sistem sekarang, apa yang akan berlaku jika pilihan raya diadakan secara tiba-tiba? Ini adalah daftar yang diwartakan bagi suku ketiga. Ini adalah senarai daftar yang kita terpaksa gunakan jika pilihan raya diadakan esok," katanya dengan nada kecewa.

Nurul Izzah sebelum ini berkata bahawa bilangan pengundi pos naik secara mendadak sebanyak 1,363 peratus dalam tempoh dua bulan - dari hanya 149 orang pada 26 Sept tahun ini kepada 2,180 pada 2 November lalu.

Asri: No new ideas from Umno

Asri: No new ideas from Umno

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1 — A nervous Umno has failed to bring a new ideas to voters ahead of a general election expected soon, says Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin.

The maverick scholar, who has a large following here, told The Malaysian Insider the senior partner in Barisan Nasional (BN) must understand the youth do not just need material wealth but also assurances of their rights and freedom.

“Umno must give a clear idea, one that is compelling according to the current era, place and generation.

“The current generation is different from those in the past. They will not be attracted by just cash and handouts,” the former Perlis mufti said after attending the start of Umno’s general assembly as the party’s guest yesterday.

Asri, who is now a research fellow at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, cited other Muslim countries such as Bahrain and Saudi Arabia who are “rich and have no money problems but what they need and want are

rights and freedom.”

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has promised a raft of reforms over the past few months but the opposition and civil society have said his “political transformation programme” has fallen short.

Although a parliamentary select committee has been meeting to discuss electoral reforms, the Peaceful Assembly Bill passed this week is said to be “even more repressive” than previous regulations while the repeal of the Internal Security Act has been delayed to March.

Umno is holding what is likely to be its last general assembly before polls expected early next year with a focus on the need to be relevant.

Party president Najib has called on Umno to be “extraordinary” to gain a strong mandate in the coming elections while his deputy Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin invited members to a “jihad (holy war)” in what he termed “the mother of all elections.”

But Asri, a Universiti Sains Malaysia lecturer, said Umno appears to have contracted “an anxiousness” as “most voters support the opposition not because they like the opposition but because they hate Umno.”

“Why do they hate Umno? This is a phenomenon that Umno must understand instead of attacking the opposition endlessly.

“Umno is talking among themselves. I see Umno is now anxious and has no idea what will happen in the coming elections,” he said.
