Our Suspicious Election Roll
The latest revelation by 'Malaysians for Free and Fair Elections" (Mafrel) chairperson Abdul Malek Hussin as reported by Malaysiakini that there are 46 Ismail Ibrahims - all born in the year 1962 but registered as having different identity cards (IC) and living in 46 different localities - who have been registered to vote in various places throughout the country. Similarly, 14 Ismail Jusohs, all born in the year 1966 but hold different identity card numbers (IC) and registered as living in 14 different localities, have also been slated to vote.
Now this is too much, there are too many irregularities in the election roll. First we hear of many people over the age of 100 eligible to vote, than we have dozens of people all registered at the same address. Next come the revelation that soldiers have two identity cards - the army IC and mykad, thus the army is eligible to vote twice as a civilian using mykad and as army using the other IC. They are registered at two places. (Read about this here)
Now there are many Ismail Ibrahim and Ismail Jusoh born in 1962. I wonder what other names are popular in other years.
No wonder the use of indelible ink has bee shelved. This is maybe to make sure that some people are allowed to vote two or three times. Wow this is Malaysia really boleh.

Six Days To Election
Yes folks it is the last week for campaining before the elections. Every candidate will be busy trying t garner the votes. There are a few seats that I am eager to watch to see who wins. Especially those with 'famous' opposition candidates making their first attempt in elections like Nurul Izzah Anwar and Jeff Ooi. Me, I will be voting for the boring Segambut seat where the two candidates are GERAKAN Ma Woei Chyi and DAP Lim Lip Eng. The incumbent was Gerakan Dr Tan Kee Kwong who had previously won with a majority of 16,968. I really have no idea who Ma Woei Chyi and Lim Lip Eng are, let alone theirr track record. This is the first time I have heard their names. For the previous MP Dr Tan Kee Wong I often saw him as he often attend the functions at open houses and school functions. He is of course the son of the illustrious Tan Sri Dr Tan Chee Khoon also known as ‘Mr Opposition’. However for some reason he was dropped from the seat. I wonder why.
It is sad that PKR is fielding Nurul Izzah at Lembah Pantai, as it will be an uphill task for her going against three-term Lembah Pantai member of parliament Shahrizat Abdul Jalil. Read the story in Malaysiakini here.
However, let's hope that there will be a lot of upsets of the big guns.
