yes BN win the hulu selangor by-election… but only because:

* our dear PM, najib, offered RM3 mil. allocation for a chinese school and offered to build houses for a predominantly chinese village – spell BRIBERY!

read from malaysiakini (or click on ‘read more’ to read) or lim kit siang’s blog.

*   orang asli villages were barricaded up to prevent them from voting.

read from malaysiakini.

*   1 orang asli village voters of 180 people had been split into 2 voting stations.

read from malaysiakini (or click on ‘read more’ to read).

*  wanita UMNO members recorded down the particulars of the orang asli who had voted.

read from malaysiakini (or click on ‘read more’ to read).

* BN supporters chased PKR suporters with a PARANG!

read from the malaysian insider.

* and of course we also remember the character assassination umno played by painting zaid as a ‘kaki botol’ and ‘kaki judi’.

* before the election happened, zaid already lamented about the fraud by umno that will prevent him from winning.

i’m sure many other people can add in many other points.

DAP supremo and Ipoh Timor MP Lim Kit Siang expressed shock and disappointment today at the incidence of electoral bribery committed by PM Najib Abdul Razak yesterday in offering a RM3 million allocation for a school in Rasa, Hulu Selangor.

Najib, who was accompanied by Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein and MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek, announced the money would be used to replace the 80-year old building of SRJK (C) in Rasa, Hulu Selangor.

Newspaper reports of the event quoted Najib as saying: “If we win this by-election, you can come to Kuala Lumpur the next day to look for me. I will write a personal letter to approve the money and it will be transferred to the school board’s account.”

“If we lose, you don’t have to come,” Najib added.

‘Third test for MACC’

Following the mysterious death of DAP aide Teoh Beng Hock and the controversial acquittal of two ex-PKR Perak assemblypersons Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is now faced with this latest test of its integrity in the form of Najib’s electoral bribe, said Lim.

Najib should not have used the alleged RM3 million approval for Rasa Chinese Primary School as bait for votes in the Hulu Selangor by-election but to come straight-out to announce the RM3 million allocation without strings attached,” said Lim in a statement.

“Education should not become an election or by-election plaything,” he added.

Lim said he was further outraged by “the silence and complicity of MCA leaders” who were present when Najib made the announcement, including Chua Soi Lek, MCA’s two ministers Liew Tiong Lai and Kong Cho Ha and the party’s two deputy ministers Wee Ka Siong and Chor Chee Heung.

“The MCA leaders have again brought shame to the more than one million MCA members in the country,” said Lim.

Secondly, said the veteran opposition politician, Najib had violated the Election Offences Act 1957.

Citing Section 10 (1) of the Election Offences Act, Lim said it is an election offence for any person to promise “any money or valuable consideration” to any voter to induce him “to vote or refrain from voting” at any election.

Najib “clearly” committed this offense with the RM3 million promise for Rasa Chinese Primary School with the qualification that it would be withheld if BN loses Hulu Selangor to Pakatan Rakayt, said Lim.

“This is MACC’s latest and greatest test – dare it investigate the Prime Minister whether he had violated the Election Offences Act 1954 for RM3 million electoral bribery in Hulu Selangor by-election?” he asked.

Lim demanded that Najib sign the RM3 million cheque for the Rasa Chinese primary school even if BN were to lose in the Hulu Selangor.

“He has the moral and political responsibility to immediately honour the RM3 million approval if he is not going to be shamed in Parliament and wherever he goes in Malaysia as a ‘cheap-skate’ Prime Minister,” he said further.

Poser over Orang Asli voting

Newly-formed election watchdog My Election Watch (MEW) questioned today irregularities that it claims occurred during the casting of ballots by Hulu Selangor’s Orang Asli voters.

“We found several strange and funny things,” said the organisation’s head Ong Boon Keong (right).

One of the irregularities, explained Ong, is the 180 Orang Asli voters from a village in Pertak who have been split to two voting stations: some to Ampang Pecah, and others to SRJK Fraser.

The reason for dividing the voters, he said, was questionable.

“I asked the Election Commission’s (EC) enforcement officers at the voting stations as to why this is so. Their answer was that this is because of congestion.

“(But) this is weird. How can such a small number cause congestion? The voting centre can accommodate 600 people,” said Ong.

More strangely, added Ong, all the Orang Asli who voted had their particulars recorded in a notebook by several red-shirted Wanita Umno members.

“I don’t know why they are doing this. There was also another group of unidentified Orang Aslis doing the same thing (recording the particulars of those who voted), ” he said.

The activist added that he had taken pictures of the Wanita Umno volunteers and the unidentified group, as well as the contents of their notebooks.

Ong said he had he had tried to contact both the state EC and returning officer Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan about MEW’s concerns, but to no avail.

‘Barricades’

“There is also the case of barricades being erected to block the entrance to the Orang Asli villages last night,” Ong added.

An Orang Asli by the name of Antares had lodged a police report on the matter at the Kuala Kubu Baru police station. This is in addition to another report lodged by Selangor Exco and Bukit Lanjan assemblyperson Elizabeth Wong (left in white shirt).

Malaysiakini was informed later that the barricades had been taken down by police, who intervened after Wong’s report.

One of the ‘gangsters,’ who was said to have punched a visitor and smashed a camera after the latter tried to take a picture of the barricade that was set up, was also taken into custody.
