Resolving the Electoral Fraud Allegations

I am unable to make a proper decision on the issue of electoral fraud.

As we know the four main stories circulation on FB with regard to electoral fraud are:

1. The Bentong blackout
2. The ballot delivery to Lembah Pantai
3. The ballot delivery to Gelang Patah.
4. The Phantom voter allegations

I have been trying to track down things that will give me a clearer picture. Yet if anything I am more confuse. There are stories that claim to debunk the four incidents, what’s more surprising it comes from most opposition/opposition related sources.

The following is what I have found:

1) The Bentong Black out.

The DAP candidate of N33, Bilut DUN seat, under Parliament Bentong (who won) has come out to say he was at the Bentong polling centre the whole time when the incident allegedly happened. According to him no such incident took place.

2) The ballot delivery to Lembah Pantai

A person claiming to be Nurul Izzah’s Counting Agent has stated the vote count matches their estimations correctly. Apparently no tear gas was even fired.

3) The ballot delivery to Gelang Patah.

It was explained that it was ignorance of balloting process blamed. Credit must go to the PR members who helped the ballots passed.

4) The Phantom voter allegations

So many stories of mistaken identity; of genuine Malaysian sbeing mistaken as a bangla or even beaten up. Pictures of Bangla outside buses allegedly at Gelang Patah has no indication as to where it was taken etc.
Even Pas Gombak has posted a retraction in one ofthe cases.

 Again I reiterate, PR must come out with an official list of all the allegations they consider to be valid. If any of the above debunking are prove to be true, the person who first created these messages should be criminally charged and thrown in prison. What is also clear, Malaysians must start to vent through what they share and not blindly share unverified rumours. If you ever find yourself in such a position, one should lodge a police report on that post and email your candidate.

I honestly believe that there is no point of Anwar Ibrahim having a rally if they can’t come up with a proper list of the allegations PR finds valid.

I find it sad that SPR has not properly responded to the allegations of election fraud in detail and that I had to do this via conversations and searches on my own. Even sadder is that BN isn’t even properly reacting to these allegations beyond saying that PR supporters are being unfair to the process only when they lose and challenge it in court.

Regardless of how BN feels about those allegations, BN must support such enquiry in to election fraud actively because if not you risk losing supporters (myself included) and a further backlash in the next General Election.

Again I stress,fellow BN supporters, we must support calls for a proper explanation. My PR friends, again, urge and push PR to compile their full list of allegations along with whatever proof (videos, photos etc) they may have. Let’s properly move forward and resolve this issue.
