Tired of Electoral Fraud Allegations? Yeah, me too.


Tired of electoral fraud allegations? Yeah, me too.

For those of you who are interested, SPR has responded to the allegations of electoral fraud through a series of interviews in the papers.

Here are the links:

But of course they don't shared in social media coz:
1) SPR a bit "bodoh sombong" when it comes to social media.
2) it's not controversial enough for PR cyber troopers to attack and not favorable to PR. 
3) BN cyber troopers are not smart enough to spread it proper.

As can be read, aside from highlighting that the Bentong blackout did not happen, the rest of the rebuttals were very general in nature.

To be fair to SPR, this is in part I believe, because no one bothers to highlight specific incidents that will force them to respond in detail. Yes, people have been sharing alleged specific "incidents", but with enough research or thought put to those incidents you will find that it has been dispute or that those incidents does not make any sense.

Hence why I am very anal for PR to come up with a list of specific incidents which they consider valid. Don't just say there were bangla voters or money politics or "undi rosak terlampau banyak." Show it with examples of incidents in that area. 

Rafizi has alleged that 27 parliament seats have been identify but he has yet to list out what was wrong with each seat with examples of incidents.

He has yet to show all this "proof" he has been compiling. What is more worrying, he has been recorded to say:

"What is important is creating the momentum, awareness and disgust among the people on how various methods of cheating by BN were used to skew the results.” 

Showing again that it is more of an emotion play by PR. Its like PR is not serious  about filling the petitions within the 21 days but rather go to a "People's Tribunal" more to fulfill its need to win perception & invock emotions, truth be damned.

Just based on Rafizi's "majority is smaller then the undi rosak" criteria, I also can alleged that PAS committed election fraud in the parliament seats of Kuala Nerus, Terrengganu and Bachok, Kelantan for example.

I will be honest. This post is to vent out my frustration on all these rumours and lies that have been spread out on social media hence why I'm not trying to be diplomatic.

I'm getting tired of PR's drama of electoral fraud when no official list of allegations are forth coming (allegations mind you, I'm not even asking for them to prove electoral fraud). 

Really what is the point of the multiple rallies when even this cannot be done?! The Kelana Jaya one, DS Anwar Ibrahim wanted to show proof of election fraud, did that happen? No.

When the election fraud allegations first started to spread, my faith in BN was shaken. I demanded an accounting from SPR and probably spent way too much time on the web trying to verify the allegations. But the more I read, the more I find that major incidents spread during the election period on FB were fake, created by PR supporters who just want to sow distrust to election process eg Bentong blackout, Lembah Pantai ballot box adding, Gelang Patah failed ballot box delivery and etc.

Now you couple this with DS Anwar Ibrahim's insistence on holding multiple rallies without having a list of valid allegations till today. Add to the mix PR supporters spreading lies on FB about GST, cost of goods (roti, tong fast etc), price of oil and etc. I think even you can't blame me for not trusting PR's statements on this any longer. 

PR is slowly but surely losing its credibility on this issue and sounding more and more like sore losers. Crying electoral fraud only when it's not to their favor.

I'm a BN supporter that supports the investigation into the allegations of electoral fraud. But damn it man, lets stop all the lies and rumor sharing without verification regardless whether you are for BN or for PR.
