Selangor PAS today claimed that the Election Commission (EC) had failed to include many eligible voters on its latest supplementary electoral rolls, especially Chinese voters.

NONE Selangor PAS secretary Mohd Khairuddin Othman ( right in photo ) said at a press conference that they discovered that 243 Chinese voters who had registered under the Paya Jaras state constituency were left out of the updated rolls.

He said this only added credence to concerns that the EC had not done its job in updating the electoral rolls, while at the same time allowing the rolls to be abused by interested parties.

“The supplementary electoral rolls have been abused by certain parties to bring in voters who are clearly not qualified to become voters in Selangor,” he said.

Khairuddin also accused the EC of deliberately putting up a supplementary roll which did not have the complete address of voters.

“This has made it difficult for PAS’ election machinery to trace the location of those who had registered as new voters,” he said.

Opposition politicians kicked up a major fuss over the past few days, especially after Malaysiakini ran an article highlighting the inclusion of a Permanent Resident (PR) card holder on the supplementary roll.

Selangor PAS has also come up with its own data on the controversy, claiming to have found at least 1,100 names of PR holders on the updated roll.

The objection period for the latest supplementary roll closed yesterday.
