Pasir Gudang Umno division has questioned why Mengkibol state assemblyperson Tan Hong Pin was critical of Johor Menteri Besar Mohamed Khaled Nordin's voter details and not those from DAP.

Division assistant secretary Noor Azleen Ambros said the matter should not have arisen, given that DAP vice-president Teresa Kok used the address of her service centre to register as a voter.

"Why isn't the Mengkibol lawmaker not applying the same standards on Kok? We can prove that she used the address of her service centre for her voter record.

"Why the double standards (Tan)?" Noor Azleen told Malaysiakini.

According to Election Commission records, Kok is a registered voter at commercial centre in Taman Kinrara Seksyen 3, Selangor although the Kinrara DAP service centre has been relocated.

Kok was the Kinrara state assemblyperson between 2008 and 2013.

On Sunday, Tan lodged a complaint to the EC regarding hundreds of suspicious voters in Johor, including Khaled.

According to EC records, Khaled and dozens of others are voters associated with the address of the Pasir Gudang Umno division's headquarters at Jalan Tembusu, Taman Rinting, Johor.

Noor Azleen said it would appear that DAP was now scraping the bottom of the barrel and using trivial issues to attack Khaled.

Kok: I didn't move voters

On why Khaled has not changed his address to reflect his place of residence, Noor Azleen explained that the menteri besar's residence is in Johor Baru and an elected representative should be a registered voter in the constituency that he represents.

When contacted, Tan said he would not offer any comments on Kok's behalf but insisted that his complaint to the EC was valid because it made no sense to have 40 voters registered to one address.

"In Khaled's case, it is different and extreme. There are 40 voters registered using one office address.

“This is proof that someone is trying to manipulate the voter list," he said.

Meanwhile, Kok confirmed that she had used her former office address for her voter records and insisted that she had not committed a crime.

"I was not involved in the illegal moving of voters. I was nominated to contest in Selangor and I needed a Selangor address.

"According to the EC's rules, we need to be registered according to the address on the MyKad. But it doesn't mean I have to sleep there.

"You can check for yourself. I didn't move other voters to that address. I am the only voter. It was my office," she said.
