I refer to the Malaysiakini report Sivarasa: I did not lose division polls .

I write to state that the impression created in your report that there was jeering, heckling and disruption during the PKR Subang annual general meeting division meeting is not accurate. The suggestion that this led to the postponement of the Subang election of division leaders is also not correct.

The AGM had problems in the way the voting - by show of hands for nominations - for national leaders was handled. But, apart from that, it proceeded and was completed.

What was not completed was the Subang Division leaders election which is a separate process from the AGM altogether. This could not take place because of defective ballot papers which were rectified late.

As a result, the senior election official present, Sabaruddin, had no option but to declare a postponement of the election at about 2.30pm. Then, I and many other candidates and members left the venue.

Regrettably, a group of members including a few candidates then used threats of confinement and violence on the election officials and forced them to proceed with balloting.

The election officials have lodged reports with the police and the party. I understand that the PKR national election committee will decide on the issue next week after receiving all reports.
