Mengkibol assemblyperson Tan Hong Pin said today that objections have been filed against all 1,051 army voters found to be transferred to the Segamat camp, which is still under construction.

Speaking during a press conference at electoral reform coalition Bersih's office in Petaling Jaya, Tan said funds were raised to cover the objection costs of names found in the 2017 third quarter Supplementary Electoral Roll (RDPT), which was put on display from Oct 25 to Nov 6.

"Yesterday, we had submitted the objections. We collected RM10,000 to pay for the objections.

"We are worried that if the objections are rejected, there's a high risk that we have to pay over RM200,000, (but) that's a consequence that we must face," Tan, who is also Johor DAP Youth chief, said.

Any individual who wishes to register an objection with the EC will have to pay RM10 and if the objection is rejected, an additional cost of up to RM200 can be imposed.

While the Segamat camp was initially targeted for completion in April next year, Tan further said that DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang, during his visit to the construction site last Friday, discovered the sign which displayed the work completion date had "gone missing".

"So now we don't know whether it will be completed tomorrow or next year," he pointed out, although adding there is no justification to register new voters in the current third quarter's electoral roll.

Tan, together with Kluang MP Liew Chin Tong, had last week raised concerns over the presence of army voters at the Segamat camp and another camp in Majidee, Johor Baru, that closed down three years ago.

'EC must be responsible'

In a separate statement, PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar urged the EC to respond to the issue, pointing out that a failure to do so would tarnish its credibility ahead of GE14.

"Assuming that EC fails to give a comprehensive answer, there are concerns that many parties will be raising (issue of) its credibility and intention.

"More so when we scrutinise BN's majority in the seats, on top of the ever nearing election date, it is clear this matter can create a negative image towards the EC," said Nurul Izzah.

Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein previously rubbished the allegations of army voters being transferred for BN's political mileage.

He also said such allegations should be answered by the military as the end users of the camps.
