Instead of spoiling their votes in the 14th general election (GE14), those unsure of who to vote for should do more research, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Salleh Said Keruak.

He said the spoiling of votes was not good for democracy or for the nation.

"If you are disappointed with political parties, spoiling your vote is not the answer [...] it doesn't solve our political differences.

"If you are confused over which party to choose as the best, then look for the information," he said, adding that technology had put access to information at the people's fingertips.

"What information should they look for? Find information about the track record of leaders and parties contesting, their offerings and their agenda," he said.

Salleh said this in a blog post commenting on the #undirosak social media campaign.

The senator said voters should choose which leadership had been proven to provide stability and harmony for all besides prioritising issues such as national security, poverty eradication and economic development.

The #undirosak campaign has been trending over social media and calls for young voters to deliberately spoil their vote when casting their ballots during the forthcoming polls.

The campaign's advocates say this should be done as a form of protest against all politicians and that there was no difference between BN and Pakatan Harapan.

The movement, launched on Jan 7, picked up steam after Harapan put up ex-premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad as their prime ministerial candidate.

It is not clear how widespread the movement is but politicians and their supporters from both sides of the divide, including Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, have voiced out against it.
