Discrepancies in the Election Commission (EC) database appears to be mounting as DAP revealed today that it has found 12 more voters in the electoral database with male identification card numbers with female names while its coalition partner, PAS, has spotted more phantom voters. "These are all new postal voters in the Rembau constituency in the 2nd quarter electoral roll update. I didn't know they allowed same sex marriage in the army. There are 12 of them (with female names but) carry a male MyKad number," said Rasah MP Anthony Loke.
Speaking at a press conference at the DAP's Kuala Lumpur Headquarters today, Loke who was accompanied by DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua, did a live search on some of the voter's on EC's website to back his claims.
Some of the 12 sample searches threw up the names of;
Erni Sariza Hassan Basri (IC: 840329015139),
Norhayati Ab Rahman (IC: 840315025985) and
Norliza Zainin (IC: 710620106495). According to the National Registration Deparment (NRD) system, the last digit of the identity card number is odd for males and even for females. Loke, also DAP youth chief said that he will be meeting EC deputy chief Wan Ahmad Wan Omar after the latter called on him to submit all evidence of electoral discrepancies.
"I take up his offer and I will be at his office on Sept 12, on Monday at 10am, we will submit these (evidence) to the EC. I hope Wan Ahmad himself will be there to receive my evidence," he said.
Spouses registered without consent?Loke (left) also slammed Wan Ahmad for suggesting that his similar revelation on Tuesday was a result of the assistant registrar making a mistake as the voter being registered was not present thus their gender could not be verified.
"This is an admission from Wan Ahmad that these spouses had been registered as postal voters without their consent...When you register someone, that person must appear in front of the assistant registrar and sign the form himself," he said.
Asked if the DAP will consider other avenues as their revelations have not prompted the EC into attempting any serious action, Lim who is also Penang chief minister, said that was a work in progress.
"Even though the EC will dismiss this with some flimsy excuse... but the point is that all this facts will be used when we submit it to independent foreign election observers, including the United Nations," he said.
Lim added that these discrepancies normally happened to marginal seats and less so in strongholds.
"In Penang, we found that the number of Umno voters have gone down, I'm shocked but this is our stronghold so where have they gone?" he said.
PAS detects phantom voters
Meanwhile, at the PAS headquarters, its Johor youth chief Suhaizan Kaiat revealed three more cases of what appears to be permanent resident applicants listed as voters.
The individuals appear on the Election Commission website as voters in Terengganu and Selangor, but the National Registration Department website states that they are holders of green identity cards.
A green identity card (MyKas) denotes that they are applying to be permanent residents.
They are..
Numi Syukri (MyKas number 880306115096),
Hasmidah Surahbil (MyKas number 820315126446) and
Jamaluddin Tahir (MyKas number 840803125475).
According to Serdang PAS Youth chief Mohd Adram Musa, Jamaluddin could be a "phantom voter".
"We went to find him but his address does not exist. It states Jalan Pintar 11 but when I went there I found Jalan Pintar only goes up to number 5," said Mohd Adram, who is a local council member for the area where Jalan Pintar is located.
Kuala Terengganu MP Mohd Wahid Endut claimed that in Terengganu alone PAS has found 5,006 Burmese permanent resident applicants listed as voters. "2272 of them are in the Kemanan parliamentary constituency and 1,329 in the Kijal state constituency, held by Terengganu MB Ahmad Said.
Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad, also present today, added that "thousands of ringgit" have been spent on this effort which is not actually the party's work.
As such, they are calling on the EC to stop "doing piecemeal changes each time a matter is raised by the media" and go for a "total overhaul" of the electoral roll.
"Admit that the roll is dirty, form a special committee to overhaul the list and ensure an election is not called until the roll is cleaned up," he said.
