Isu dakwat kekal: SPRM siasat SPR...

Pengarah siasatan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) Datuk Mustafar Ali berkata siasatan kini sedang dijalankan ke atas Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) berhubung pembelian dakwat yang didapati dapat ditanggalkan dengan mudah ketika digunakan dalam pilihan raya umum 5 Mei.

Laporan Sinar Harian menyebut, Mustafar mengesahkan bahawa satu pasukan siasatan dibentuk sejak minggu lalu, susulan rungutan orang ramai berhubung ketahanan dakwat yang digunakan untuk menanda jari pemilih yang telah membuang undi itu.

“Saya hanya boleh mengesahkan bahawa SPRM menyiasat isu ini sama ada terdapatnya penyelewengan dalam pembelian dan spesifikasi (dakwat),” katanya seperti dipetik Sinar Harian.-malaysiakini

Petugas SPR dapat bonus RM200 juta, kata menteri...

Para petugas Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) yang menjalankan tanggungjawab dan bekerja semasa pilihan raya umum ke-13 lalu telah menerima wang bonus sebanyak RM200 juta lebih, kata Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim dalam jawapan bertulis di Dewan Rakyat hari ini.

Menteri Di Jabatan Perdana Menteri itu berkata sebanyak RM400 juta telah diluluskan kepada SPR untuk menjalankan pilihan raya pada 5 Mei lalu, peningkatan sebanyak 100 peratus berbanding kos Pillihan Raya 2012 yang hanya berjumlah RM200 juta.

"Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat, kos perbelanjaan Pilihan Raya Umum 2013 yang telah diluluskan oleh Kementerian Kewangan adalah sebanyak RM400 juta," kata Shahidan.

"Bayaran perkhidmatan dan saguhati kepada semua petugas pilihan raya umum adalah sebanyak RM204,100,000." 

Dalam jawapan tersebut lagi, Shahidan juga berkata SPR diberikan sebanyak RM5,081,000 diberikan untuk elaun lebih masa, bayaran utiliti (sewaan pengangkutan, barung semak daftar pemilih, peralatan ICT, sewaan talian, telefon dan faks, dan lain-lain) sebanyak RM98,465,000 dan lain-lain perbelanjaan pula sebanyak RM92,354,000.

Susulan jawapan daripada Shahidan tersebut, Ahli Parlimen Seremban (DAP) Loke Siew Fook mempersoalkan peningkatan perbelanjaan SPR pada pilihan raya kali ini berbanding tahun 2008 sambil menyifatkan jumlah perbelanjaan RM1.8 juta untuk setiap kawasan Parlimen adalah tidak munasabah.

"Mengapa dalam tempoh 5 tahun perbelanjaan untuk pilihan raya boleh melambung 100 peratus walaupun bilangan pengundi yang terlibat hanya bertambah 20 peratus.

"RM400 juta untuk mengendalikan pilihan raya untuk 222 kerusi Parlimen bermaksud purata kos untuk pengendalian sebuah kawasan Parlimen ialah RM1.8 juta! Ini merupakan satu angka yang besar memandangkan had perbelanjaan untuk seseorang calon yang bertanding di peringkat Parlimen hanyalah RM200 ribu," kata Loke dalam sidang media di lobi Parlimen pagi ini.

Beliau juga mendesak SPR untuk mendedahkan setiap perbelanjaan mereka sambil menyifatkan agensi pilihan raya tersebut telah menghabiskan duit rakyat secara boros terutamanya dalam kontroversi yang menyelebungi dakwat kekal bernilai RM7.1 juta walaupun dakwat tersebut sebaliknya tidak kekal.

SPR berdepan tekanan selepas pendedahan di Parlimen baru-baru ini dimana bahan kimia dalam dakwat tersebut telah diganti dengan pewarna makanan yang menyebabkan ia mudah ditanggal.

Menteri Di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Shahidan Kassim mengakui di Dewan Rakyat pada Rabu lalu pewarna makanan, bukannya nitrat perak yang digunakan dalam dakwat kekal.

Beliau berkata dakwat tertanggal kerana bahan kimia yang sepatutnya adalah punca dakwat tersebut mudah dibersihkan tetapi juga menyalahkan pengundi yang cuba membasuhnya sebagai punca ia tidak kekal.

Pengerusi SPR Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof juga berhadapan tekanan daripada umum selepas dilaporkan beliau menerima surat daripada Kementerian Kesihatan mengatakan kerosakan buah pinggang dan risiko barah berkemungkinan dihadapi oleh pengundi sekiranya dakwat kekal mengandungi nitrat perak melebihi daripada satu peratus.

Dakwaan Aziz kemudiaan ditolak oleh Menteri Kesihatan Datuk Seri Dr. Subramaniam yang berkata laporan sedemikian tidak pernah dikeluarkannya serta mendakwa mereka tidak menerima permintaan untuk membuat analisis. - 1 Julai, 2013.-malaysian insider

MACC task force to probe indelible ink fiasco...

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has formed a task force to investigate the indelible ink fiasco.

Sinar Harian quoted director of investigations Mustafar Ali (right) as saying that the probe would be an in-depth one, and that the team would examine whether or not there were abuses in the purchase and specifications of the ink used in the May 5 polls.

The Malay-language daily reported that the investigating team was set up last week after Shahidan Kassim, the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, revealed that the ink contains food colouring.

Also according to the report, PKR’s Batu MP Tian Chua has renewed calls for the top two Election Commission officials - chairperson Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof and his deputy Wan Ahmad Wan Omar - to be suspended pending the outcome of the probe.

Umno supreme council member Saifuddin Abdullah has welcomed the probe, saying this would alleviate the accusations levelled against the EC.

Wan Ahmad has reportedly said the EC is not worried and is prepared to be investigated.

The indelible ink, which the EC had claimed would last seven days, was found to come off easily within hours of the application on polling day.-malaysiakini

MACC is investigating EC??? ha! ha! ha!...joke of the week...the fact that no Malaysian has trust the EC, PDRM and MACC...

EC, workers got RM200 million bonus for GE13...

Putrajaya gave RM200 million in bonuses to Election Commission (EC) officials and workers on duty for Election 2013, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim said in a written reply in the Dewan Rakyat today.

The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department said RM400 million was allocated to the EC for the May 5 general election, which was a 100 per cent increase from the budget for the 2008 general election.

"The expenditure cost for the 2013 General Election that was approved by the Ministry of Finance was RM400 million," Shahidan said in his reply.

"The payment for services and bonus to all election workers is RM204,100,000," he added.

Shahidan told the house that RM5,081,000 was disbursed as allowance for overtime payment, payment for transport services, utility bills, ICT equipment, telecommunications service payment.

In the lobby, Seremban MP (DAP) Loke Siew Fook questioned the expenses compared to the 2008 general election.

"How come in five years the expenses for a constituency can increase by 100 per cent even though the number of voters had increased only by 20 per cent? RM400 million to carry out elections in 222 constituencies which averages out to RM1.8 million per constituency ? ” he asked.

He said the EC had been generous with public funds especially in the way it had spent RM7.1 million on the indelible ink, which he claimed was not at all effective in preventing fraud.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Shahidan Kassim told the house last Wednesday that food dye and not silver nitrate was used in the ink .

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof also received flak from MPs when he said that the Health Ministry had warned about possible damage to health.

He had claimed that the ink should not have content of more than one per cent silver nitrate.

However, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said the Ministry had issued no such warning to the EC.

He also said the EC had not made any request from to the ministry for any analysis. - 1 July, 2013.-malaysian insider
