TAWAU: Sri Tanjung Assemblyman,
Jimmy Wong yesterday received a complaint from a voter about the latter being
transferred to another constituency without his knowledge and consent.
The complainant who is a
senior citizen, migrated from Perak to Tawau 40 years ago and he had cast his
vote in all the elections held over the years in the Sri Tanjung constituency.
During the last general
election, he cast his vote at the Sabah Chinese High School, a polling district
in the Sri Tanjung state constituency which is nearby his residence.
The Election Commission (EC)
would, under normal circumstances, allocate to any voter a constituency
according to the address stated on his identity card and a change can only be
effected if there was an application made by the voter personally to the
commission.
In this case, the
complainant’s residential address is Taman Cynthia, Jalan Chong Thain Vun,
Tawau and has never submitted an application for transfer to another
constituency.
Responding to the complaint,
the Sabah DAP chief queried the logic of the action taken by the EC to change
the constituency of the affected voter without his consent and knowledge.
He expressed worry that the
complainant’s case might only be the tip of the iceberg.
“What is the logic adopted
by the EC to justify such a change? And this has been done without the
knowledge of the person affected.
“Is there any special plan
to move the voters out from their constituency?” Wong asked.
Jimmy went on to say that
the grapevine in the district have had it for sometime that some 2,000 voters
have been moved out of the Sri Tanjung constituency which solidify his
assertion that it was a plot to unseat him in the next general election.
He urged voters to check
their respective voting constituencies by accessing www.spr.gov.my or sending a
SMS to15888, by typing SPR>semak>IC No.).
“Voters may request DAP’s
assistance to check their status. DAP Sabah will compile all these cases and
file a complaint to the EC. This is a programme to demand for clean elections
and without a properly conducted election, democracy is rendered meaningless,”
he said. (theborneopost)

ReplyDeleteJimmy kena perjelaskan dari mana dia dpt sijil tersebut padahal dia sebenarnya tidak layak mendapatnya.
DeleteYa, Jimmy Wong is using a fake native certificate even though he is not a Kadazan, he does not even have a drop of Kadazan blood in his body. He must explain how he gotten the certificate.
Deletedari mana Jimmy wong mendapatkan sijil tersebut?
DeleteThe Electoral Commission needs to make explanation on why the voters are transferred without their consent?
ReplyDeleteharus juga memberi penjelasan apa yang sedang berlaku?
DeleteHarap penjelasannya munasabah.
DeletePengundi yang tidak berkelayakan harus disingkirkan dari senarai.
ReplyDeleteThe EC harus memastikan senarai yang bersih.
DeleteSelagi senarai tidak bersih, PRU tidak mungkin bersih.
ReplyDeletePerkara ini sememangnya tidak patut berlaku. Mungkin ada kesilapan teknikal dalam pendaftaran SPR.
ReplyDeleteSPR perlu menyelesaikan mengenai masalah seperti ini. Pengundi yang meragukan juga perlulah disiasat bagi memastikan mereka benar-benar layak mengundi.
ReplyDeleteHow can we trust the credibility and effectiveness of the EC when this kind of problem happen again?
ReplyDeletepengundi kena kasi pindah kekawasan lain ka atau memang pengundi sudah berpaling tadah dari DAP??
ReplyDeletetidak heran juga ba kalau rakyat Sabah terutamanya penyokong2 Jimmy Wong berpaling tadah.. siapa la yang mau bagi undi dengan pemegang sijil anak negeri palsu?
