民主行动党桂和区州议员兼霹雳州社青团团长黄家和律师于2010年1月21日(星期四)在怡保所发表的文告:

(怡保21日讯)民主行动党桂和区州议员黄家和律师今天发表文告,形容马来西亚选举委员会扩大邮寄选票范围的的建议,如同开民主倒车。

也是霹雳州社青团团长的黄家和表示,邮寄选票的不透明在近年来已经多次受到质疑,而怡保东区以及桂和州选区在2008年大选前的邮寄选票人数突然飙升就是一个例子。在今天废除邮寄选票的声浪不断的时候,选举委员会不但没有努力修改这个不完善的制度,反而计划将医生、护士以及记者纳入邮寄选票范围内,令人吃惊!

“邮寄选票可以说是国阵的定期存款,国阵过去多届的大选中在一些选区屡翻依靠邮寄选票过关,选举委员会这一次建议的目的高度令人质疑,是为了协助国阵确保在来届大选中获胜。”

黄氏表示,以军人以及警察选票为主的邮寄选票在一些选区期决定性的作用,而邮寄选票当中也包括军人以及警察的家眷,这些非居住在选区的选民将会成为胜负的关键,间接地剥夺了当地选民选出本身属意议员的权力。

Press Statement by YB Wong Kah Woh, State Assemblymen for Canning and Perak DAPSY Chief in Ipoh on 21.01.2010:-



It is shocked to learn that the Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya Raya is contemplating to widen the scope of coverage for Undi Pos and to include doctors, nurses and reporters as part of those who are eligible to vote by post.

This is an attempt by SPR to ensure the victory for Barisan Nasional as Undi Pos had all along been proven as the safe deposits for Barisan Nasional in certain areas.

The transparency of Undi Pos is highly questionable. There were doubts in the process of demarcating the number of voters and the boundaries, sending out of the ballot papers, the casting of ballot papers and the counting of the ballot papers. Prior to the 2008 election, the number of Undi Pos in Ipoh Timur and Canning had increased dramatically and drastically without the knowledge of the incumbent DAP’s representatives.

The SPR had not taken any initiatives to improve the system and to recapture the People’s losing confidence, and yet, they have now come out with this new ruling suggesting a higher number of undi Pos.

Can SPR furnish the Rakyat with a satisfactory explanation over the motive behind this move?
