EC: Special team on why indelible ink was not indelible




KUALA LUMPUR: The Election Commission (EC) has set up a special team to find out why the indelible ink used to mark voters in the 13th general election could be easily removed, said EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof on Tuesday. He said the team would look into, among others, the ingredients of the ink, the Health Ministry's conditions and how the ink was applied on the finger.

The team would also examine the outcome of tests conducted before and after the ink was brought into Malaysia, he said in a statement.

For the first time in a general election in Malaysia, the EC used the indelible ink to mark voters in the May 5 general election to prevent possible repeat voting, but received flak from political parties, electoral candidates and voters when it was learnt that the ink could be washed away easily.
Abdul Aziz said the team was expected to complete the investigation in a month.

He also said that the EC viewed with concern the distribution of video recordings, text and pictures on social websites and news portals and in the print media on all kinds of baseless accusations and allegations directed at the EC.

He said the allegations included claims of foreigners voting in the general election, blackouts at vote tallying centres, three ballot boxes missing from the vote-tallying centre in Putrajaya, ballot boxes airdropped from helicopters to ensure victory of certain candidates.

Further allegations were EC vehicles bringing ballot boxes to tallying centres to manipulate the election result, EC staff asking candidates' agents to sign the Borang 14 (Form 14) before the counting of votes had been completed and transporting of phantom voters from Sabah and Sarawak to vote in the peninsula.

Abdul Aziz said all these allegations were baseless and were aimed at confusing the people.
As such, he added, the EC had lodged a police report through its secretary, Datuk Kamaruddin Mohamed Baria, in a move to maintain its good name and integrity as an independent body under the Federal Constitution.

He also said that the EC would continue with its explanation of issues pertaining to the 13th general election, through the media and other means, to present the people with the correct information.

"The EC advises the people to filter the information that they garner from the social media. If necessary, they can contact the EC to get valid information on any issue," he said.

  2. Dakwat Kekal Akan Terus Diguna Dengan Penambahbaikan

    Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) akan meneruskan penggunaan dakwat kekal pada pilihan raya umum ke-14 (PRU14) dengan melaksanakan beberapa penambahbaikan terutama dari segi kualiti dakwat.


    Timbalan Pengerusi SPR Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar berkata penggunaan dakwat kekal itu akan tetap dilaksanakan kerana ia diputuskan oleh Jawatankuasa Khas Parlimen dan dimaktubkan dalam undang-undang pilihan raya.

  3. "Kami akan kaji ramuan dakwat itu, serta meletakkan satu standard terhadap kualiti dakwat itu," katanya kepada pemberita selepas rancangan bual bicara Hello Malaysia yang dikelolakan Bernama TV, malam Selasa.

  4. Beliau berkata tindakan sesetengah pihak yang cuba memperbesarkan isu penggunaan dakwat kekal yang didakwa mudah luntur selepas dicalit tidak lebih kepada motif politik semata-mata.

    Wan Ahmad berkata penggunaan dakwat itu hanyalah untuk menghalang pengundi mengundi dua kali, namun jika dakwat di jari mereka hilang, ia tidak bermakna mereka dapat mengundi sekali lagi kerana asas utama yang dilihat oleh SPR ialah
    nama pengundi dalam daftar pemilih.

  5. "Masyarakat perlu faham kami (SPR) baru pertama kali menggunakan dakwat kekal dan sudah tentu terdapat sedikit kelemahan...kami telah lantik satu syarikat terkenal untuk menghasilkan dakwat untuk PRU13 yang mana syarikat itu
    turut menghasilkan dakwat kekal di negara-negara lain. Mungkin ada kelemahan daripada syarikat itu sendiri yang menyimpan dakwat terlalu lama.

    "Kami telah tempah 250,000 botol dakwat kekal pada PRU ini dan dua bulan sebelum pilihan raya umum diadakan kami simpan di lokap-lokap balai polis daerah untuk memastikan ia selamat.

    "Mungkin akibat disimpan terlalu lama kandungan dakwat telah menurun dan menjadi cair," katanya.

  6. Beliau turut mengkritik sesetengah pihak yang membasuh dakwat kekal dengan menggunakan bahan peluntur dan seterusnya memuat naik di laman sosial bagi tujuan menjatuhkan kredibiliti SPR.

    Mengenai gangguan bekalan elektrik semasa proses pengiraan undi, Wan Ahmad berkata tiada insiden sedemikian berlaku kerana beliau telah mengesahkan dengan semua Pegawai Pengurus (RO).
