Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya hari ini mengumumkan rakyat Malaysia di luar negara boleh mengundi melalui pos dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang.

Bercakap dalam satu taklimat kepada pemberita hari ini, pengerusi SPR Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof berkata suruhanjaya itu sedang menyediakan pindaan undang-undang untuk membolehkan perkara itu dilaksanakan.

NONEKatanya, rakyat Malaysia itu dibenarkan mengundi melalui pos dengan syarat mereka perlu pulang ke tanah air sekurang-kurangnya sekali dalam tempoh lima tahun sebelum parlimen dibubarkan.

Tindakan itu bagi memastikan pengundi tersebut mengetahui mengenai situasi politik dengan baik sebelum mengundi, katanya.

Abdul Aziz berkata SPR akan mengemukakan pindaan berkenaan dalam persidangan Parlimen pada September sekiranya perkara itu diperlukan.

Sekiranya pindaan perlembagaan perlu dibuat, sistem berkenaan akan dalam dilaksana menjelang September, katanya.

Namun, ia boleh dilaksanakan lebih awal sekiranya tidak memerlukan pindaan undang-undang, kata Abdul Aziz lagi.

SPR harus membetulkan kelemahan yang ada dalam pengurusan mereka.

Bujang Senang berkata...

Jika kita lihat pun sememangnya SPR telah mencuba yang terbaik untuk membetulkannya. Sehinggakan jawatankuasa khas ditubuhkan untuk membetulkan kelemahan tersebut.

The Election Commission (EC) said that only 20,000 Malaysians abroad have registered as voters for the 13th General Election and not half a million as claimed by certain parties.

DorianG berkata...

EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar categorically denied the claim that more than 500,000 Malaysians overseas did not have the opportunity to register.

DorianG berkata...

He said the claim was baseless as the registration turn out at Malaysian representative offices worldwide did not match the alleged figure.

DorianG berkata...

Although it was rumoured that there are more than half a million Malaysians abroad are queuing to vote but the numbers who actually registered were much lower.

DorianG berkata...

Wan Ahmad said Wisma Putra records showed the overall number who registered at embassies abroad at about 20,000.

DorianG berkata...

He said the situation clearly proved that 'those' who were claimed to have registered were not interested in voting and can be described as an 'assumption' by certain interested parties.

DorianG berkata...

He also stressed that those who left the country for job opportunities were actually normal voters compared to diplomats and government officials who were duty bound and full-time students abroad.

DorianG berkata...

As Parliament had decided to allow them voting rights, he said the EC had discussed the matter with Wisma Putra and the Immigration Department to ensure only those who had returned home at least once in five years be eligible to vote.

DorianG berkata...

Wan Ahmad said upon registration, they must request for postal voting in order to vote in the general election.
