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

bgslah... dpt jg rakyat Malaysia di luar negara menunaikan tanggungjawab mereka.
Yang pegang dua kewarganegaraan tu berhak mengundi juga?
Macam mana SPR dapat pastikan tiada manipulasi dalam undian pos?
Mereka yang layak mengundi patut jalankan kewajipan mereka.
SPR harus membetulkan kelemahan yang ada dalam pengurusan mereka.
Jika kita lihat pun sememangnya SPR telah mencuba yang terbaik untuk membetulkannya. Sehinggakan jawatankuasa khas ditubuhkan untuk membetulkan kelemahan tersebut.
pulang sekali dalam tempoh lima tahun belum tentu mereka tahu apa2 perkembangan politik di Malaysia.. baik google saja kalau mau tahu apa2 perkembangan di Malaysia..
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.
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.
He said the claim was baseless as the registration turn out at Malaysian representative offices worldwide did not match the alleged figure.
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.
Wan Ahmad said Wisma Putra records showed the overall number who registered at embassies abroad at about 20,000.
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.
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.
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.
Wan Ahmad said upon registration, they must request for postal voting in order to vote in the general election.
