Ex-army man: I was ordered to vote for others

A former army personnel stepped forward today and told a PAS-organised press conference that he was involved in manipulating postal votes while in service under orders of a superior officer.

Nasir Mohamad, who identified himself only as having been "a clerk" at an army camp in Sandakan, Sabah, said the incident occurred during the general election of 1986.

NONE"I, along with another clerk, was ordered to open the (postal) votes bag ... (We) were ordered by a higher officer to open the votes bag, and (we were) ordered to mark the ballots.

"There were about 900 ballot papers including those meant for the army (personnel) and their spouses.

"I was told to divide (the votes) into two, (the other batch was handled by) my friend, whose name is Ayub Mat. He took more than 400 (ballots), I took 400.

"I was asked to vote according to my inclination," he told the press conference held at a hotel in Ampang this morning.

Nasir's claims mirror earlier allegations made by another former army personnel, now a PAS member, Abu Kassim then-ranked 'sargent' who admitted to having voted for other army personnel in two general elections.
