Just after several NGOs exposed some irregularities in the electoral list, the Election Commission (EC) was so quick and efficient in having all those records erased from the electoral list and on the next day, the EC officials came out to the press denying that such irregularities never even exist and that of those NGOs' claims were baseless.
Well, we really hope that those NGOs who exposed these electoral irregularities did print out all those wonders and keep them in their file as a record.
We wish to remind the EC and its officials, there's no point for you to deny whatever irregularities that had existed in the electoral list which you are supposed to be responsible of maintaining and housekeeping it.
Are you telling us that you are so clean and efficient? If yes, why all these exist in the first place? Why did Bersih 2.0 exist then? Why did our people rallied to support Bersih 2.0 then? We had nothing to do? We all have an important objective, that is to ensure that EC comes out clean and transparent.
In order to regain the trust from our people, EC must first abolish postal voting system, allow our overseas Malaysians to vote via our embassies worldwide, implement the use of indelible ink, allow a total of 21 days campaigning in general elections, free and fair access to medias, stop corruptions and vote buying and eliminate dirty politics that are undermining opposition leaders.
The problem is, will EC able to give our people all these? Certainly not. Unless a new government take its office and have the entire structure of the EC revamped and put it under the direct jurisdiction of the parliament instead of the prime minister's department.
Only then will the people return their trusts to the EC. It's okay, we are very patient but do not think that we will forever. We have our limits too!
