Islamist party PAS has claimed to have found more than 1,000 permanent residence (PR) holders in Selangor alone who have been included in the electoral roll of eligible voters, strengthening assertions that the problem may be more than a case of mere 'technical negligence' by the National Registration Department.
Having identified the presence of foreigners in the list of eligible voters for Selangor, the state PAS Youth's elections-monitoring body urged members in other states to scrutinise the supplementary electoral rolls prepared by the Election Commission (EC) in their areas for more of such irregularities.
“In Selangor, there are about 1,100 names of permanent residents against which objections have been raised by the state PAS body, and it is hoped that those in other states can do similar work,” said the wing's elections department director Mohd Sany Hamzan in a statement.
Yesterday, Federal Territory PAS had claimed to have encountered 52 such cases of PR-holders being listed as voters when filing complaints with the Federal Territory EC.
Just as Malaysiakini discovered with one PR-holder by the name of'Mismah', Titiwangsa PAS division secretary Hedzer Ibrahim said the 52 PR-holders had by 3pm been categorised as Malaysian citizens.
