Unknown voters registered at Kg Pandan houses


A jump of more than 300 voters in Kampung Pandan in four years has raised concerns over their legitimacy as several house owners claim these people are not known to the residents there.

House owners in the area, some who have lived there for more than 40 years, are not even aware of the existence of these voters, state excutive councillor in charge of housing, building management and squatters Iskandar Abdul Samad said today.

NONE"Some of these people inherited the properties from their parents and they haven't heard of the other voters registered at their addresses," Iskandar (left in picture) said.
He cited examples of three streets in Kampung Pandan with the highest numbers of "doubtful" voters. One house on Lorong Kemajuan 1 lists 21 voters in 2011, a rise of 20 since 2007.

Similarly, another house on Lorong Cantik 4 had eight registered voters in 2007 but this jumped to 43 voters in the master electoral list for 2011.
"We see this as an attempt to increase voter bases to bring down Pakatan Rakyat's rule in Selangor," he told reporters.
'Systematic plan to transfer voters'

"This is one evidence of a systematic plan to transfer voters in constituencies in Selangor," Iskandar added.

Also present at the media conference today was an occupant of a house who has lived in Kampung Pandan since birth.

Business operator Mohd Fauzi Arifin, 26, said that there are four people he does not know registered as voters at his address, 39, Lorong Kemajuan 1.

Mohd Badrul Shah Mohd Shah (MyKad number 620404-10-6045) and Nur Hayati Abd Hamid (790421-14-5136) are two of the four unknown people registered as voters using his address.

"In 2007, only one person was registered as a voter at my house, who is my father. Now, there are four other people we don't know of," Fauzi said.

According to Iskandar, his officers went house-to-house to verify the details of the voters in the list following the sudden jump in numbers.

"The addresses used to register these phantom voters were chosen probably because it is occupied by the elderly, who might not know how to check on the number of voters registered at their address," he said.

Iskandar urged the Election Commission to investigate the matter and added that a memorandum on the matter would be submitted to the commission soon.
