Letters from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to Kuala Kubu Bharu constituents whose existence are in question have raised DAP's suspicions there could be foul play in the coming general election.
Some householders in the Kuala Kubu Bharu state constituency, which BN won with a narrow 448-vote majority in 2008, have been receiving the personalised letters that also carry details of voters unfamiliar to them.
At a press conference in Petaling Jaya today, state DAP organising secretary Lau Weng San said the party was worried that irresponsible parties had been using certain addresses to register "phantom voters".
"We have detected 40 cases over the past month," said Lau, urging others with further information to come forward.
Lau showed three samples of such letters to Malay voters, sent to the addresses of Chinese households in Taman Pesara, to the press.

Third complaint
He said DAP believes that those voters have never stayed at the addresses stated. This, he added, was verified with a local community leader.
Since the houses were built in 1980, the occupants have always been Chinese families. No Malay family ever moved in," he said.
Lau, who is also the Bukit Tunku state assemblyperson, said Selangor BN coordinator Mohd Zin Mohamed owed the people an explanation.
He said efforts to detect more of such cases would go on for another two weeks before an official complaint is lodged with the Election Commission (EC).
Similar complaints were also raised last month, by Subang Jaya assemblyperson Hannah Yeoh and Rawang assemblyperson Gan Pei Nei.
