PETALING JAYA, May 3 — Parties facilitating the alleged transfer of foreigners from Sabah and Sarawak to immigration depots to vote on May 5 are committing “treason”, Bersih co-chairman Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan has said.

She also said that all those who defraud the system are defrauding all legitimate voters and that they should face the full force of the law when found to be guilty.

“This, in our view, is treason. There’s no other way of putting it,” she said at a news conference here today.

“It’s effectively stealing the election away from the rakyat.”
