‘Stop sounding like a BN leader’

PKR's Rafizi Ramli tells Wan Ahmad Wan Omar to answer allegations of electoral fraud instead of being a spokesperson for the ruling party.
PETALING JAYA: Election Commission deputy chairman Wan Ahmad Wan Omar should stop making statements like a Barisan Nasional leader, said PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli today.
“He should focus on addressing the electoral fraud that happened during the general election such as the indelible ink fiasco and the blackouts. Leave political statements to people like [Home Minister] Ahmad Zahid Hamidi,” said Rafizi at a press conference today.
Also present were PKR vice president Fuziah Salleh and Sungai Petani MP Johari Abdul.
Yesterday, Wan Ahmad challenged PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim to boycott Parliament if he was disputing the general election results.
Several analysts have also called upon Anwar to stop the Black 505 rallies and focus his energy on strengthening the opposition and contribute to nation building.
Hurling brickbats at Wan Ahmad, Rafizi said that the EC official’s statements against Pakatan Rakyat only showed that the former was not impartial in his conduct.
“It is not his place to ask Anwar to boycott Parliament. Wan Ahmad can’t even get proper indelible ink but now he wants to meddle in parliamentary affairs,” said the Pandan MP.
On the academics’ statement, Rafizi urged them to attend the rallies to see how people are upset over the electoral fraud allegation.
“Get out of your offices and come to the rallies attended by the 51% who voted for Pakatan. If you are against it, you are part of the 47% minority,” he said.
Rafizi added that there can be no talk of nation building when the government in place was elected using fraudulent methods.
“We cannot continue in a situation where the majority questions the legitimacy of the current government. They want a solution to the electoral irregularities,” he said.
Bringing Malaysians closer
The PKR leader also said that the rallies have brought another positive outcome; bringing Malaysians together irrespective of race and religion.
Rafizi added that Malaysians felt a sense of belonging and togetherness like never before in the rallies, which had also helped fire up the mood for change.
“And I dare say that we are more successful in bringing Malaysians together compared to the 1Malaysia songs the government airs daily,” he said.
On the same note, Johari accused Wan Ahmad of being “more Umno than Umno itself.”
“I remember back in my student days in Universiti Malaya, a student forged his certificates to gain entry into the varsity.
“The university only found out about it after three years. Despite being a good student, he was expelled from the varsity.
“Similarly, we have a government which is elected into power through fraud. How is the EC going to address this?” he asked.
On the academics, Johari, who is also the organiser of the Black 505 rallies, said: “If they want us to stop, give us equal access in the media to air our grouses.”
