Indelible ink: Health Ministry exposes the LIARS in EC chairman, deputy chairman

Indelible ink: Health Ministry exposes the LIARS in EC chairman, deputy chairman
The Health minister has refuted a claim by Election Commission chief Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof and UMNO information chief Ahmad Maslan that the 'indelible' ink used on voters in the recent polls had its silver nitrate content lowered for health reason.

The low silver nitrate in the ink had been cited as reason why the ink could disappear from voters' fingers almost immediately after being applied.

Asked whether there was indeed a medical reason for loweing silver nitrate, Health minister Dr S Subramaniam said: “I’m not sure, you must ask the Election Commission that question. If you ask whether they have asked us for any report on that, I don’t think so."
No consultation
Subramaniam also said there had be no consultation with his ministry for a report on the use of the indelible ink from the medical perspective.

“If they had asked us and we had given a report, it is very different, but I don't think so...”
Aziz had claimed that the EC obtained a letter from the Health ministry warning against excessive silver nitrate in the indelible ink which could lead pose risks to kidney as well as cancer.

While Maslan had claimed it was a last minute decision to lower the level of silver nitrate for 'health reasons'.

“(This is) the first time I am hearing of this,” said Subramaniam when pointed out the claims by Aziz and Maslan.
