Anwar shows more shocking evidence pointing to electoral fraud by the Election Commission

UPDATE3 VIDEO INSERTED Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim revealed fresh evidence that pointed to electoral fraud by the Election Commission, showing a discarded envelope that is used specifically for containing postal ballots and which he said was found strewn along with others at a "secret hiding place" in an industrial park in Kajang.

Such material, said the 64-year-old Opposition Leader, was classified and should be made available only to the eligible postal voters and not to the public. He also showed pictures of the rundown and shabby warehouse

"Some were found in the premises, some in the dump... this is a follow up of my last week's press conference that election papers, documents and boxes meant for Putrajaya stopped by EC transport and brought to this place in Sungai Chua, not designated an official warehouse," Anwar told a press conference on Monday.

"Now after monitoring we have found the documents which is much more disturbing. Their answer is flimsy - 'we have the right to keep the documents anywhere we want'. They have stopped short of giving a clear response and also a response based on the electoral roll where 42 of the postal voters are actually police and armed forces personnel but are designated as having the nationality of Bangladesh, Indonesian and Philippines and these we have given clear evidence (to them) of that."

Overseas voters concerned their votes might be 'cheated' away

Malaysia is due to hold its 13th general election on May 5, and many observers including the BERSIH movement for free and fair polls have expressed fears that GE13 might end up the "dirtiest" in the nation's history. Postal votes have long been a huge source of electoral fraud, as most of these are military and police personnel and vulnerable to 'coercion' to vote for Prime Minister Najib Razak's Umno-BN coalition.

Postal voting began on April 28. Recent data from the EC shows there are 273,819 postal voters comprising 163,017 from the military and 110,802 from the police. There are also 2,900 absentee voters plus 6,360 overseas voters, who were given the right to vote for the first time in the nation's history. About 1,700 Malaysians in Australia were among the first to do so, surprising officials at the voting stations with their unexpectedly high turnout.

Last week, Anwar had revealed how an EC van had diverted a shipment of ballot boxes covered in "big square polyester bags" that was due to be sent to the EC's headquarters in Putrajaya to a shop lot in the Kajang industrial park instead.

"We believe these polyester big square bags, ballot boxes, meant for Putrajaya headquarters were stopped by EC Pajero and instructed to divert to Jalan SC2, Sungai Chua, Kajang. These are polyester big square bags diverted on 8 April 2013, why such a dubious manner, the EC has to immediately explain. These ballot boxes were covered as polyester big square bags meant for Election Commission headquarters were diverted midway at the toll to the industrial site Jalan SC2, Sungai Chua. These are questions that the EC must immediately explain," Anwar had told reporters on Thursday.
