EC head in disbelief over 'outside voters' claim

Election Commission (EC) chairperson Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof has questioned the claim that secret flights have been chartered to ferry “outside voters” into Selangor ahead of the 13th general election on Sunday.

“Huh? How can? I don’t believe it at all, that one could book flights and fly Sabahans or Sarawakians (to Peninsular Malaysia), or (peninsula) Malaysians to Sabah and Sarawak (like that)!” he exclaimed.

“But there are people who have transferred their address from one place to another because they have moved their house, and this is legal under the law.”

He was asked to respond to a claim by Pakatan Rakyat Selangor that Umno is flying in “outside voters”, including those from the military even though they already have access to postal voting.

Abdul Aziz was at the Police Training Centre in Kuala Lumpur this morning to observe the advance voting process by police personnel.
