The Pakatan coalition thought they would sail through the Permatang Pauh by-elections. When reality kicked in that it was not going to be a walk in the park, they resorted to their baseless dirty tactics. From Wan Azizah smearing onions around her eye to bring out tears to the phantom voters allegation, Pakatan brought out anything they could from their bag of tricks. I am surprised Rafizi Ramli has not come out and said electricity was cut in counting stations. Maybe he would soon, when he realizes 40% of Permatang Pauh has rejected them.
Rafizi claims he received two complaints with names of voters being sent to houses that have no such occupancy. “This is a case we have to highlight over and over again. The public deserves to know that dirty tactics will reign supreme tomorrow” he said prior to polling day.
The public sure knows your dirty tactic Rafizi, that you failed to garner more support with your puppet. Other Pakatanreps went on their knees to beg people working outstation to come back to Penang to vote. The hard core supporters did do so. A huge number did not however return to cast their ballots; a sign of perhaps being fed-up with Pakatan and their nonsense.
Banglas are being brought into the country to vote
Remember this soap opera Pakatan played in 2013? They claimed flights were booked and thousands of Bangladeshis were brought in to vote during the general election. Till today, Rafizi and co have not been able to substantiate their claims with any kind of evidence. Their ‘blackout’ allegations have been also proven to be a flop that they themselves eventually acknowledged their song was outplayed extensively, Rafizi's own bank of lies.
Election Commission (EC)
The EC chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof responded to Rafizi’s allegations and urged the complainants to record alleged names and MyKad numbers and report them to the commission. The EC chairman was honest enough to agree that there were incidences where some voters were not allowed to vote because someone else had already voted using their MyKad identity. However, he said the number is negligible, not more than 10. He added no reports were made to the EC directly about lost or missing Identity Cards.
It looks like common sense is not so common especially in cases of people like Rafizi. Now please do not come and say people are afraid to report because they do not want to he hustled by authorities. If that is your lame excuse, then stop whining because you are not addressing any problem and neither are you fixing it.
