lawbreaking Election Commission?
Recent news about Bung Mokhtar, a Member of Parliament (or lawmaker) who pleaded guilty to breaking the law (unauthorized polygamy), and this letter in
Malaysiakini commenting on it http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/129909 (I actually typed Bung Mokhtar to check his name and it led me to it) have shown some people is outspoken in Parliament but did not pay much attention to its laws to ensure compliance himself.
Our specialist on elections, Wong Chin Huat, has shown how our Election Commission did not care two hoots about election laws when arbitrarily transferring 228 voters without proper compliance of its own law. This begs the question: can we trust the EC to conduct the elections? Or, if strictly applying the law, would the election results be declared null and void later?
Are we heading towards 'lebih kurang' standards of compliance?
