Election Commission chairperson Rashid Abdul Rahman said the cabinet did not approve the use of indelible ink during the March 8 general election.
"I was told that i was to take the responsibility for agreeing to it. It's not easy being EC chairperson. I took the whole rap over the year, "Rashid told reporters after a function today.
Rashid's comments further fueled speculations that the decision to scrap the use of indelible ink was a executive decision in light of whimsy excuses for the last minute U-turn in using the ink.
Last Year, the EC had agreed to use the ink in the 12th General Election to put to rest the claims of multiple voting. The plan was cancelled five days before the March 8 polling day.
A princely sum of RM2.4 millon for about 48,000 bottles of the ink was bought from india, but Rashid had to call off the move on claims, that were never substantiated, that elements of sabotage had been detected by police.
THIS IS WHAT I CALLED BULLSHIT !!! The Government passed the bill of 65 years old to 66 years old so that you can take responsibility for the election but you said now it's not easy being a EC chairperson. RESIGN LAAA !!! TUNGGU APA LAGI !!!
RM2.4 MILLION PAID FOR THE INK !!! Gone down to the drain for it !!! It's the Rakyat's money and the Rakyat's suffer !!!
Where are the sabotage had been detected by the police ?? NONE AT ALL !!!
You should resign and go holiday laa Mr.Rashid !!
THIS IS WHAT I CALLED MADNESS !!!
