The proposal to allow Malaysians living overseas to vote during general elections has been rejected by the MCA, which announced today that these people are "out of touch" with the country.
Presenting the party's views at the parliamentary select committee on electoral reform, central committee member Ei Kim Hock said extending the vote to Malaysians residing abroad would be unreasonable as they receive "doubtful" information. "Voters residing overseas should not be allowed to vote. We view this seriously as those who reside abroad are out of touch and do not truly understand the situation in Malaysia. "We are doubtful over the kind of information they receive... The future of the nation should be with those who remain in the country," Ei said.
In their memorandum submitted to the committee, MCA said that what Malaysians overseas read about the country is “biased” and “wrong”. “They are getting bits and pieces of news from various sources to try to form a picture of what is happening in the country,” the memorandum read.
“My man didn’t explain it properly ” the MCA president told reporters after attending a Barisan Nasional BN supreme council meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre here
“They came on Wednesday evening to say there must be somebody representing MCA. So we picked one of the nine guys who was willing to go ” he added Dr Chua clarified that the MCA did not agree with overseas voting purely because it presented a “logistical nightmare” as considerable resources would have to be devoted to ensure its success.
Just reading the statement of the MCA president and you will see how little they care about cleaning up the electoral process! OUT of 9 top fellows from MCA only 1 was willing to go and that one turns out to be such an idiot that he managed to get scolded by his MCA boss that is an idiot himself! How can we trust MCA to be our government?!?
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk V. K. Liew told the Dewan Rakyat Tuesday that this method had its weaknesses and could pose problems if implemented.
He said that due to the high mobility rate, most Malaysians now did not live at the address originally registered in their identity card and did not register the address change.
Another idiot from the government that does not realize that this problems exist weather there is automatic registration or normal registration.
Does the stupid minister thinks that you mobility rate drops after you register yourself normally??
I wonder if the Minister can differentiate the difference between voter registration and updating of addresses?!?
PKR had exposed more documents to show that the NFC had paid RM9.8 million for a unit of the One Menerung condominium in upmarket Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.
Do they leave the money given to the NLMC in a current account that does not bring big returns while waiting for the satellite farms... or do they invest the money and reap some returns while waiting for the delays to be overcome?” said Khairy.
Khairy should tell us which bank would lend you a project facility, and later allow you to draw down and utilise/invest the said funds for something that has got no connection whatsoever with that project
The National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) was able to withdrawn its RM250 million soft loan from the government even before a contract with the government was signed.
This was revealed by Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairperson Azmi Khalid (right) after the committee interviewed several Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Ministry officers today.
“In this case, the money was disbursed in 2009 into a special account which needs the (relevant) ministry’s approval, to be withdrawn for the company’s operations.
“But only after the money was disbursed (in 2009) was the contract signed a year later in 2010,” Azmi told reporters.
I bet this NFC scandal will go unpurnish along with many other serious corruption scandal.
Meanwhile Teoh Beng Hock murderer still goes unpurnish. Just note the MACC investigation related to Teoh Beng Hock was for around RM2,000.00!!!!
This is Malaysian Justice for you!!
