KUCHING: The chairman of PKR Sarawak Baru Bian has blasted the Election Commission for being “negligent and irresponsible” in not printing more forms to register voters in Sarawak. “For the past two weeks, you cannot get forms anywhere in Sarawak from the Election Commission.
“This is negligent and irresponsible not to print enough forms to register voters,” he said at a press conference yesterday.
He said he had been told by two non-governmental organisations and others involved in the ongoing registration exercise that there are no more forms left in the state.
The Election Commission told them they are still waiting for the forms to be sent from Kuala Lumpur.
“Please print more forms as more and more people are politically conscious of their rights to register themselves as voters.
“Why should the Election Commission hinder them from registering as voters?” he asked.
DCM lying
On remarks made by deputy chief minister Alfred Jabu regarding native customary rights (NCR) land, Baru hoped that the government should carry out both the perimeter survey of communal native land as well as the individual properties and give them titles.
Jabu had said the procedures and system to survey and gazette NCR land had been in place for more than 30 years but it was the inability of the people to agree on the demarcation of their individual lots that had made it difficult.

If beEND govt cannot undertake to do even a simple job like supplying of forms, how are the rakyat to trust them with the administration of the nation.
Sarawakians, by the thousand should lodge police report. At the same time, file in a complaint to suhakam on beEND.s dirty game which will deprive you of your individual's right.
Do not sit still. Something has to be done. Now. Show them the People's Might and Power.

What for? the penans probably cannot read and write.
And even if you register, newly registered voters are not allowed to vote.(remember 1999?)
The election commission's job is to retain status quo in terms of leadership in this country. otherwise the chairman will lose his pension and perks.

This is downright cheating by deprivation of the constitutional rights of the people.
Is the state government so scared of losing the state election that they have to resort to such low-down means of breaking the law and giving lame excuses to justify their actions?
Play it fair, please!!!
