KUALA LUMPUR--The ICT industry regulator has instructed local TV stations to remove a broadcast of a public service announcement encouraging all Malaysians to exercise their right to vote in the next elections, a local news portal has reported. According to The Malaysian Insider, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) earlier this week directed local broadcasters not to use a video produced by local musician, Pete Teo, just days after it was first aired on Sept. 16. The report cited an industry source to say that the MCMC e-mailed both Astro and Media Prima, the country's two largest broadcasters, instructing them that the video clip should not be aired because "Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah speaks about the country having 'many problems'" and it features opposition leaders.

Serious flaws in Ledang electoral roll

Image
Johor DAP has claimed to have found thousands of registered voters in the Ledang parliamentary constituency who have either incomplete or no information at all in the databases of the Election Commission (EC) and National Registration Department (NRD). They include 417 voters whose names are missing from the NRD database. This latest flaw was exposed at a press conference called in Muar today by Bakri MP Er Teck Hwa (centre in photo) , who was accompanied by Johor DAP secretary Tan Chen Choon and Youth leader Ee Chin Li. They said a 17-member task force formed by the party had detected several flaws in the electoral roll of Ledang, a semi-rural constituency with some 60,000 voters: A total of 1,824 voters have no record in the online database of both the EC and NRD. A voter is listed as a permanent resident in the NRD database. A total of 2,195 voters have no address in the EC's database. The addresses of 35,064 or 59.14 percent of the voters in the electoral roll are
