The World That I See - My View

Complaints about vote-buying in the heated run-up to the Hulu Selangor by-election are being investigated, said Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Abu Kassim Mohamed. He told reporters in Parliament today that the commission is already investigating allegations and counter-accusations by both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat that voters were bribed. Asked whether the act of dishing out cash to the electorate could be considered bribery , Abu Kassim said: "We are not here to interpret the law. Whoever complains about it, we will investigate. If any parties complain, then it is our function and job under the law to look at it." Narrowly-defeated Pakatan Rakyat candidate Zaid Ibrahim referred to the by-election last Sunday as the ' dirtiest and most corrupt ' . BN, similarly, has accused Pakatan of engaging in the same, paying voters RM200 each and distributing groceries. Zaid ( right ), who lost to BN's P Kamalanathan by 1,725 vot...

Selangor exco Elizabeth Wong lodged a police report early this morning at the Kuala Kubu Bahru district police station against what she claimed were attempts to bar voters from two Orang Asli villages from voting at the Hulu Selangor by-election tomorrow. In her report, the Bukut Lanjan state assembly member ( left, in white shirt ) claimed that she had received complaints from Orang Asli friends that they were not able to enter their villages by 'gangsters' who were blocking the entrances to their settlements. It was claimed that an individual who had tried to take a photo of the barricade was punched by one of the men blocking a village entrance. Wong said that she had identified the two villages barricaded as Kampung Orang Asli Kirling and Kampung Orang Asli Pertak. She added that she believes the blockade was meant to prevent the Orang Asli from going out to cast their ballots. There have been indications that significant sections of the Orang Asli community fa...

MAGESWARI KUALA LUMPUR: The Court of Appeal has set the date for Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s appeal to recuse the judge in his sodomy trial even before he filed his petition of appeal.
