‘BN not using Chong Wei’

BUTTERWORTH: The grand ceremony to welcome home Olympic silver medallist Lee Chong Wei in Bukit Mertajam on Wednesday in the midst of campaigning for the Permatang Pauh by-election has raised eyebrows here.

He was flown to the RMAF air base here in a private jet accompanied by Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob and then chauffeur-driven to his hometown in Berapit. Barisan Nasional candidate Arif Shah Omar Shah denied talk that the coalition was capitalising on Lee’s fame to fish for votes.

“It’s just a coincidence that he came back during the by-election. ***

“Since he had wanted to meet his family members in Berapit and Ismail Sabri was coming to Penang for functions, we decided to give him a proper escort to his hometown,” he said yesterday.[......]

Nazri: Postal voting to stay

[......]But Nazri said abolishing postal votes could also threaten national security as there would be no one left to protect the country if soldiers were given leave to return home to vote.

“And for those working abroad, their voting rights, rights enshrined in the Federal Constitution, would be denied if we actually abolish the postal voting system. So we are sticking to the system,” he reiterated.

He also rebutted Loh’s claim that the rising number of election petition filed against the Elections Commission reflected flaws in the system.

“Nothing’s wrong with the nation’s voting system”, Nazri said.

“I don’t think so. To me, the fact that petitioners are able to file their complaints reflects the fertility of our country’s democracy. But the law is supreme and only the law can decide whether or not the petitions filed are valid or otherwise,” he added.

Still, when asked by another legislator Bung Mokhtar Radin (BN - Kinabatangan), on how the government planned to improve the postal voting system, Nazri could only say, “That one I hope you can give recommendations on how to improve the postal voting system.”
