According to its deputy president, Datuk Eric Majimbun and vice president , Datuk Chua Soon Bui, SAPP has facts and information on ducious voters in Sabah.
Speaking to reporters yesterday, Eric said he had information on more than 20 people whose home address is at Lon Pond in Kimanis but their voting districts are in Sepanggar, his constituency and Sandakan.
This could not be so because the Election Commission (EC) had emphasized that voters could only be those from a locality, he stressed.
“So if the government is really serious about reforming the electoral roll, then it must form the select committee and not just talk about it. I have had experience before with the Integrity Select Committee where we had so many meetings, findings, but at the end of the day, nothing was done,” he said.
Chua said that SAPP would be writing to the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the the House to offer its services to be included in the select committee.
She however said that SAPP was of the opinion that the select committee was just an election gimmick because of the Bersih rally and public worries on how transparent, just and fair the country’s election system is.
“People have now shown their sentiments to the government, that’s why it is making this move. In fact I myself have brought the issue of ‘unclean’ electoral roll answer given through the Prime Minister’s Department was that they would look into it,” she said.
