Got an interesting mail today. It says:

Proof that Mukhriz Mahathir, son of Mahathir Mohammad, cheated in the 2008 Malaysian General Election !!

Mukhriz Mahathir ran for the P5 Jerlun parliamentarian seat at Kedah. SPR officially announced that Mukhriz Mahathir won with a 2205 vote majority.

But there’s a catch - In the P5 Jerlun parliamentarian race, 99.85% of the 37,297 voters turned out to vote !!

Hard to believe? You bet it is !! According to SPR’s official result (available at http://pru12.spr.gov.my/spr/ )

of the 37,297 voters, 37,242 came out to vote.Put it another way - of the 37,297 voters, only 55 voters have failed to vote !

Yes, I kid you not ! You can go check out the SPR official result yourself ! The 99.85% turnout rate is ABSOLUTELY THE HIGHEST of all the 222 parliamentarian races in the election.

An Apology from Susan Loone

Dear Susan Loone,

I refer to your Blog posting dated 11th March 2008 entitled ‘Mukhriz Mahathir cheated in elections’?

It is regrettable that you had sought in your blog to libel and defame an upright citizen and newly elected member of Parliament. Mukhriz Mahathir is a candidate that has duly complied with the due process of the law and fought within the true spirit of democracy that you claim to uphold.

I find it offensive that without due regard to any integrity you have explicitly implied that this candidate is dishonest and guilty of electoral fraud.

Perhaps, if maybe of interest to you that what the Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya or SPR publishes on its website, or any omission thereof or erroneous entries are not within the control of any of the electoral candidates.

Mere investigation would have meant justice for all. I have taken the liberty:-

Therefore, in this dawn of a new era in Malaysian politics, an unreserved apology to the candidate and all affected should and must be made.

Imran Imtiaz Shah Yacob
