Isn't it a shame that Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman thinks that by making cosmetic changes, the Election Commission will bring about clean and fair elections?

he people have been consistent with their demands. There must be no special privileges given to Umno and BN. The commission must play an independent role to safeguard the integrity of the electoral process. You cannot have two sets of rules.

The police and our soldiers go by rigid regulations - that is to obey without question their superiors who, by the way, are appointed by Umno. It is meaningless when senior officers are looking over their men when voting. Why must their families also cast their vote on that day?

To avoid any manipulation, we demand that postal voting be abolished. These personnel and their families can easily cast their votes on polling day.

Abdul Rashid, you seem to be blind to the following:

ADS

Access to media (electronic and print) - What is your stand on this?

No prior notice or announcement of the election dates

Campaign period is too short

The use of government machinery during election period

The electoral roll has not been cleaned

Your superficial changes will not help. You and your team are still stooges of the Umno and BN. If you are a true follower of Islam Hadhari, do what is necessary. Set an example for the future generations to follow. You could look for inspiration from your counterparts in Thailand and India.

It is yellow fever today and it is very, very contagious. Look out EC!
