Today is the last day of the election campaign. I did my level best in my walkabouts campaign in a few areas in the Seputeh and Kinrara constituencies – as we near the final hours of the campaign period.
At about 4pm, when I was resting at my Kinrara office, I was informed by a journalist that it is suspected that BN is sending “phantom” voters to go back to vote in Kelantan. That they were gathered at the car park opposite the Hockey Stadium at Bukit Jalil. I then went there with my assistant and a foreign journalism student.
I was really surprised to see all the tents that has been set up by Barisan Nasional at the car park there. There was a card with the name of a Parliamentary constituency placed on top of each tent, like Pasir Puteh, Kubang Kerian, Pengkalan Chepa etc. There are blue uniformed workers in each tent, and most of them mainly Malays,qued up at each tent to
register. I met some reporters there and I told them that I suspected this is a phantom voters shifting exercise.
I then sat with a woman with two kids. She told me she was from Pengkalan Chepa. She showed me and to reporters an evelope containing RM200 that she had collected from the counter. The press then took photos of her and me. She was a bit hesitant to be photographed but then we assured her that her full face would not be published in the media.
I told her that I know the former PAS MP for Pengkalan Chepa, I said he sat near to me in the Dewan Rakyat. I told her who I was and she looked so delighted to meet me personally. She said she came to know about this registration exercise through word of mouth.
While we were chit-chating at the car park, a Malay man came to take our photo from our back. After that another Malay man approached my assistant and told him that he could not take photos of their tents anymore. I then told my assistants and the press that I got to go as I was wearing DAP Wanita T-shirt, the longer I stay the more trouble I will create for the journalists in carrying out their duties.
I told Dr Dzulkifli from PAS about what was going on. He asked me to keep the evidence.
Two days ago, Najib asked the people in Kelantan to give BN a chance to rule that state for a term. His statement amused me as this was what the DAP told the voters during Tanjong 3. It also indicates how desparately BN wants to take over Kelantan.
Good God, I could never imagine that BN can be so blatant in openly attempting to bribe” voters. It is really an eye-opener for me. I felt heavy in my heart and of course by now, you would have guessed what will be topic of my ceramah for tonight.
Those busses are free ride provided by UMNO for kelantanese to go back to Kelantan to vote…
they are not phantom voters…
buses carry people…not ghost..
BN leaders learn a lot from last election.. good for them..
cheers!
