In The STAR today (read a full article here), columnist P Gunasegaran wrote "if we cut by a sound as well as a chase, we will determine which all right-thinking Malaysians want giveaway as well as satisfactory elections so which they can elect a supervision of their choice though any one depriving them of which right by foul means". He goes upon to propose 10 ways which a EC can promote giveaway as well as satisfactory elections as well as be seen to be we do so. Here have been his 10 suggestions with my comments in red.
1. Keep electoral rolls open for inspection during all times. Not usually should a EC do this though it should shortly reply to as well as give explanations for anomalies which have been brought to its attention. This should be finished publicly. (I determine fully. There is no reason because electoral rolls cannot be kept open all times. By keeping it open longer, some-more anomalies can be identified as well as actions taken to remove them. There is no doubt which a electoral hurl is huge - though we got to begin somewhere. BTW, we goal we guys do not confuse a electoral rolls with a swiss rolls or a spring rolls)
2. Inform those whose constituencies have been altered promptly. If for whatever reason, a person's constituency has been changed, then a EC contingency surprise a constituent rught divided as well as insist clearly a need for a change. That will assistance transparent any confusion immediately.(I agree. This equates to some-more wo! rk for a EC though we consider it is usually great have use of which we surprise people if we pierce them to a brand new area. This will go a prolonged approach in avoiding accusations which EC is manipulating a roll. Personal note to EC : we know of two guys whom we should pierce to Sepilok).
3. Ensure which all parties continue to have a right to comply a choosing process. Observers from all parties contingency always have a right to have their representatives present in a polling counter to safeguard which elections have been held according to a law. Under no resources contingency such rights be taken away.(I determine fully. Assuming parties mean domestic parties. And we pretence he meant polling hire rather a a polling booth).
4. Count ballots in a polling booths in a participation of observers. This is a most appropriate approach to safeguard which there is no seasoned mixture of list boxes as counting can begin as shortly as polling is over in a participation of observers. This is how it has been finished in a past as well as there is no need to shift it.(Sokong. we was not aware a have use of was changed. BTW, was a have use of changed?. BTW, need to remember which most Malaysians have been not very great during a mathematics anymore).
5. Open polling of armed forces as well as military crew to observation. Even if polling takes place in security areas, observers contingency be authorised in to guard a polling routine to safeguard which there is no vigour put upon them by their superiors to opinion en-bloc for a particular candidate. (Sokong. Same as item 4 above. Observers should be allow! ed. It i s to a EC's advantage)
6. Have safeguards to safeguard postal ballots have been tamper-proof. This will entail amongst others sealing list boxes in a participation of eccentric observers as well as opening them in a participation of alternative eccentric observers too. (Agreed. This is Safeguard 101. Isn't this being finished now?. BTW The sealing should be finished regulating correct material. Do not have use of KY Jelly)
7. Allow choosing observers from accredited agencies. If a elections have been giveaway as well as fair, what's there to hide? Let any one from anywhere come as well as comply a elections as well as see for themselves how satisfactory as well as giveaway it is. (A bit tricky here. What is an accredited agency?. Is there an UN group which monitors elections?. Guna's matter about letting any one from anywhere come as well as comply elections is a bit hazy. What does "come as well as observe" mean? If someone just sits outside a polling station, which chairman competence not essentially be means to comply anything though prolonged reserve of voters. What can a observers do? How much access should they have? If Kim Jong II as well as his merrymen from North Korea want to be observers during a elections, should we concede them? What if Idi Amin's grandfather wants to come as well as be an spectator as well? Boleh ke?. we am fine with outmost observers though we need some criteria as who qualifies to be an spectator as well as what he/she can/cannot do as well as what arrange of access he/she has)
8. Move towards involuntary voter registration. Considering which each adult Malaysian has an! electro nic i(??) dentity card, it is irregular because involuntary voter registration based upon a MyKad is nonetheless to be implemented. (Agreed. we do not understand because it is not being done. Perhaps a EC should explain)
9. Ensure satisfactory media time for all parties. Considering which most mainstream media is dominated by parties accessible to a statute government, it is required to safeguard which there is fairer choosing coverage so which Malaysians can opinion upon a true as well as satisfactory illustration of a facts. (This is very trickly as well as we am not certain if it can be implemented. We need to first define what is mainstream media. We need to define what is satisfactory as well as what is free. If a media is free, can we force it to be fair? How about all a brand new media, stuff upon a internet, etc? Read my previous article "The giveaway as well as satisfactory media isn't underneath my bed")
10. Lengthen a campaign period. The campaign duration should be lengthened to during least a month so which vital issues have been given sufficient time for a correct airing as well as a open have sufficient time to have up their minds over who they want to opinion for. (I thought both BN as well as Pakatan have been already campaigning everyday - because do they need some-more time?. If we have been morally we do your work over a years, we unequivocally do not need to campaign so much. The complaint is most of these porcupines lay upon their butts all year around as well as usually turn alive tighten to elections. we contend give them limit fourteen days.Note : campai! gningcontributes to climate shift a lot of prohibited air is released during a campaign period)
I additionally determine with Gunasegaran which "an choosing is not just about processes though about certainty too.The Malaysian open as well as a international community contingency have a certainty which they can rest upon a choosing results. If for any reason which certainty is lacking, then it is up a EC to take measures to safeguard which certainty returns. The usually approach it can do which is to take a right actions as well as be all transparent about them".
I am certain a EC is trying to urge its governance as well as strengthen its processes as well as procedures. It needs to try even harder. The EC additionally needs to urge a approach it communicates to a people - we clarity which their messages have been not transparent as well as coherent as well as have been not reaching a sufficient people.
Monyet King additionally says
Some morons from BN claim which a control of a elections is already perfect - which it is patently not. Some Pakatan dungus claim which it is a total mutilate - which it is patently not.
We have a pretty great complement in place (otherwise Pakatan could not have won so most seats as well as PAS means to maintain Kelantan since a time of a dinosaurs. BN has additionally lost Sabah in a past). The challenge prior to us is to in cold blood as well as continuously urge a system. So a 10 points suggestions upon top of as well as a 22 recommendations by a PSC upon Electoral Reform have been great star! ting poi nts.
One of a most appropriate thing which we can do is to inspire everybody we know to register as a voter as well as come out to opinion upon choosing day. The greater a turnout, a some-more deputy will a formula be as well as a smaller a commission of errors (statistically speaking). So instead of sitting upon your butt as well as whining, have certain we get everybody we know to go as well as vote.
