My friends during the Election Commission have been laughing their heads off as well as rolling on the floor during the DAP's idea of "election transparency". There will be the lot of pisang as well as other offerings over Friday prayers today, for sure. For years now, the politicians in DAP, Pakatan as well as the NGO Bersih have made the EC their punching bag, accusing them of all sorts of unhandy in conducting the country's elections. It's the modus operandi of the Opposition - discredit the Government by discrediting the EC as well as the electoral process. Anwar Ibrahim as well as Ambiga S. have trafficked far as well as wide to discuss it unfamiliar governments about how "dirty" Malaysia's inhabitant elections were.
So the implausible screw-up during the DAP's celebration polls, which conveniently saw the "election" of the unique Malay, came as the great New Year's present to my EC friends. The DAP can explain to be transparent, naked, holier than thou, whatever ... as prolonged as they bow down as well as confess they have been so unhandy during organizing their own elections.
Not many hold it was an honest, foolish mistake, though. Spreadsheet error, my foot! They suspect something some-more sinister.
And can you censure them? Obviously, the actuality which the DAP's recent choosing rejected undisguised all 8 Malay candidates for the top cabinet had hurt the party's picture large time. Despite the explain by Zairil Khir Johari which it was "no large deal", the absence of an elected Malay rep in DAP's top cabinet is the strong blow to the party's multiracial claim. (Zairil, incidentally, is the unique Malay who benefited from the botched polls - he's now, officially, the 20th "elected&quo! t; membe r of the CEC, the jump from his tangible 39th mark during the strange polls. He additionally happens to be Lim Guan Eng's understudy).
With general choosing just around the corner, something had to be done, right? Desperate people resort to unfortunate measures, they say.
Me, we hold shit happens. When shit happens, you may censure it on the little mechanism sheet or tellurian error, though go clean up all the same. Like my EC crony says, the DAP can explain which it was honest, pure or solid stupid, it doesn't make the difference to him as prolonged as people recollect as well as the DAP leaders realize which they can't explain to even know what the "bersih" electoral routine is.
So before they credit others, they'd better take the demeanour during themselves ...
