By right, The Election Commission should be a neutral body, but not in this bolehland. In any case, when you are doing a favor by employing pensioners to this position, what do you expect from them? They are more obliged to look after their own rice bowls rather than to ensure a democratic and fair election. In the end of the day, they behave like a Malay sayings "Macam Lembu DiCucuk Hidung…Di Tarik Mahathir Ke Mana Suka…"

It was so obvious that the EC has been so one sided. While quickly reacted to proposals made by ruling party, it totally ignored numerous complaints repeatedly made by the oppositions, namely on the abuse of mass media and government machineries by the BN in every election, phantom voters, money politic…..the list goes on…….None of these offences were mentioned by members of the Election Commission.

The EC cited its concerns "kononnya" they have never seen such a dirty campaign conducted by the opposition before as what happened in Pendang and Anak Bukit. Probably they were blind during Indra Kayangan by election where BN gangsters chased around and mercilessly bit members of Keadilan, smashed their cars, even a policeman lost his teeth to Shahidan's gangters, not to mention Putri UMNO who flashed their fat bumps in a group act! Oh come on guys! Let's be fair! When BN used the entire government machinery for its campaign, why didn't you all criticize? Not a whisper was heard from them. I guess their balls must have shrunk to a size of peanuts at the mention of Mahathir's name!

Now the EC is demanding for a greater authority for obvious reason to choke the oppositions. BN is already armed to the teeth, from Information Ministry with its propaganda machines (TV and radio) and mainstream newspapers, as well as other government agencies, to the entire Police Force, now with its honorable new role to protect phantom voters. And today the EC is roped in as another tool to suppress our already ailing democracy……Are we moving forward or heading back to the Stone Age…..? Our judiciary has already been fucked by Mahathir, now the EC allows itself to be sodomised by the power crazy man!

There are many outstanding priorities for the EC to address first, such as to update the voters list, taking out the dead person names and entering new eligible voters in, establishing fair rules during election campaigns, finding ways and mechanism to stop phantom voters and to stop unhealthy practices by BN campaigners such as to blackmail voters to vote for BN in order to enjoy development projects. Remember, the wealth of this nation does not belong to the Mahathir's father. NO! It belongs to taxpayers…Let's remind those IDIOTS that it is very wrong to treat the resources of this country solely belong to BN, for the opposition supporters too had to pay their taxes.

Just remember that rakyat who treasure democracy are watching closely the actions of EC members. They are feeding their families with incomes earned from tax payers' money, so they should carry out their duties honestly. As Muslims, they should remember that they are accountable for every deed and action while undertaking the people trust. In the other world, neither Caliph Mahathir nor Dollah Badawi can come to their rescue from His judgment!

We must stop the EC from being used as another instrument by the government to favor BN and suppress the oppositions.
