Rafizi used parliamentary immunity to "SPREAD LIES" - EC's Wan Omar

Rafizi used parliamentary immunity to "SPREAD LIES" - EC's Wan Omar
PETALING JAYA - Controversial Election Commission deputy chairman Wan Ahmad Wan Omar accused MP for Pandan Rafizi Ramli of abusing his parliamentary immunity to tarnish the credibility of EC chief Abdul Aziz Mohd yusof.
"Rafizi did that on purpose and he used his parliamentary immunity to make the allegation and spread lies," Bernama reported Wan Ahmand as saying.
During recently-conculded Pariamentary sitting, Rafizi had revealed the name of the indelible ink supplier and alleged that the firm was linked to top EC and government officials.
Wan Ahmad however insisted the allegation was not true and baseless.
Trust me - Wan Ahmad!

He also told the press conference in Kuala Besut, where a by-election is due to be ballaoted on july 24, that the EC had removed from the electoral roll 50 names of dead voters from the time right after the May 5 general election until the state seat was announced vacant on June 27.
According to the EC deputy chairman, the removal of dead voters' names from the electoral roll was a continuous process that should be trusted by the people.
"The electoral roll is clean...there is no way for anybody to go and vote twice.
"In Kuala Besut, for example, even before the seat fell unexpectedly vacant, we have already removed the names of dead voters' from the electoral roll," he said.
The press conference had been held after monitoring the early voting process for the Kuala Besut seat at the Gong Kedak air force base here today.
The early voting at the base involved 1,134 Royal Malaysian Air Force personnel and their spouses, as well as 14 policemen.
The by-election has been necessitated by the death of assemblyman Dr A. Rahman Mokhtar of the Barisan Nasional (BN) of lung cancer on June 26. It sees a straight fight between BN candidate Tengku Zaihan Che Ku Abd Rahman, 37, a civil engineer with the Drainage and Irrigation Department who hails from Kuala Besut, and PAS candidate Endot @ Azlan Yusof, 48, a contractor.
On the use of indelible ink, Wan Ahmad said each voting channel was given a bottle of the indelible purple-coloured ink. He said voters and party supporters should believe that the ink was not easily washable and there would not be a situation where a voter could cast his or her vote twice.
While showing his index finger which was marked with the indelible ink, Wan Ahmad said: "I dipped my finger in the indelible ink six days ago and used only water to wash it, but the ink colour still shows....trust me."
When asked whether indelible ink would continue to be used in future elections in the country, he said the EC would study the possibility in detail before making suggestions to use other methods.
"We will discuss it with the stakeholders...if they want to continue using the black ink like in Africa, we will continue with that," he said.
