PRIME Minister Najib Razak has described the ‘spoilt vote’ campaign launched by certain quarters as contradictory to the democratic system being practised in Malaysia.

He said the negative campaigning approach to win the 14th general election (GE14) should not have been made because Malaysians should be given the right to determine their choice of government.

“Everyone has the right to exercise the powers granted by the constitution to every Malaysian citizen who is an eligible and registered voter.

“So this is the time for us exercise our rights to determine the government, this is our choice because it is (our) responsibility as an individual to determine who should become the government of Malaysia,” he told Malaysian journalists in New Delhi today.

Najib said this when asked to comment on the Spoilt Vote Campaign, which went viral on social media via messages with hashtags  #UndiRosak or #SpoiltVote, and #ProtesPRU or #GEProtest.

The prime minister is currently on a two-day working visit to the Indian capital to attend the Asean-India Commemorative Summit which coincides with the country’s 69th Republic Day.

He concluded his two-day working visit today and is scheduled to return to Kuala Lumpur tonight. – Bernama, January 26, 2018.

  • Najib, like Trump, is overly concerned how he looks. He is afraid his party will criticise him after GE he did not win, rather #Undirosak proof Rakyat are losers.

  • Najib has chosen the right words to talk about the contradiction to the democratic system, as practiced in Malaysia. The voters are campaigning spoilt votes because they cannot vote for BN government. They feel that they could not support Mahathir to be the incoming PM either. But as Wan Azizah has said, everybody has feelings and her family suffers more than any other Malaysians under Mahathir. If Wan Azizah can somach it for the future of this nation, we should be able to follow her example.
