Umno president Najib Razak speaking during a press conference after the party's Supreme Council meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur today. He says the election system in place now is the same one that got Pakatan Harapan chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad elected as prime minister decades ago. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Hasnoor Hussain, January 30, 2018.

CHEATING will not occur in the 14th general election due to the Election Commission’s strict protocols, said Prime Minister Najib Razak.

He said any allegations to the contrary were just attempts by the opposition to cast doubt on the polls results.

  • Cheating already started, it's called the new electoral roll and Redelineation. Najib asked why Mahathir did not do reform in his time, because he is Mahathir, founder of everything Najib and UMNO have, and Najib and his UMNO is NOT, not even a fraction.

  • Cheating or otherwise is not for Najib or even Opposition to declare. We need independent, credible elections watch moderators to investigate and report. Will Najib see to it?

  • The fact that the PM should say something about this topic makes it even more worrisome. It means their machinery will be in place whether gerrymandering, allocation of postal votes or their government servant votes, or other means. We Malaysians should be so worried. Already fighting on this front, now we have to consider UndiRosak. Can you imagine there is actually a 5% or 10% or even 15% Malay swing depending on certain constituencies, which is neutralised by UndiRosak. We will lose the opportunity to change a government, to change our electoral system so that frustrated UndiRosak folks feel that their votes finally mean something in GE15, and we will all suffer the consequence of perpetual servitude to this PM as long as he is alive because I doubt he will be leaving office before that, which is possibly for a very long time.

  • If Malaysian election is fraud-free and fair as claimed by Najib, then why is its electoral integrity ranked 142nd out of 158 countries assessed, and its electoral boundary ranked at the very bottom, in a research project called “Global Perceptions of Electoral Integrity”?
    The project paper states: “Malaysia’s electoral process is highly manipulated across all the key areas, and every aspect of electoral competition is biased in favour of BN through institutions and procedures that fall short of neutrality”.
    The paper further states that Umno, through its six-decade rule, has “penetrated nearly all of the state’s appendages, rendering the line between Umno and the state essentially indistinguishable in many areas.”
    Notable among the biased institutions are the ROS and EC, the latter’s outstanding manipulations being the notorious malapportionment and gerrymandering that enabled BN to have won 60% of parliamentary seats despite losing the popular votes by a margin of 4% in GE 13.
    Suffice to say that the Malaysian election is a total farce, and an unmitigated mockery of democracy.

  • Actually, this is mind boggling. Everyone knows he is liar because of 1MDB. Yet he makes MORE ridiculous lies so publicly. It's so Trump, he think his base does not care no matter what ridiculous thing he does. Is it true? Is the UMzNIvoter just the same or worst than Trump voters?

  • C’mon Najib, my toes are laughing. After your Arabian Nights story with respect to the $2.6 billion from 1MDB scam ending up in your own pockets, please refrain from making us laugh till we roll on the floor.

    • He is ready to take on Harith Iskandar at when he loses in GE14. He is a natural at cracking jokes.

  • Cheating is actually just the glazing on a cake that is made up of gerrymandering, redelineation, generous handouts and other tactics designed to ensure aBN victory. Of course you can do without the icing when the cake will suffice.
