Political parties bring in the most but 40% are ineligibleBy SHAHANAAZ HABIB and RASHVINJEET S. BEDI

PUTRAJAYA: Voter registration numbers have gone up significantly, thanks to efforts by political parties.
But some 40% of the new voters they have registered turned out to be ineligible.
“Some are dead, underage or already registered voters,” said Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.
===================================================================================
Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof has disclosed that 40% of the registered voters have been rejected and also the biggest contributors of new voters are political parties.
Menurut Pengerusi SPR, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof , 40% daripada permohonan pendaftaran pengundi baru telah ditolak dan sumber pendaftaran terbesar adalah daripada parti-parti politik.
40% wastage rate is too excessive. Go ask any factory supervisor who is worth his salt. And among the reasons for rejection include dead people and underage persons. Now that is taking “I see dead people” statement a bit too far.
Kadar tolakan 40% rasanya terlampau tinggi. Cuba tanyalah madur-mandur kilang yang tahu kerja mereka adakah kadar ini munasabah. Antara sebab pendaftaran ditolak adalah kerana pengundi baru itu termasuk orang sudah meninggal dan belum cukup usia. Ini sudah tidak munasabah, seperti mana dalam wayangduu yang terkenal dengan ungkapan “saya boleh nampak orang yang sudah meninggal” .
It is difficult to imagine honest and reasonable registers failed to see the dead and the infant in front of him.
Amat sukar membayangkan seorang pekerja mendaftarkan pengundi yang jujur dan berfikiran gagal mengesan orang meninggal atau bayi yang berdiri di depannya.
Interestingly, he did not disclose from which source the majority of the rejected registration originated from.
Lebih menarik lagi, beliau tidak mendedahkan sumber-sumber pendaftaran yang ditolak.
Did Abdul Aziz mention the rejection rate among the political parties? No he didn’t and given that political parties are the chief contributors and in the light of transparency and accountability, he should. In fact, the EC should return the rejection forms to the respective originators with good reasons for subsequent follow up. It could be honest mistake and to the cost of genuine eligible voters.
Adakah beliau menyatakan kadar pendaftaran ditolak antara parti-parti politik? Jawapannya dalah tidak dan memandangkan bahawa parti-parti politik merupakan penyumbang utama, dan demi menegakkan ketelusan, beliau patut memberikan maklumat yang sempurna. Bahkan, pihak SPR harus mengembalikan borang-borang pendaftaran nan sudah ditolak kepada semua pekerja pendaftar dengan alasan yang jelas supaya pembetulan boleh dibuat. Mungkin kesalahan itu hanyalah kesilapan nan boleh dibetulkan supaya kepentingan pengundi yang betul-betul layak tidak dijejaskan.
When I went round assisting to register voters, a genuine Malaysian in his 20s told me that he registered himself 2 years ago and until today, his name never appeared in the voter’s roll. I doubled checked and confirmed that this was the case and resubmitted his registration form.
Semasa saya membantu mendaftarkan pengundi di kawasan saya, seorang rakyat Malaysia usia 20’an yang betul-betul layak memaklumkan kepada saya bahawa meskipun beliau sudah mendaftarkan dirinya 2 tahun dahulu tetapi namanya belum disenaraikan lagi. Saya periksa juga dan mengenalpasti bahawa namanya benar-benar tercicir dan telah menghantar semula borang beliau.
From this single incident, I am skeptical that if the abovementioned 40% rejection rate does not include instances like the above gentlemen?
Daripada peristiwa tunggal tersebut, mungkinkah pendaftaran 40% yang telah ditolak itu termasuk kejadian seperti di atas?
Another interesting statistic from the May 2011 numbers alone is that government offices outnumbered even EC in getting voters registered. Given the voting trend in Putrajaya, it is not inconceivable to imagine that the administration of today view, and insist upon that civil servants suppose to be their fixed deposits of votes, together with the much maligned postal voters. How many from government offices been rejected?
Satu lagi angka yang menarik perhatian saya daripada bancian tersebut adalah bahawa pendaftaran oleh jabatan-jabatan kerajaan telah melebihi pendaftaran SPR sendiri. Memandangkan corak pengundian di Putrajaya, tidak mustahil bahawa pentadbiran buat masa kini menganggap bahawa pekerja-pekerja awan harus menjadi simpanan tetap undi untuknya, seperti pengundi-pengundi pos yang menarik banyak teguran. Berapakah pula daripada pejabat-pejabat kerajaan telah ditolak?
All I can say is, even the top civil servant is of the opinion that civil servants should be apolitical.
Menurut Ketua Setiausaha Kerajaan, Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassa, pihak pekerja awam mesti tidak menybelahi mana-mana pihak politik dan bertanggungjawab melayan rakyat dan bukan ahli-ahli politik.

Civil servants should be apolitical, says Sidek
PUTRAJAYA: Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan said civil servants were required to stay apolitical and implement policies set by the present government regardless of their political leanings.
He reminded some 1.4 million civil servants and pointed out that their obligation was to serve the public and not politicians.
Sidik said that it was imperative for the civil service to be neutral and implement policies made by the government of the day, even if the state was led by opposition parties.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Therefore a civil servant would have fully justified his/her salary and pension by performing his/her duties as prescribed by the General Orders and relevant legislation to the best of his/her ability and integrity.
Oleh yang demikian, seorang pekerja awam sudah memenuhi segala tanggungjawab beliau kepada kerajaan dan rakyat dengan melunaskan tugas-tugasnya dengan tekun dan ikhlas.
But your civil right as a voter is totally separated from your professional affiliation. You owe no obligation to the current or future holders of power to vote for them. What you do outside office hours is up to you, provided that it is within the prevailing laws and in good taste.
Hak sebagai rakyat dan pengundi pekerja-pekerja awam memang terasing daripada talian perkerjaannya. Anda tidak berhutang undi kepada pihak pemegang kuasa kini dan penggantinya. Apa yang anda buat di luar waktu pejabat anda adalah hak anda, asalkan ianya tidak melanggar undang-undang dan bersopan.
