SHAH ALAM: A Barisan Nasional assemblyman yesterday questioned the need for the state to set up a Selangor Commission of Election Fraud Investigation into the 13th General Election.
Speaking during a debate in the state assembly, Sulaiman Abdul Razak, the representative for Permatang, said that unsatisfied parties could file petitions in court and present their evidence at the hearing.
"Why did you all (Pakatan representatives) swear in as assemblymen?
"When you win, then the results are fair but when you lose, for example at the parliamentary level, then it is not fair."
He said the plan to set up the commission was just a political gimmick by Pas, PKR and DAP.
Meanwhile, Azmin Ali (PKR-Bukit Antarabangsa) said such a commission was needed as there was a wide range of election issues that had to be looked into, some of which may not be within the jurisdiction of the legal system.
"In the petition process, it focused only on specific issues. However, we have a need to debate on a wider range of issues, such as the use of indelible ink."
