However, he said, it was still uncertain when the swearing-in ceremony for newly minted Members of Parliament (MPs) will take place as the Cabinet had yet to be formed.

Dewan Rakyat secretary Datuk Roosme Hamzah said no date has been set for the swearing-in ceremony so far because the leader of the House, namely the Prime Minister, had yet to notify the Parliament to arrange for it.

BN Pekan giving out cash to people who voted for them #GE13

Jumlah peratusan undian pada PRU12 2008 ialah 76%.

Malaysian Insider: GE13 - EC says combined with early voters, total voter turnout is 7,916,703 or 59.67pct at 12pm.

In a survey conducted in March for a forthcoming US-based Pew Research Center report, 82 per cent of Malaysians are satisfied with the way things are going in the country.

The percentage was up from 76 per cent in 2007. Some 16 per cent said they were dissatisfied.

"In 2007 the last time we asked this in Malaysia, 76% were satisfied and 21% dissatisfied, according to our 40-country survey," said director of global economic attitudes at the Pew Research Center.

In terms of the economic situation of country, 85 per cent described Malaysia's economic situation good, up from 76 per cent in 2007.

38% hoped the government would look into rising prices, 14% said lack of employment opportunities, gap between rich and poor (six per cent), public debt 13% and all equally 28%.

“Anything over a 15-to-20 seat victory margin will lead to suspicion — the race is that close,” Bridget Welsh, associate professor of political science at Singapore Management University.

“You’re going to see people on the streets” if election observers produce solid evidence of fraud, she said.

Starting at 8.30am, excited policemen lined up in Bukit Aman's Mass Hall and Dewan Perkep. However, polling would only be open until 2pm for centres with less than 50 voters.

272,387 policemen, army personnel, general operations force and their spouses were registered as advanced voters. Of the figure, 161,251 are army personnel and their spouses.

“The Indian community, Orang Asal and even civil servants are being threatened that if they don’t vote for a particular party, they may lose their jobs, Socso benefits and other things.

Echoing Ambiga’s sentiments, Fernandez also said that she was told by several university students not to vote for a certain party or risk losing their scholarships.

“Don’t vote for those who threaten you,” said Ambiga at a press conference, flanked by Bersih steering committee members Irene Fernandez, Yap Swee Seng and Maria Chin Abdullah.

Uploading pictures of ballot papers on the internet is a serious offence, Election Commission secretary Datuk Kamaruddin Mohamed Baria warned today.

He said the EC had lodged a report at the Putrajaya police headquarters regarding the 13th General Election ballot papers meant for postal voters appearing on several social sites on the internet.

Kamaruddin categorically denied that the EC was the source of the pictures on the sites, saying they had started mailing postal ballots for domestic voters since April 22.

As to the name of the candidate stated on the social sites' pictures, Kamaruddin said the name was not necessarily as per the identification card.

"Candidates are allowed to choose their preferred names on the ballot papers. For example, if the voters know the candidate as 'Ustaz Kamarudin' then that is the name printed on the papers," he added.

The PAS-led Kedah government today declared polling day on May 5 a public holiday, the second state to do so after Kelantan.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak said the holiday would facilitate voting by public and private sector employees.

“The people can go out and vote without any problem,” he told a news conference after chairing the meeting at Kota Darul Aman here.

The Indian community remains a key demographic in GE13, with analysts saying BN and Pakatan are in a tight race to get the better part of nearly one million votes.

More Indians are likely to vote for BN this time compared to 2008, analysts said, with 52% of Indians surveyed in favour of BN in a private poll taken by the Merdeka Center for Opinion Research.

“BN shouldn’t take the Indian vote for granted though,” Ibrahim Suffian said, adding the survey was done before BN named controversial Malay rights campaigner Datuk Zulkifli Noordin as a candidate.

The Malay rights group Perkasa vice-president had courted protest over remarks made in a video clip that were seen as insulting to the Hindu religion.

“Zulkifli is a non-starter with the Indians. By fielding Zulkifli, many Indians feel it shows utter contempt for them as the Indians are the people that get belittled,” Ambiga said.

Najib is convinced that the Indian community in the Shah Alam constituency has accepted Zulkifli Noordin as the Barisan Nasional candidate for the 13th general election (GE13) and will vote for him.

There were several last-minute changes to the list of candidates, not only in the Barisan Nasional but also in the opposition camp.

A total of 1,767 nomination forms have been snapped up for parliamentary seats, of which 301 were bought by independent candidates.

As for state seats, 3,229 forms were sold with the independents grabbing 696 of them.

Voters will be marked with the indelible ink before being given their ballot papers to prevent any confusion, said Election Commission chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.

“What happens if a person puts in the ballot paper and then runs away before being marked or refuses to be marked? That is why we are doing it this way,” he said.

Ballots would not be issued to a voter who refuses to show his left index finger for inspection for any trace of ink or refuses to have it marked.

Tindak Malaysia president said EC rules on the ink usage were in contrast to the common practice in other countries which only marked a voter’s finger with ink after voting.

Meanwhile, he also questioned the need to fold the ballot paper before it was handed over to a voter because there is no rule that requires this to be done.

“The ballot paper is folded twice. And to unfold it you would naturally need to use both your hands. It’s highly possible that the ballot paper may be smudged."

“Does it then count as a spoiled vote? The EC did not give us a clear-cut answer. They could just place the ink next to the ballot box and allow voters to dip their fingers after voting."

Kelantan has declared a "cuti peristiwa" (occasional holiday) for polling day on May 5, a Sunday, which is a working day in the state.

"It is not necessary for them apply for leave or seek time off to go and vote," Kelantan MB Nik Aziz who declared the holiday told a news conference.

Meanwhile, Bernama reports that Terengganu is expected to declare a public holiday on polling day

Election Commission chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof had earlier said that if necessary, a holiday could be declared to allow the people to go out and vote.

He also reminded employers in both the public and private sectors that they were obliged by law to allow their employees to vote.

The opposition party’s election strategist Ong Kian Ming them as having padded their résumés with academic degrees from universities that have been exposed as degree mills.

They are interim deputy foreign minister A. Kohilan Pillay, Port Klang Authority chairman Teh Kim Poh, MCA’s Ching Eu Boon and Lee Ban Seng, and Umno religious affair chief, Ab Wahab Ibrahim.

“If these candidates are willing to dupe voters about their qualifications, what other areas of life would these candidates be willing to lie about including in areas of public interest?” he asked.

Ong urged the five to withdraw their candidacy from the May 5 polls if they could not deny or explain their questionable degrees.

Malaysian election law does not require nominees to have a degree in order to run for public office such qualifications did not automatically elevate a candidate’s social standing.

He said those who needed to travel should also get the following day off.

“We are concerned that they might not travel far to vote if there is no day off,” he said after chairing Cuepacs' special congress meeting here yesterday.

In addition, the EC will also ensure that the vault storing the ink is heavily guarded by security teams operating round-the-clock besides being monitored by CCTVs.

Bersih 2.0 today warned Barisan Nasional (BN) against frightening voters from choosing the opposition in its campaigning in Election 2013.

Ms Ambiga said Bersih had received reports that voters were being personally warned by BN candidates not to vote for PR.

It would also check with the Meteorological Department on the weather forecast before deciding on the polling day, he told reporters.

"We do not want the date to coincide with any cultural or religious day, or with important events." said Election Commission chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.

The Election Commission (EC) does not rule out the possibility of polling in the 13th general election being on a weekday though the tendency has been on a weekend.

Bersih 2.0 co-chairman Datuk A. Samad Said openly called on voters today to support the opposition and use this “once chance” to end Barisan Nasional’s (BN) rule in Election 2013.

"I am also a Malay but I often asked why is it that the powers above me are only Malays?" he said, pointing to the racist tactic used by the ruling coalition.

Tunku Abdul Rahman was a Malay, Abdul Razak was a Malay, Hussein Onn was a Malay, Mahathir can be considered a Malay.. Najib is also a Malay," he said.

"So why are we repeatedly reminded that the Malay rights will be threatened?"

Samad that the widespread vote-buying inPeople's 1 Malaysia Aid (BR1M) programme signalled BN's fear that its rule would come to an end soon.

"Take the money, but you must look at the motive behind it. The money did not come from the ministers, they belong to the people, to this land. Do not once feel indebted to them," he added.

"Do not fear, we can improve democracy," he said.

In the video, Christian voters are asked to vote for a corruption-free country where all Malaysians are treated as equals and there is religious freedom, among other things.

The 13th general election must be held at the latest by May 28 following the dissolution of the Dewan Rakyat yesterday, said Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.

“If we were to start counting from April 3, it (60-day period) will end on June 3 but it will miss the Negri Sembilan deadline of May 28,” Abdul Aziz said.

GE13 is expected to present voters with a choice between continuing the country’s controversial ethnic-based policies or putting an end to race-based politics.

According to the New York Times, Malaysia’s race politics was described as an anachronism based on interviews with younger Malaysians and political analysts.

The director of the Merdeka Center said: “The ruling coalition continues to argue that the existing system brings stability. The opposition is talking more about politics based on class, not race.”

The way the electoral system is structured and constituency boundaries are drawn may still give the National Front the edge.

The New York Times also noted that challenge for the ruling coalition will be winning back Chinese voters and new voters who appear “more inclined” to vote for the opposition.

Selepas pembubaran Dewan Rakyat, Perlis merupakan negeri pertama membubarkan DUN diikuti Sabah, Melaka, Perak, Terengganu dan Pahang.

The Election Commission (EC) requires time to prepare before the 13th general election can be held, its chairman said as the prime minister announced the dissolution of Parliament today.

“After that, the EC will call all members of the commission for a meeting to determine the date for nomination of candidates, the campaign period and polling day,” Abdul Aziz said.

“The EC also needs time for preparation, many papers need to be prepared.”

The Election Commission’s (EC) claim that it did not receive a complaint about dubious voters in the Lembah Pantai parliamentary seat is a lie, alleged its PKR lawmaker Nurul Izzah Anwar.

She referred to EC chairman Abdul Aziz Yusoff who said that Nurul Izzah had not consulted the electoral body on the existence of dubious voters in Lembah Pantai before taking court action.

The statement made by the EC chairman is tantamount to lying. We have been responsible, we have tried our best. The EC left us with no choice but to seek legal recourse,” said the first-term MP.

“Such statement destroys any credibility they have left because they do not take seriously the issue of phantom voters with such remark," she said.

She added that it also showed that the EC is not serious about cleaning up the electoral roll of dubious voters.

Chinese voters still wield clout in deciding a BN or PR win in Election 2013 despite their smaller numbers, political analysts have said, due to the way electoral lines are drawn.

Political analyst Wong Chin Huat noted that the Chinese vote would be especially influential if the Chinese voted as a bloc.

“Quite a sizeable number of mixed seats still where Chinese voters continue to remain influential in the determining outcome,” said Merdeka Center for Opinion Research director Ibrahim Suffian.

Penang and Kuala Lumpur have the largest percentage of Chinese voters at 53.3% and 52.2% respectively, Johor 38.8%, Perak 37.7% and Selangor 34%.

Dewan Undangan Negeri Negeri Sembilan terbubar secara automatik hari ini, sekali gus mencatat sejarah pembubaran DUN pertama secara automatik di negara ini.

"There has to be a caretaker government because we will have to pay wages and look into other matters during the period. Without a caretaker government, there will be anarchy,"

"I will continue to remain as Mentri Besar and, together with my exco, will see the day-to-day running of the government. MB is as wakil rakyat and state exco as a government employee."

"So we will continue to serve as the caretaker government until the election," he said rubbishing talk that the state government has become an illegal entity after it completed its five-year mandate.

PAS Negeri Sembilan menasihatkan Menteri Besar Negeri Sembilan agar mendapatkan restu daripada Yang DiPertuan Besar untuk meneruskan tugas beliau sebagai Menteri Besar di bawah ‘caretaker government’.

“Kita tidak mahu rakyat keliru dengan situasi yang berlaku di Negeri Sembilan. Cara yang terbaik untuk elakkan kekeliruan adalah dengan pembubaran parlimen segera,” kata Ketua..

The Negri Sembilan legislative assembly dissolves after midnight on Wednesday, making it the first in the country to automatically disband after the 2008 general election.

The 36-member assembly was sworn in on March 27, 2008 and had its first sitting on April 25, 2008.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said that after the dissolution, his state executive committee would continue to function as the caretaker state government.

He said the public should not be unduly worried and the electoral process can continue if the general election is called anytime soon.

“There is no problem, the displaced villagers who have been placed in temporary shelters can still come out and vote,” he told reporters .

We remind all sides that political violence is a violation of not only the rights of the candidates contesting in the elections, but also that of voters. — Bersih 2.0

Any election candidates deemed responsible for violent incidents during political events will be “named and shamed” on social media sites by polls watchdog Bersih 2.0, Ambiga Sreenevasan warned today.

“We will tell the public not to vote for them,” Bersih co-chairman, S Ambiga, said at the launching of Bersih’s “Reject political violence” campaign today.

Several political parties and non-governmental bodies have been providing people with wrong information about the entire voting process, said deputy EC chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar.

Labelling it as “ajaran sesat (misleading information)”, he said the EC had received news that some groups were giving such misinformation during their ceramah.

“If there are people who don't follow rules, leading to a dirty election, it will be not due to EC or the process but due to those with bad intentions.”

The EC, stressed Wan Ahmad, had nothing to hide when it came to the election process, pointing out that 17 NGOs had been appointed as observers for the polls.

The five Asean countries are Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines and Burma. Requests from other countries for such a mission will not be entertained.

EC's decision to invite them as international observers was a reciprocal move that respected the neighbouring countries' invitation for Malaysia to monitor their own general election.

Abdul Aziz said, apart from foreign observers, EC was also appointing 16 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as neutral observers in the general election.

The news, quoting a statement apparently issued by the prime minister, circulated on the social websites at about 12.30 pm after Najib was seen coming out of the Istana Negara this morning.

The Sabah electoral roll has 60,673 or 6.3% potentially dubious voters, the DAP said today.

Malaysian Electoral Roll Analysis Project (Merap) did a search of the old IC numbers using the first quarter of the 2012 electoral roll and found that 60,673 of those problematic ICs were on the roll.

He said it was unlikely the EC would be able to remove over 60,000 voters from the roll within a span of four months.

It appears that for the first time since Malaysia’s Independence, the prime minister may allow a state assembly to be automatically dissolved before Parliament.

The Johor state government’s mandate expires this Thursday (21/3) while Negeri Sembilan's expire on 26/3. These state assemblies will be automatically dissolved.

Most state assemblies would be automatically dissolved next month, with Terengganu (7/4), Selangor (22/4), Perak (24/4), Malacca (26/4), Perlis and Kelantan (28/4), and Sabah (29/4).

Unless announced soon, the Parliament is set to automatically dissolve on 28 April 2013.

Among those with large advertising budgets are the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu), Penang BN and other efforts led by BN component parties, the executive added.

More pro-government video clips are being produced to crowd out opposition material and advertisements because cyberspace has always been opposition space.

“The PR guys have an advantage, that is why BN people are producing more and also taking out advertisements to drown them out,” the producer who has worked for both parties said.

“Terdapat terlalu banyak video klip di luar sana oleh orang-orang pro kerajaan. Kebanyakkan daripadanya mempunyai nilai produksi baik tetapi mesejnya buruk,” kata seorang produser video.

With the elections just weeks away from being called, Bersih is pressuring the EC to clean the roll of dubious entries.

The Malaysian Insider understands from several Cabinet ministers and BN party leaders that the general election will be held within the next five weeks.

Sources have said that Parliament could be dissolved as early as March 25, just two days before the expiry of the state assemblies in Johor and Negri Sembilan.

PR berkemungkinan besar akan membubarkan DUN pada waktu sama untuk memastikan pilihan raya umum dijalankan untuk semua negeri kecuali Sarawak yang telah menjalankan pilihan raya negeri pada 2011.

Elections in areas affected by the intrusion of south Filipino militants in Sabah will only be postponed if an emergency is declared, said the Election Commission (EC).

Syahredzan said there was no reason for the government to declare a nationwide emergency as the incursion is limited to certain areas in Sabah.

The current government’s mandate expires on April 28, and Parliament will be automatically dissolved if the Prime Minister has not proclaimed the dissolution before then.

Umno Youth chairman Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar has called for the candidates list to be announced early to avoid "problems" during campaigning.

Ideally, the candidates list should be announced at least a week to 10 days before the nomination date of the GE so that they could "soothe" the disappointment of those who were not selected.

"We all know that when candidates are disappointed, anything can happen. The supporters won't work, the machinery rooms won't open. I hope that these cases don't occur anymore," he said.
