The EC says indelible ink was successful during the Kuala Besut by-election
Its chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof, noted that while there were some flaws with the indelible ink during the 13th general election, the EC managed to overcome the problem during the Kuala Besut by-election recently.
"The public has to know that the indelible ink and the biometric system are two different things... it is not that easy to switch. We will continue using the indelible ink as the laws have not been amended."
"We hope there won't be any more issues cropping up about the indelible ink, there won't be people trying their hardest to wash away the ink like in GE13."

Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim had announced at the Dewan Rakyat on July 17 that the government was ready to consider replacing the indelible ink with the biometric system. "It (the biometric system) is the best solution, we will make sure that it is discussed."
The biometric system, Annuar pointed out, was more feasible as Malaysia already had a comprehensive registration system in place in the form of the identity card.

"And did we pay RM7 million of taxpayers' money for food colouring? We need go get to the bottom of this. This revelation underscores Bersih's view that the EC leadership should resign," she added.

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof has previously claimed the indelible ink has a low level of silver nitrate and herbal ingredients were used to substitute the amount of the silver nitrate, thus, making it easily removed.

The cost for the use of indelible ink during the May 5 polls was RM6.9million, covering the costs for designing special ink bottles, the brushes, the boxes as well as the cost for the unique ink mixture, seeing as how it was not available in the market.

33 laporan dibuat terhadap isu dakwat tidak kekal
Sebanyak 33 laporan polis dibuat oleh wakil dan Pengerusi Pusat Mengundi Daerah (PDM) Parlimen Muar hari ini bagi menggesa siasatan terhadap dalang yang berterusan mengeksploitasi isu penggunaan dakwat kekal untuk memburukkan sistem Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-13 (PRU-13) pada 5 Mei lalu.
utusan.com.myMohd. Ismail ketika ditemui berkata, tindakan pihak yang mempertikaikan penggunaan dakwat kekal itu jelas mempunyai agenda bagi memastikan rakyat terutama pengundi tidak berpuas hati dan merasakan proses demokrasi itu berlangsung secara tidak telus atau jujur.
utusan.com.myThe Election Commission (EC) said police reports on the indelible ink would not be enough to dispute the results of the 13th general election, as the ink was only an additional element to the electoral process.

EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar also described the allegation as “grasping at straws”, adding that there had not been a single report to justify the claims.

“The EC admits that there were cases in some areas that our workers had some problem with the ink. But as we said so many times, indelible ink was used as an added element to prevent multiple voting,” he said.

"We voted at about 9.30am but by 5pm our fingers were clear and there were no more signs of the ink.

“We have thousands of reports so far. We have announced that only those who could satisfy the position, that they did vote and secondly, that the black ink disappeared either on the first or following day,” said Anwar.

SPR menubuhkah pasukan khas untuk siasat isu dakwat tak kekal
Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) hari ini menubuhkan pasukan khas bagi mengenal pasti punca yang menyebabkan dakwat kekal yang digunakan pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU13) lepas tidak kekal lama selepas dicalit.
beritatempatan.comPengerusi SPR, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd. Yusof berkata, berdasarkan pengalaman pertama itu, SPR yang mengadakan mesyuarat hari ini, memutuskan untuk menubuhkan 'Pasukan Khas Menyemak Masalah-Masalah Penggunaan Dakwat Kekal PRU Ke-13' untuk meneliti hal-hal berkaitan dakwat kekal itu.
kosmo.com.myBeliau berkata pasukan itu antara lain akan mengkaji aspek ramuan, syarat Kementerian Kesihatan, cara penggunaan dakwat kekal dan kaedah calitan dakwat kekal di jari.
sinarharian.com.my
Pasukan itu juga akan meneliti hasil ujian yang telah dibuat sebelum dan selepas dakwat itu dihantar ke Malaysia.

SPR akan meneruskan penggunaan dakwat kekal pada pilihan raya umum ke-14 (PRU14) dengan melaksanakan beberapa penambahbaikan terutama dari segi kualiti dakwat.
"Kami akan kaji ramuan dakwat itu, serta meletakkan satu standard terhadap kualiti dakwat itu," Timbalan Pengerusi SPR, Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar, berkata.
bharian.com.myWan Ahmad Wan Omar berkata penggunaan dakwat kekal itu akan tetap dilaksanakan kerana ia diputuskan oleh Jawatankuasa Khas Parlimen dan dimaktubkan dalam undang-undang pilihan raya.
sinarharian.com.myWan Ahmad berkata penggunaan dakwat itu hanyalah untuk menghalang pengundi mengundi dua kali.
bharian.com.myNamun jika dakwat di jari mereka hilang, ia tidak bermakna mereka dapat mengundi sekali lagi kerana asas utama yang dilihat oleh SPR ialah nama pengundi dalam daftar pemilih.
Jabatan Peguam Negara menerima lebih daripada 100 aduan
Jabatan Peguam Negara menerima lebih 100 laporan membabitkan penggunaan dakwat kekal sepanjang proses mengundi bermula sejak hari pengundian awal 30 April lalu.
Ketua Bahagian Pendakwaan jabatan Abdul Wahab Mohamed: "Jabatan Peguam Negara telah menyerahkan aduan berkenaan kepada Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) untuk siasatan lanjut."
sinarharian.com.myThe first report received was from Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan on April 30, which claimed the ink was washable and did not conform to what was said earlier, he said here yesterday.

Apa kata Setiausaha Perhubungan PAS negeri, Mohamad Hassan Tamby?
Setiausaha Perhubungan PAS negeri berkata, "Kalau dakwat hilang dalam 10% masih tak mengapa, tetapi boleh dikatakan 95% dakwat sudah hilang & seolah-olah seperti tiada lagi kesan dakwat pada jari."
"Ini bermakna Pakatan Rakyat sebelum ini yang bimbang dakwat jari akan hilang selepas tiga hari terbukti benar, kerana bukan tiga hari, tetapi dalam masa beberapa jam sahaja dakwat sudah hilang."
"SPR pada mulanya pernah berkata pengundian awal akan diadakan tiga hari sebelum tarikh mengundi, kini telah mengadakan pengundian awal lima hari sebelum tarikh mengundi."
"SPR harus memberi penjelasan berhubung perkara ini agar rakyat tidak meragui kredibiliti dan ketelusan SPR."
Apakah dakwat kekal?
Dakwat kekal" (indelible ink) bererti "tidak dapat dihilangkan". Tanda dakwat kekal biasanya kalis air dan tahan selama beberapa hari, atau hampir seminggu.
Tanda ini akan hilang apabila sel kulit lama mati dan digantikan dengan sel kulit baru, oleh itu sebarang tanda pada kutikel dijamin hilang dalam tempoh 2-3 minggu.
