Johann (Hann) Sze says: Appreciate your feedback. What i witness: no extra ballot boxes, no fighting, no blackout. I am no position to say about any phantom voters as they could have came and gone. A lot of false stories were spreading like wild fire on the internet but it did not take place in Lembah Pantai. Not too sure about other centres. I'm not saying that there was no cheating involved at all. Im sure Nurul started off with a huge disadvantage from the start and there probably were many other tricks. I'm just clarifying about the teargas, empty boxes, fights and blackout.

I got a phone call from someone who was at the tallying centre in Bangkung that they were trying to take ballot boxes into the Lembah Pantai tallying centre with police assistance.

We heard that the FRU had also gone to Bangkung.
I don’t know if Johann Sze is right and that there were no such incidences outside the tallying centre.

I know for a fact that many people went to Bangkung to defend the integrity of the votes of the 31,008 who voted for Nurul.

In the days to come, I am sure, information will surely emerge of how in other constituencies, lights went out at tallying centres and ballot boxes previously unaccounted, were discovered.
