Ahead of GE14, electoral watchdog BERSIH 2.0 has launched a 'Hall of Shame' webpage dedicated to naming and shaming "any candidate, party, official, or individual guilty of acting against clean and fair elections"
Hosted on the PEMANTAU website, BERSIH 2.0 stated that only information from verified reports submitted to them by the general public or PEMANTAU volunteers and coordinators will be included on the page.
According to the post, the Hall of Shame selection is based on the value of money involved, the frequency of the offence, the scale and reach of the offence, and the potential impact on the integrity of the upcoming GE14
At the time of writing, there are 130 offences listed including the dates, places and summaries of incidents.
Among the offenders listed are prominent politicians such as Najib Razak, Tengku Adnan Mansor, and Noor Hisham Abdullah, the Director General of the Ministry of Health
Meanwhile, BERSIH 2.0 has also submitted a report to the Election Commission (EC) yesterday, 24 April, regarding more than 80 public complaints they have received related to the electoral roll since the dissolution of Parliament
