（吉隆坡10日讯）民主行动党选举策略员王建民声称在本届大选，民联在11个州及联邦直辖区获得的支持率皆提昇，包括以马来选民居多，即达致70%或更高的州属如玻璃市、登嘉楼及彭亨。

他说，民联在玻璃市获得的支持率提昇4.4%，登嘉楼提昇3.7%及彭亨3.8%。

他指出，这足以显示马来选民也吹反风和给予民联支持，而第13届全国大选的成绩是“大马人民海啸＂，不是如马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细歷所指的两极化政治及首相拿督斯里纳吉所言的“华人海啸＂。

他今日在行动党总部召开新闻发佈会时坦承，民联获得的华裔选民支持率確实增加，但非华裔选民的支持率也提高了。

柔支持率提昇最高

也是沙登区国会议员的他展示分析数据说，跟2008年选举比较，全国13个州属及联邦直辖区中，除了吉打与吉兰丹，民联所获得的支持率有增无减，其中柔佛的支持率提昇最高，达10.3%。

“国阵在本届大选的总得票率为47.8%，相比2008年的51.4%减少了4%；民联在本届大选的总得票率为50.9%，比2008年的47.6%增加了3.2%。＂

此外，王建民也列举23个马来选民人数超过50%的国会议席，指民联获得的支持率提昇了5%或更高，如果没有马来选民的支持，支持率是不可能增加的。

他以加央国会议席为例，马来选民佔了80.7%，而民联支持率提昇了16.1%，同样的，甲拋峇底国会议席，马来选民佔了76%，民联支持率提昇11.8%。

雪8巫裔州席支持率增逾5%

他直言，儘管民联在这些国会议席获得显著的支持率，但基於没有获胜而没受到关注。

“民联在雪州8个以马来选民居多（超过50%）的州议席，同样取得支持率超过5%的增长，包括伊斯兰党贏得的4个州议席，即丹绒士拔、邓普勒公园、杜顺大及巴也加拉斯。＂

询及印裔选票的取向，王建民指出，他仍未就印裔选票进行分析。

无法解决地方课题
“沙砂土著也吹反风”

王建民声称，除了巫裔，沙巴及砂拉越土著也吹反风，不止半城乡也包括乡村选区。

他指出，相比2008年，本届大选中，国阵在砂拉越有8个以达雅族居多或混合选区的支持率下跌超过10%，最高为砂拉卓国会议席达致23.6%；儘管如此，这还不足以让民联贏得选举。

他直言，若国阵无法解决一些严重的地方课题，如抢占土地及兴建水坝，相信未来的支持率將进一步下跌。

7土著选区支持率跌逾10%

此外，他披露，国阵在沙巴州也有7个土著选区的支持率下跌超过10%，当中，民联只成功贏得一个议席即兵南邦国会议席，而保佛国会议席也只是以673张票落败。

他说，国阵贏得的国会议席中有4个只取得不到50%的支持率，包括哥打马鲁都、根地咬、丹南及冰厢岸；多角战影响了民联贏得这些议席的几率。

他表示，在州议席方面，民联共贏得11个州议席，当中有6个属於非华裔居多或混合选区。

“东马土著吹反风的情况清楚显示，不止华裔，就连非华裔也在吹反风。＂

国阵46边缘区得票率55%
“下届大选国阵或败北＂

王建民指出，国阵在本届大选有多达46个边缘选区的得票率只有55%或更低，已让他预见在大马人海啸持续的情况下，国阵很有可能在第14届全国大选中败选。

他表示，46个边缘选区中，有38个在西马半岛，有4个在沙巴及4个在砂拉越。“无可否认，儘管民联没有贏得多数席位，但已让国阵处於防守状態。＂

另外，民联也有30个边缘选区，即26个在西马半岛，1个在沙巴及3个在砂拉越。

柔沙砂已非“定存州＂

王建民说，隨著民联贏得的州议席增加，尤其是前线州柔佛、沙巴及砂拉越，国阵在支持率下跌的情况下，即柔佛下跌10.3%、沙巴下跌6.6%及砂拉越下跌5.3%，已不能再把这三个州列为“定存州＂。

他直言，未来將会有越来越多年轻人登记为选民，而这些年轻选民较少受到主流媒体影响，以及愿意跨越种族界线投票给予民联支持，因此，显见国阵在来届大选很大可能会输掉执政权。

“国阵要在来届大选贏得选举，可能只有透过不公平的选区划分。今年隨时展开的重新划分选区工作，將在第14届全国大选前完成。＂不过，王建民指出，国阵若要重新划分选区增加议席，需要获得三分之二多数票通过才行。

他说：“鑑於此，国阵没有其他选择，只能与民联配合，进行各个政党同意的选区划分。＂

Suspect degrees for two deputy ministers, MCA hopeful

BY DEBRA CHONG
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
APRIL 18, 2013

Kohilan has a Master of Science in Commerce and Industrial Economy degree from Pacific Western University in the United States. — File picKUALA LUMPUR, April 18 — The DAP continued today its drive to dig up more dirt on the academic qualifications of its political rivals from Barisan Nasional (BN), claiming the degrees of both deputy ministers in the Foreign Ministry had being bought from suspect universities.

A day after accusing A. Kohilan Pillay of buying his Master of Science in Commerce and Industrial Economy from Pacific Western University in the United States, DAP election strategist Ong Kian Ming alleged that the Puchong candidate had obtained a fake bachelor’s degree.

Ong also alleged that Kohilan’s colleague in the same ministry, Datuk Richard Riot Jaem, had gained his academic credentials from a well-known “bogus university”.

“In other words, both our deputy foreign ministers have not one but two degrees from dubious universities!” the opposition politician said in a statement. 

“Such behaviour is totally unethical and unacceptable for any leader, not to mention two national leaders that are supposed to represent our nation on the international stage!” he added.

Ong chided the two deputy ministers for being so bold as to list their paper qualifications on the ministry’s website, noting that a simple background check revealed the universities that had awarded the duo their degrees to be suspect.

Connaught University in the Republic of Ireland from where Kohilan was said to have got his Bachelor of Economics does not have a website and had been among a list of “dubious institutions” in a 2009 investigation by local daily The Star along with the Pacific Western University where the BN man had got his master’s degree, Ong said.

Richard, the incumbent MP for Serian in Sarawak, was alleged to have bought both his Bachelor of Business Administration from the Chartered Institute of Business Administration (Ireland), Teoranta in 1994 and his Master of Business Administration from Preston University in the US.

Ong also claimed that Nicole Wong, another BN hopeful for the Seputeh federal seat, owned “invalid degrees” from “unauthorised schools”, raising doubt over her MBA from the West Coast University Panama.

He reiterated his call on the BN nominees to withdraw from taking part in the May 5 election. 

“Not having a degree does not disqualify someone from being a candidate. 

“But having lied about how one has obtained a degree most certainly disqualifies a person, from an integrity standpoint, from being a candidate,” he said.

DAP: Nearly 75,000 voters in Malaysia with ‘problematic’ Sabah ICs

BY SYED JAYMAL ZAHIID
MARCH 23, 2013

KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 – DAP election strategist Dr Ong Kian Ming revealed today that there are nearly 75,000 potentially dubious voters in electoral rolls nationwide, a number that could tilt the outcome of Election 2013 in favour of the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN).

Ong said the number includes those with the “problematic” identification cards highlighted recently during a Sabah RCI hearing, as well as holders of the “Red” and “Green” Sabah ICs, whose voting rights are suspect.

Red IC holders are non-Malaysian permanent residents, while green IC holders are non-Malaysian temporary residents.

“I repeat the call for the National Registration Department (NRD) and the Election Commission (EC) to conduct a joint investigation to determine if these 74,988 voters are genuine voters who have been given their ICs and/or citizenship by following the proper procedures,” Ong said in a statement here.

“I stand ready to present all of my evidence to the Sabah RCI if I am asked to testify,” he added, referring to the ongoing Royal Commission of Inquiry probe on allegations that foreigners in Sabah are given citizenships in exchange for their votes.

During a recent RCI hearing, NRD assistant chief in the IC division Sabah and Sarawak Ruslan Alias revealed a list containing 130,459 problematic old IC numbers, divided into three lists called P1, P2 and P3.

P1 contains 51,300 old IC numbers with no information, or partially available information in the NRD. P2 contains 62,500 of these numbers, making the total 113,850. P3 contains 16,669 numbers which have been terminated since 1996.

Ong, who is Malaysian Electoral Roll Analysis Project (MERAP) director, later revealed that the watchdog found that 60,673 of the “problematic” IC holders in lists P1, P2 and P3 are registered as voters in Sabah’s electoral roll in the first quarter of 2012.

He later revealed the presence of 7,475 voters in Sabah with Red and Green ICs.

After expanding his search, Ong said today he discovered that the same problem affects voter rolls outside of Sabah, including in Sarawak and the peninsula.

In his statement today, the DAP strategist said a search on Quarter 1 of the 2012 electoral roll in the peninsula showed that there are 6,840 voters carrying P1 to P3 old IC numbers, as well as Red and Green ICs.

“The state of Selangor tops the list with 2412 such voters (35.4 per cent) followed by Johor with 1190 such voters (17.4 per cent) and KL with 952 (13.9 per cent).

“The evidence thus far reveals that that a total of 74,988 potentially dubious voters – P1 to P3 and ‘Red’ and ‘Green’ old ICs – in Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia. (60, 673 P1 to P3 voters in Sabah, 7,475 ‘Red’ and ‘Green’ voters in Sabah, 6,840 P1 to P3 and ‘Red’ and ‘Green’ voters in the rest of Malaysia),” Ong said.

Despite pressure from rights group and the opposition, EC officials have refused to respond to calls for a voter roll clean-up, arguing that some of the complaints raised were untrue while calling the high percentage of irregularities in the roll “normal”.
