Election Commission?? Only side BN again and again..

‘Irrelevant parties’ cannot display party flags at by-elections

SUNGAI PETANI: DAP and other irrelevant parties in Pakatan Rakyat are barred from displaying party materials during the tri by-elections in Bukit Selambau, Bukit Gantang and Batang Ai.

Election Commission deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said that as Pakatan Rakyat was a loose coalition which was not legally recognised, its component parties were not allowed to display party flags, banners and logos during the campaign period.

“We also do not allow irrelevant parties to apply for ceramah permit.

For example, in Bukit Selambau, we only allow PKR to apply for ceramah permits and display party materials. In Bukit Gantang only PAS flags can be displayed, he said.

However, Barisan Nasional component parties were free to display their respective party flags as it was a legally recognised coalition, he added.

He said this after visiting the nomination centre in SM Teknik 1 here on Saturday.

Declaring that Bukit Selambau was now under police jurisdiction, Wan Ahmad said loud music, blasting radios and loud speakers were not allowed when candidates parade with their supporters to the nomination centre.

if a candidate represent Barisan then only the Barisan flag should displayed. So there should be no UMNO flag flying in Bukit Selambau, is that what the OCPD meant?

The EC means Barisan with their component(either UMNO, MCA, MIC, Gerakan, PBB and etc) can display in banner or flag in every election the participate but for Pakatan only the flag of the respectives candicates party only can be display zz..

If there are PAS then PKR and DAP flag banner cannot display in the campaign.

It's very unfair to Pakatan bcos they said Barisan is legal recognise party but Pakatan not, why Pakatan not? If not recognise can ruling 5 states?

Maybe the EC wanna help Pakatan save more money ZZzz..

Again and again this EC side BN.. But no worry opposition wave are reach now to every corner around Malaysia, whoever and whatever done also cant stop the falling of Barisan.. I confident, confident!!
