Many of us want to see change in our nation. However certain steps
must be done for this to happen. One of the measures to achieve this
development is to do registration of eligible voters who have not
registered. This is an on-going exercise which was started in January
2010.
Since the Sibu by–election it was discovered that there are many
fraudulent practices being utilized to prevent a free and fair
election result. If this is left unchecked this has very serious
implications on our nation at the next General Election.
Thus it has become necessary to ensure that there are sufficient
Polling and Counting agents (PACA) to ensure a fair result for just
that one day in the event of the next General Election which is
believed to be held within the next 6-8 months.
Thus, we calling upon all concerned citizens to uphold justice and
fairness by being a PACA for just that one day. In order to do so one
has to undergo half a day’s training.
In the circumstances Mr. Ong Chee Yong a senior Advocate & Solicitor
who has researched the Election Offences Act will be conducting PACA
training as follows:-
Date : 17th November 2010 (Wednesday, a public holiday)
Time : 9.30am – 1pm
Venue: Wisma PKK, Tmn Sutera Utama, next to Seri Omega & Kuo Kuang 2
Please register for the training by e-mailing to paca@ccem.ws or SMS
to 016-7020011 stating PACA TRAINING with your name/s. It would help
us to ensure that a place is reserved for you and adequate materials
are printed. Please let us know by the 15th November.
A flyer for the event is attached. Please circulate to those who may
be interested. Thank you.
