PETALING JAYA: They are young, opinionated and Internet-savvy. And some two million such Malaysians will be eligible to vote in the next general election, and will undoubtedly have a big influence on the results then. The power of the young could be further reinforced by four million eligible voters, many believed to be under 30 years, who did not register in time for the March 8 elections. If these youths choose to register, the eligible voter population in the country will total 16.9 million, including the 10.9 million already registered in the country. |

By Newmond Tibin KOTA KINABALU, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- When Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee announced the party's decision to leave the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition on Sept 17, it did not surprise many people as it was something to be expected. This was because three months beforehand, SAPP had displayed such a tendency. But when United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO) yesterday threatened to review its position in BN, it came as a shock and was seemingly reminiscent to SAPP's political move. |

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- The postponement of the Umno general assembly to March next year does not contravene any regulation in the party constitution, its vice-president, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said. He said it was the right of the party's supreme council to decide on the date to hold its general assembly. "As provided in the Umno constitution, the highest authority is the supreme council, besides the general assembly, and the supreme council has the right to fix the dates for meetings, including that of the general assembly, and the latest is the decision to postpone the general assembly... I don't see how this can be an infringement of the constitution," he told reporters after breaking fast with single mothers and the disabled here Sunday night. |

The eye of the global financial storm stalled over New York and Washington and shoved the most compelling election race in years largely to the sidelines. WASHINGTON (AFP)
In any other year, a Sunday morning six weeks before a US election would be a feast of low blows and flying elbows, with presidential campaign operatives trading punches on television talk shows. Not this Sunday. The eye of the global financial storm stalled over New York and Washington and shoved the most compelling election race in years largely to the sidelines. Operatives for Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama and Republican John McCain were noticeable by their absence on most of the Sunday morning network television talk shows. |

The decision by High Court judge Justice David Wong Dak Wah could pave way for a by-election for this constituency which was won uncontested by Kurup.
However recent amendments to the election laws allow Kurup to appeal the decision at the Federal Court. |

The 12-member of NIEI arrived in Permatang Pauh on Aug 15 to monitor the by-election for a period of 12 days, during which a temporary office was set up for this purpose. NIEI chose to focus on the mobile observation methods during the entire process, from the nomination day to the campaigning period and the election day itself. As we are not accredited to the SPR and as such did not receive authorization to enter polling stations, we gathered our information from surveys and interviews with voters, party agents and supporters, as well as activists, to evaluate the situation on the ground. Here we would like to share some of our finding during the monitoring activities.

Attaching latest photographs of voters on the electoral roll, recording their thumb-prints and signatures on the voting list, and inking their index finger during balloting are among steps that should be introduced to reform the country’s election process.
MCPX  These measures can drastically reduce the chances of 'dubious' votes, such as multiple, phantom and impersonate voting, suggested international election watchdog the Asian Network for Free Elections (Anfrel) to the Election Commission. |
