EC breaks promise

Will we be seeing 'ghosts' on March 8. ? Election Commissioner TS Rashid decided, with the agreement of the IGP and AG, that indelible ink won't be used to mark 'voters'. Some RM2.4 million was allocated to buy the ink from India. Turning around on his earlier announcement after parliament was dissolved. Reason was, as he bullshitted, that some jokers had bought the inks from a neighboring country and were planning to mark the fingers of several 'simpletons' from remote villages, making them believe that it was required prior to voting . When actually it would 'disqualify' them from voting. Fingers are supposed to be marked after voting. There might be some 'troubles' in the polling centers when these people are prevented from voting. Man, I was so eager to get my finger painted to show that I voted. So now, its possible for ' phantom voters' to siege the polling centers of the 'hot' seats in their chartered busses. Remember, the police have warned opposition party supporters not to hijack or stop those busses from ferrying the 'ghostly' voters to the polling centers. Is the ruling party so scared to lose that it had to enlist the '3 Stooges' to put up obstacles on the election path ? What next ?

umm, you might want to change it to '2.4 million' to be exact.

200 million is a bit exaggerated.
