Media Statement by DAP Parliamentary Leader and MP for Ipoh Timor Lim Kit Siang in Petaling Jaya on Friday, 2nd January 2009:

Kuala Terengganu by-election – issue at stake is whether the changes started by the March 8 political tsunami last year  should be pressed  on or be blocked and  even reversed
——————————————————————————————-

DAP National Deputy Chairman Dr. Tan Seng Giaw, who was at the Kuala Terengganu stadium last night representing DAP, was as surprised as anyone when it was announced that the PAS candidate for the forthcoming by-election is four-term Wakaf Mempelam State Assemblyman, Abdul Wahid Endut and not anyone  of the two leading contenders,  Batu Buruk assemblyman Dr. Syed Azman Nawawi and  PAS Terengganu chief Datuk Mustapha Ali.

Even as the Umno-led Barisan Nasional pumps out election goodies and lures worth hundreds of millions of ringgit to voters in Kuala Terengganu, some 119 low-grade school workers in the coastal town - mainly gardeners and security guards - have been ruthlessly shown the door.

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak couldn’t have made it any clearer - the upcoming Kuala Terengganu by-election is crucial for Umno. Indeed for him, Kuala Terengganu is the key to reversing Umno’s fortune.

At a meeting with top editors two weeks ago, the prime minister-in-waiting has likened Kuala Terengganu to the by-election in Parit Raja 20 years ago, which saw Umno Baru raising from the ashes after being mauled in Johor Baru months earlier.

The 52-year old Wahid is a stalwart - almost a fixture in the Terengganu political scene - having successfully defended his state seat since 1990. His good result in the March 2008 poll may well have been the deciding factor.

10.5% of voters in Kuala Terengganu are registered without a house number (NoRumah), even after excluding postal voters. SPR’s voter address registration seems archaic, with 35% voters nationwide without house numbers, and without ZIP code. Why not automatically register voters and use MyKad address?

We list KT’s 36 voting stations (TM), 143 voting streams (Saluran), and the maximum number of voters that can appear in a vote tally. Two oldest voters pushed to the end of queue?

KT Subdivided into 4 DUN, 38 DM, 36 TM, 336 Localities

Kuala Terengganu (P036) contains 4 state seats (DUN), 38 voting districts (DM), 36 voting stations (TM), 143 voting streams (Saluran), and 336 localities. Oddly, KT contains very small and large localities (1 to 2,812 voters).

SPR again slightly modified all police IC numbers. The same police voters actually remain registered in KT. But researchers who compare electoral rolls using IC numbers may mistake them as 1001 missing voters and - at the same time - another 1001 newly added voters. Such confusion had accounted for half the mystery and uproar about “900+ missing voters” in the Permatang Pauh by-election in August 2008.
