Over 28,000 'foreign' voters on electoral roll
There
are at least 28,593 voters of foreign origin on the electoral roll,
most of the concentrated in the hot states of Selangor and Sabah, said
the Malaysian Electoral Roll Analysis Project (Merap).This is the sum of all persons who have registered as voters in the 2012 fourth quarter electoral roll.
They had identified themselves as of either Bangladeshi, Filipino, Indonesian, or Pakistani origin - all the countries involved are the main sources of migrant labour for Malaysia.
Sabah has the most, with 55.6 percent, while Selangor has 15.1 percent.
The other states have a much lower proportion, ranging from 6.2 percent in Kuala Lumpur to 0.1 percent in Putrajaya.
Sabah’s neighbour Sarawak has only 1.1 percent of such voters.
“Very surprisingly, when you look at their (MyKad) numbers, most of them (80 percent) are given the Malaysian ‘state code’, meaning that according to the document, they were born in Malaysia," said Merap research assistant Lee Wee Tak (right).
“Unsurprisingly, the bulk of these carries the state code of Sabah, meaning that these Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, and Indonesians were all born in Sabah.
“So how many Filipinos were actually born in Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Kota Kinabalu’s main hospital)?”
