Hisham: Registering voters at an incomplete camp makes no sense
“Nobody in his right mind would want to go to a place which is not conducive to live.
“It is also crazy to transfer military personnel without preparing housing there because those sent there will not vote for us. Logically speaking, that makes no sense,” he said at a ceremony to hand over the Tun Hussein Onn memorial building to the National Archives Department today.
Hishammuddin is the eldest son of the late third prime minister.
He was commenting on a statement by Mengkibol asemblyman Tan Hong Pin who asked him and the Election Commission to explain how military personnel and their spouses could be registered as voters at the base in Segamat which was still under construction.
Tan said the base was only scheduled to be completed in April 2018 but 1,051 military personnel were already registered to vote in that area.
DAP Kluang MP Liew Chin Tong alleged the base was being built to enlist the personnel to ensure the victory of the Barisan Nasional (BN) in that constituency.
Liew said the 2017 3rd quarter Supplementary Electoral Rolls, which were currently being displayed, showed 1,079 military personnel and their spouses were registered to vote in the P140 Segamat parliamentary and N02 Jementah state constituencies.
Of the total, he said 1,051 voters were registered at Kem Segamat and 28 others at Regiment 501 Territorial Army Kem Segamat.
Hishammuddin said he would ask Chief of Armed Forces General Raja Mohamed Affandi Raja Mohamed Noor to answer the allegation in detail to stop it from becoming a political issue.
