CARTOON REVIEW JUL 1986 : EC RULING

'

This cartoon was published on" Public News"  (losely translated from Berita Awam) in July 1986 depicted hidden hand behind the Election Commission (EC) who was instructed to revise and amend the 1981 Election Ruling to make it more favourable to them in the coming election. Recent episod whereby overseas voters who claimed thier right of voting in the near future election whom they have been denied thier right which is granted under Federal Constitution, on the other hand, only certain catagories of overseas voters are allowed to exercise thier voting right overseas via thier respective diplomatic office; this kind of discrimanatory act towards certain group of  Malaysian could also be due to such favouratism as mentoined above which could be detrimental to the real democracy process? God knows.


Kartun ini telah dipaparkan di " Berita Awam pada Julai 1986 menonjolkan tangan yang tersembunyi di belakang Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya di mana ia diarahkan untuk meninjau dan mengubal Peraturan Pilihanraya 1981 agar ia lebih bercenderung memberi kebaikan kepada mereka pada pilihanraya yang akan datang. Episod baru-baru ini di mana pengundi di seberang laut menuntut hak mereka untuk mengundi pada pilihanraya pada masa yang terdekat di mana mereka dinafikan haknya  yang dijamin di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan, di sebaliknya, hanya sesetengah katagori pengundi seberang laut dibenarkan menjalankan hak mengundi melalui  pejabat diplomatik masing-masing, tindakan diskriminasi yang sebegini terhadap sesetengah kumpulan tertentu mungkin juga berpunca daripada pilih kasih sedemikian seperti yang tersebut di atas yang boleh membahayakan proses demokrasi yang sebenarnya? Tuhan mengetahuinya.

Chinese version is self explanatory
