EC ‘yes’ to PAS request over postal votes
PUTRAJAYA: The Election Commission has agreed to PAS’ request that postal votes in the Bagan Pinang by-election be placed under the safe-keeping of the returning officer instead of at the army camp or police station.
EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Yusoff said the commission had agreed to this as the request was “reasonable”.
“During a meeting on Sept 28, PAS representatives had raised the issue, claiming that leaving the bags containing postal votes at the police station or the army camp would be unsafe.
“Even though we assured them that it would be safe, nevertheless, we have agreed to their request as it is reasonable,” he said.
The EC chairman also said the rule to not allow political parties to campaign inside army camps was not stipulated by the commission.
“This is a rule stipulated by the army. It has nothing to do with us. - + selanjutnya

Terlampau pandai !!!
Bukankah tempat yang paling selamat di anggap di balai Polis atau Kem Tentera sebagai pusat 'keselamatan'.
Jika disimpan di tempat lain, apabila berlaku pencerobohan atau kecurian atau kemusnahan, siapa pula yang akan disuruh datang untuk mengawal dan menyiasat.
Bukankah menyimpan di tempat lain sebagai satu kerja bodoh dan penghinaan kepada Polis di Raja Malaysia dan Tentera yang berpayungkan Sultan dan Raja2 Melayu.
Institusi tersebut tidak wajar diperlakukan demikian walaupun ada segelintir didalamnya yang tidak amanah.
Adalah lebih baik bag/peti undi pos dan wakil SPR bersama wakil UBN dan PAS 'dipenjarakan' di Balai Polis untuk seketika waktu.
Lebih baik dijaga oleh DO (selalunya DO/ Peg. Daerah yg dilantik jd Pegawai Pilihanraya Returning Officer). Aku tak yakin dgn polis atau yangv lain!
