The Election Commission (EC) today denied that the 14th general election will be held on Oct 13 this year, after a video recording purportedly showing its officers at a pre-election briefing made its rounds on social media.<\/p>\n
An unnamed announcer in the 39-second video said that early voting will be held on October 11 this year, and that voting day will be held two days later, on October 13.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hereby announce that early voting will be held on October 11, 2017 and voting day on October 13, 2017, voting centres will be notified…\u201d said the unnamed announcer in the video.<\/p>\n
An aide to EC chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Hashim Abdullah confirmed the authenticity of the video contents, but said that it was merely a simulation exercise ahead of GE14.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is just a simulation exercise to registrar officers in Kelantan recently. Only an exercise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are some naughty people (trying to spread rumours),\u201d the aide told Malay Mail Online when contacted.<\/p>\n
The 14th general election must be called by August next year.<\/p>\n
SPR Statement in BM as below;<\/p>\n
KENYATAAN MEDIA<\/p>\n
SPR NAFI PRU OKTOBER INI<\/p>\n
Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya\u00a0 (SPR)\u00a0 ingin menegaskan bahawa dakwaan kononnya Suruhanjaya berkenaan kemungkinan PRU 14 akan dilakukan pada Oktober ini adalah tidak benar sama sekali serta mengelirukan masyarakat.<\/p>\n
SPR telah mengesan terdapat dakwaan tersebut di media sosial yang mula ditularkan oleh pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab sejak semalam.<\/p>\n
Faktanya, video yang tular itu adalah latihan simulasi oleh kakitangan SPR. <\/p>\n
SPR juga akan memantau dan mengkaji segala berita tidak sahih yang dimuat naik di mana-mana laman media sosial untuk memastikan tidak ada mana-mana pihak cuba mencemarkan\u00a0 reputasi SPR.<\/p>\n
Pengurusan Tertinggi SPR sedang menimbang untuk membuat aduan polis terhadap mereka yang menyebar fitnah dalam media sosial supaya tindakan undang-undang diambil terhadap mereka.<\/p>\n
