Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the opposition's attempt to smear the Barisan Nasional's (BN) image with all kinds of disparaging statements and fabrications as polling day for the 13th General Election on May 5 approaches, shows that they are getting desperate.
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the opposition parties are now seen to be deceiving the people openly by making sweet promises merely to win in the general election on May 5.
SENATOR BOB CARR |
Australia appears to have thrown cold water on an attempt by a Malaysian opposition leader to get Canberra to interfere in the Malaysian election process.
In response to Parti Keadilan Rakyat adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's
query on why Australia had not dispatched observers for the May 5
Malaysian polls, Australian Foreign Minister Senator Bob Carr said
Australia could not be a self-appointed overseas election authority for
Malaysia.
He was quoted saying by the Australian Associated Press that there was
no way "we could put ourselves in a position where we are shaping
election-day practices, voting practices, in any other country". Driving home the point that Australia was not in a position to do that,
he said: "It's not Australian practice to send, unbidden, observers
into a foreign jurisdiction."
The AAP report further quoted the Australian minister saying: "We can't
be a sort of court of disputed returns, or election authority, election
commission for another country." Senator Carr explained Australia would only send election observers to
foreign countries at the invitation of the government concerned...
