Seek Comfort, People, as EC is impartial

Yes, in one breath he says that the EC is impartial, and within that same breath... our dear EC chairperson, Rashid, says, that in essence, the current government is the only one that is capable of running the country.If he believes that, (if?? laughs cue, everyone!) then we must believe that despite that belief, he will remain impartial, like how the judiciary is.

He went on to say, “(The independence of the EC) should be seen, not by some disgruntled politicians, but through the eyes of the whole rakyat. If the rakyat says, ‘I think Election Commission is independent’, that is enough,” said Abdul Rashid.

Yes. But of course. And on behalf of Malaysians, I pledge, and say, that we, Rakyats of Malaysia, do solemnly believe, and say, that "The Election Commission is independent".

We, the Rakyat, further aver that, we believe that pigs can fly..

Rashid: No other regime capable of running the country
Fauwaz Abdul Aziz | Dec 8, 07 2:29pm

Election Commission (EC) chairperson Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman let slip today his views on which ‘regime’ he regards as being capable of running the country, and said those who disagree with him do not realise the ‘critical’ situation the country is in.

“A lot of people are anxious to determine the type of regime that is going to handle Malaysia in the coming years. They are always talking about regimes. I never talk about regimes. There is only one regime in this country that is capable of running (it),” he said.

“People get angry with me whenever I say this (but) people don’t seem to understand the critical scenario in the country. What is it that can (take) over from the present one given the political scenario we are in?” he asked.
