PETALING JAYA, Aug 1 — Coalition of Clean and Fair Elections chairman Thomas Fann today reminded voters about the importance of the state election as local councillors are appointed by the state government.
“Why is the state government important? Because they are the ones who will appoint our local government or local authorities — ‘Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan’— will be appointed by the state government, whoever becomes the state government will have the power to appoint the local authorities. He said since the state elections are not getting as much attention from the public as they should, Bersih, in collaboration with non-governmental organisations and media partner Astro Awani, will embark on an awareness campaign called “VoteLokal”, to persuade registered voters to exercise their rights.
Expressing discontent, Fann said the majority of the politicians who are contesting are getting a free ride from national leaders, and that should not happen.
