Deputy minister: Don’t belittle voters with unusual names

ROMPIN: A deputy minister from Sarawak is furious that voters with unusual names have been belittled and accused of being phantom voters.

Taking the Opposition to task for questioning the authenticity of such names in the electoral roll, Deputy Rural Development and Regional Minister Datuk Joseph Entulu Belaun said: “They have run out of ideas to attack the electoral system. The Opposition has clearly insulted these voters and do not understand or respect the cultures and practices of these people.”
