‘Rethink redelineation exercise’


PETALING JAYA: There is a need to review how electoral boundaries are redelineated to prevent further divisive segregation of voters along ethnic lines, according to analysts.

Responding to the Election Commission’s proposal to alter the electoral boundaries of 113 parliamentary seats in the peninsula which has drawn wide criticism for creating fewer mixed seats and reinforcing mono-ethnic ones, Merdeka Centre director Ibrahim Suffian said the proposed boundaries could further entrench racial politics and discourse.
