JAKARTA: The National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) has named seven Kuala Lumpur Overseas Election Committee (PPLN) officials as suspects for allegedly tampering with the voter list amid probes of irregularities surrounding the voting process in the Malaysian capital.

The polling committee officials were named suspects for inaccurate drafting of the final voter list for the Kuala Lumpur voting region due to the influence of lobbying from representatives of political parties, said Bareskrim’s general crimes director Brig. Gen. Djuhandani Rahardjo Puro.
