TI-M declines observer status for upcoming general election


PETALING JAYA: Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) has declined the Election Commission's (EC) offer to take part as one of the five local observers at the 13th general election due to its reservations over some of the terms set by the polls management body.

The pullout has, however, not gone down well with one of the remaining four bodies which hit out at TI-M for failing to register its “strong reservations” with the EC before declining the offer.
