Abdul Rashid said the use of indelible ink would not be effective as the country's constitution allows those who refuse to have their fingernail marked with the ink to still be issued with a ballot.
He added that the use of the indelible ink could infringe the constitutional right of a voter to cast his vote, especially if the commission tries to bar someone from voting for having an ink marked in his finger.
"From a practical point of view, the issuance of a ballot paper to such a voter would render the EC's proposal meaningless and will not bring about a positive result, whilst having the potential to create misunderstanding as well as altercations and arguments at polling stations," he said.
He added that the Federal Constitution gives Malaysians the right to vote and a black mark on the fingernail should not bar people from exercising this right, he said.

WTF ? ARE WE ALL STUPID ? OR DO YOU THINK WE'RE ASSHOLES - BENT OVER READY FOR YOU TO SCREW OVER and OVER AGAIN
It seems he has now brushed aside his entire academic reasoning of 'constitutional right of a voter' with just one freaking sentence "cabinet did not approve the use of indelible ink during the March 8 general election"

This UMNO government has been bullshitting the rakyat for the last 50 years !!
Wonder if Gani Petail can recommend PM be charged for lying? I don't think so. He cannot charge his boss.
Lim Keng Yiak said Anwar was a chameleon. Now after elections he said UMNO not giving equal respect to component parties.
So who is the chameleon now ?
Don't over-look on the transparent ballot boxes being intorduced by this SPR Big Liar!!! Get someone to check...BIG POSSIBITIES UNNOTICED CORRUPTION!!! BIG AMOUNT OF CORRUPTION INVOLVED! Check PLEASE someone! If PROVEN; CHARGE THEM INVOLVED & SUNGAI BULOH OR KAJANG PRISON DOORS AWAITING THEM!!!
It's now red marks for the election's proposed black ink
Swinging between 'decision' and 'suggestion' it simply sinks
Not taking into account how the stories to it are linked
Will the black 'liquid gold' fast become a white elephant before the next wink?
