No problem for DAP to use rocket logo in May 5 polls, EC says

I think DAP should not take the matter lightly. Anything can happen in the middle so to prevent futher damage please make fully preparation to avoid any bad circumtances. We use to say as PRECAUTION. Please do note that anything, anything can come accross when the fight has begins.

I am not trying to say that we shouldn't trust EC's statement but until EC confirms with proper documents, we should not take thing for granted. As we know, they would do anything, anything to make sure they win this GE. 
  

The Election Commission (EC) gave an assurance today that the DAP can field its candidates under its rocket logo in the May 5 polls despite the opposition party facing an inquiry by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) over its December 2012 internal election.

The societies regulator had sparked a panic attack earlier today after news broke that it refused to recognise the DAP’s central executive committee (CEC) line up.

“Can use their logo because the problem with RoS is not a problem of deregistering the party. The only problem is that RoS did not recognise the CEC,” EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar told The Malaysian Insider over the phone.

“So the DAP leadership needs to meet with RoS whether today or tomorrow to resolve this problem and get an explanation as to which CEC list the RoS recognises,” he added.

Wan Ahmad(picture) also said the election regulator would cross-check the names of candidates running on the DAP’s ticket against the authoritisation letter issued by the party chief to ensure theer would be no hanky-panky.

Nominations for the 222 parliamentary and 505 state seats in the 13th general elections will open this Saturday. Malaysia will vote on May 5.

The RoS had reportedly informed the DAP it does not recognise the party’s CEC elected last December, a move that could dampen its bid to field Election 2013 candidates under its banner.

A letter dated yesterday, purportedly detailing the RoS’s decision, is circulating online, the Malaysiakini news portal reported.

It also reported the DAP leadership to be closeted in an emergency meeting now at the party’s headquarters here.
