Election 2008 Part 2 - The clean Election in process

Let me continue - and allow me to finish off the election stories using English.

After the nomination, we started the voting process. We used the high quality post-it papers as our voting papers. Hongso Tatt chaired the Election Commission, assisted by Boo Wei, Lau Ee, Ir Turkey and Dr Birdie. All the votes were strictly controlled and the counting process had been very professional and transparent. Lau Ee read out the candidate number, Hongso Tatt verified them before Boo Wei registered the counts. Dr Birdie then did the audit. We also had the KPMG's youngest, brightest and most handsome partner to conduct the final independent audit.

The competition had been very very stiff. All three candidates kept praying, smoking, touching che-ling etc. with the hope they would pull through. We also witnessed one candidate using his hoonkeetao to poke the other older candidate.

In addition to those in attendance, we also frantically called and woke up the remaining brothers to get them to SMS/Voice vote in. Again, this process was also very well thought through, well planned and well executed with high integrity. The brothers informed one of the commission members via voice call and followed by SMSing in the names. Dr Birdie again audited the process and the message details to ensure no manipulation of votes. Maxis, the leading Malaysia Cellular Operator, also deployed dedicated transmission trunks to ensure the SMS' were encrypted yet still ensured the delivery in 25 milliseconds.
