Anwar said this in response to allegations that there was money politics and the e-voting process was flawed in the recently concluded party polls.
“Let the respective authorities like MCMC (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission) and MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) investigate.
“MCMC has to go through the entire e-voting process, while MACC will have to investigate if there was any corruption involved.
“My position on this is that they should do a professional job in their investigations, based on the reports which have been submitted,” he told reporters during a press conference at the PKR Congress here at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC).
According to Anwar, he had spoken to Rafizi Ramli, the candidate for deputy party president, and assured him that the party leadership was not attempting a “cover-up” on the reports of corruption and the flawed e-voting process.
Anwar was referring to Rafizi’s recent queries on the Julau PKR division election in Sarawak, which he said were marred by allegations of tampering of devices used for e-voting.
“I assured Rafizi and told him to accept the results. He said okay. But it does not mean that we are trying to cover up any cases.
“But we are not stopping the investigations because the members and leaders have made allegations and reports.
“If we don’t do that, people are going to attack the party, saying I am not doing my job.”
When asked if he would prefer that the party revert to paper ballots instead of e-voting, Anwar said the electronic voting process should be reviewed.
“This is a sophisticated process. It has to be truly tight and conducted in a professional and competent manner.
“My personal view is that we have to assign a team to review and make some recommendations on whether to proceed with this in future.”
Rafizi was earlier reported as accusing the election committee (JPP) of negligence in allowing the “Prey” app to be installed in the tablets used for e-voting and he questioned its stand that the incident did not affect the integrity of the election data.
Despite the complaints, the JPP decided there would be no re-election in the Julau division polls.
