Indelible ink incinerated, Liew tells dewan

THE indelible ink bought for use in the 12th general election has been disposed of through incineration.

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Liew Vui Keong said this was the prescribed procedure stated in the Government Regulations.

Liew said the ink could not be used due to security and legal problems.

The stock was disposed of on Nov 25, he said in a written reply to a question by Senator Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim on the status of the indelible ink.

There had been plans to sell the ink but it could not as their expiry date had passed.

On inquests that had not been carried out or were postponed, Liew said the proceedings encountered problems related to absent witnesses or those who could not be traced.

“No specific action is taken to speed up the inquests besides issuing arrest warrants for witnesses,” he said in a written reply to another question by Tunku Abdul Aziz.
