"Our officer was  told that his duty was done there and he should leave," says media officer Ong Jing Cheng.
"We were informed that the EC officers there did not print out the electoral roll and only recorded voter's information from the computer on a piece of paper with the 1Malaysia logo."
The polling station is Palong Timur 140/01/03 at SK Palong Timur 1.

PKR is mobilising its people to put pressure on the polling station which is 40km from town, deep within an oil palm plantation.



3pm: Penang - The DAP's Tanjong candidate Ng Wei Aik has lodged a report with the EC because ballot papers were not stamped with the official stamp.

Ng, who is the Penang DAP secretary, said complaints were received from three locations or polling centres:

- SJK(T)) Jalan Sungai (under the Jelutong parliament constituency)

- SJK(C) kong Min Cawangan Kedua (under the Bukit Gelugor constituency) and

- SK Taman Sejahtera under the Bukit Mertajam constituency.

Penang EC deputy director Mohd Faiz Syazwan Zainal Abidin says some ballot papers were not stamped due to the "negligence" of some officers.

"Whether stamped or not, we will accept the papers as it is according to the EC regulations," he says.
