BN kept alive by defiled electoral roll

For BN the stakes are too high, and the mere thought of Putrajaya going into the hands of the opposition is dreadfully unthinkable. The BN is, therefore, now on a psywar, using every trick in the  book to demonise Bersih, including the ridiculous tactic of planting communist materials to try give the movement a negative image.

The first reason is the fact that the electoral roll is actually very dirty, soiled and polluted with a lot of creative handiworks of the BN. And everybody knows this. Even the Election Commission admits it, or else why would it want to open its doors for talks with Bersih?  The proofs of the election system being manipulated are many, and election fraud and irregularities are general knowledge in Malaysia.
