Bukit Gantang - 70 Houses with 15 or More Voters

SPR appears to have discarded or hidden information about voters's street names. In Bukit Gantang, 70 "big houses" have 15 or more voters, registered with specific house numbers but many without street names. Two clusters stand out. There are 31 such houses in Changkat Jering/Larut Tin/Taman Sungai Mas. Another 20 such houses are located in Kuala Sapetang/Kamunting Station/Taman Mewah. We make some suggestions about how observers can document possible SPR negligence with camera phones.

The last blog entry was about addresses WITHOUT house numbers, but with many voters (over 200); such non-specific addresses tend to have very large number of voters.

This blog entry is about localities WITH house number but also many voters (over 15 voters in one house). These 70 "big houses" contain two clusters of houses in modern-sounding housing estates, which we will highlight in Tables B and C. It appears their street names (eg, Jalan 11) are missing, even though they look like modern housing estates (not old kampong) from their names and satellite maps.

Table A gives an overview that:

• In Bukit Gantang, 70 houses, with specific house numbers, appear to have 15 or more voters "living" in these "big" houses.
• 7 of these are registered with 30 or more voters.
  
• A possible explanation: SPR may not have properly registered these voters with their "Jalan" or "Lorong" name and numbers.
• Separately, SPR has not been consistent with the formats of house numbering. We have had to consolidate and clean up house number variations such as: A39, A 39, A-39, and NO A39 in 059/13/06/001 or Bukit Gantang / Kuala Sapetang / Kampong Menteri /Kampong Mentri Kuala Sapetang.

Cluster 1: Taman Sungai Mas.

Table B shows that:

• A cluster of 31 houses with specific house numbers (NoRumah) are registered with 15 or voters living in them!
  
• They are all located at locality code (Kodlokaliti) 059/14/06/005, ie, P059 Bukit Gantang's Changkat Jering (N14), in Larut Tin DM, and in Taman Sungai Mas.
• For example:
  
• 24 voters are registered at house number 1, at Changkat Jering/Larut Tin/Taman Sungai Mas
• 29 voters are registered at house number 2, at Changkat Jering/Larut Tin/Taman Sungai Mas
• 26 voters are registered at house number 3, at Changkat Jering/Larut Tin/Taman Sungai Mas
• etc
  

• Our guesses:
  
• This address looks like a modern housing estate, hence should have had their house numbers registered.
  
• Their "Lorong" or "Jalan" names and numbers appear to be missing.
• When we search Google for "perak 'taman sungai mas' lorong or jalan" we readily found specific examples of Lorong or Jalan names and numbers (eg, Jalan 11) for this housing estate.
  

• The housing estate appears to be located here in WikiMapia.org map.
• They don't look like long houses,
• They don't look like traditional kampong address,
• They don't look like rural residents who have to go to post office to pick up mail,
• They don't look like high-rise apartments (which in any case are new buildings that should have been registered with the proper "block" numbers).

• Our question: Had SPR been negligent and not properly registering and publishing these voter's "Lorong/Jalan" names and numbers?
  

• If SPR had strictly followed a voters' ICs (MyKad) because the ICs contain incomplete address, how can the National Registration Department be so careless about the full address?

How to check possible SPR negligence in registering voter house number?

• Let's check voter IC's addresses against SPR's voter roll info for Taman Sungai Mas (Table B) and Taman Mewah (Table C)!
• Specific individual voter details as published by SPR are available for field checking at these 2 places.

• If we can document that these voters' ICs contain the house number BUT SPR's data do not, there would be a major case to be made and presented to the MPs and media to make SPR improve the voter's roll, even without asking for laws to be changed.

• To make such a case if any, observers should get photocopy/ phone-photo of voters who
• are registered WITHOUT NoRumah or locality details,
  
• BUT do have such details in the ICs.

• Camera phone would be an advantage, because of these reasons:
• they are handy for taking pictures; they can store a few dozen, and pictures can be sent directly or downloaded to PC, email, and blog sites (with some details blurred out to protect privacy).
  
• voters may be more comfortable with camera phone, because not looking like photocopy, camera pictures can be made to avoid forgery cases. Photo taker can make sure of this with someone holding the MyKad with a thumb, and include the thumb/finger inside the photo.

• If observer obtains photocopy of IC, the observers should cross-out the copy with double lines, then write the purpose in the blank space in the center. An experienced Streamyx distributor had suggested that IC copies be crossed out in this way in service applications, such as for Streamyx services. We should then write in the center of the IC copy, in the blank space, eg, "For Streamyx only." This is to enssure that the IC photocopy would be more difficult to be misused.

Cluster 2: Taman Mewah.

The story in Table C is similar to Table B:

• A cluster of 20 houses with specific house numbers (NoRumah) are registered with 15 or voters living in them!
  
• They are all located at locality code (Kodlokaliti) 059/13/01/011, ie, P059 Bukit Gantang's Kuala Sapetang (N13), in Kamunting Station DM, and in Taman Mewah.
• For example:
  
• 19 voters are registered at house number 1, at Kuala Sapetang/Kamunting Station/Taman Mewah
• 28 voters are registered at house number 2, at Kuala Sapetang/Kamunting Station/Taman Mewah
• 29 voters are registered at house number 3, at Kuala Sapetang/Kamunting Station/Taman Mewah

• Their "Lorong" or "Jalan" names and numbers appear to be missing.
• When we google for "perak 'taman mewah' lorong or jalan" we readily found specific examples of "Lorong/Jalan" names and numbers (eg, Lorong Mewah 19) for addresses in this locality.

• The housing estate appears to be located here in WikiMapia.org map.
