KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 — A DAP lawmaker claimed today the Election Commission’s (EC) first redelineation proposal, which was superseded by a second proposal, could still resurface in Parliament when the report is tabled in this meeting.

EC’s first proposal, which has changes in the boundaries to 18 parliamentary constituencies in Selangor, encountered several objections and was amended to a newer proposal that only affects five federal seats in the state.

However, DAP’s Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming claimed today that the first proposal could still be included in the final report expected to be tabled in Parliament next week.

"We have received information that, when it comes to Selangor, the first proposal could be part of the report,” he told reporters during a press conference outside Dewan Rakyat.

Ong said that his party’s representatives will do "all they can” to oppose such a move, both in the Dewan Rakyat and outside.

DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang said that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak could always reinstate elements from the first proposal.

The older proposals, among others, would see a proposed Damansara parliamentary seat, replacing the current Petaling Jaya Utara seat, with over 150,000 voters.

"The proposed seat will have four times more voters than Sabak Bernam and about 10 times that of Putrajaya,” he said.

Lim also sought a guarantee that Putrajaya will not reinstate the first proposal, which he called "ridiculous”.
