No high expectation from EC chairman

From Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu, ensiklopedia bebas.
Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof (lahir 24 Januari 1950) merupakan rakyat Malaysia yang berbangsa Melayu dan dilahirkan di Sabak Bernam, Selangor pada 24 Januari 1950. Beliau merupakan pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Malaysia bermula pada 31 Disember 2008. Pada masa ini, beliau memegang jawatan Pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya (SPR). Beliau, yang sebelum bersara wajib pada 24 Januari 2006 yang lalu telah berkhidmat sebagai Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) Malaysia, dan dilantik semula memegang jawatan yang sama secara kontrak.
If you ask me who is Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof before 13th February 2009, I will tell you I have no idea about him, or he could be just another high ranking civil servant.

But if you ask me the same question again after 13th February, my answer will be very different, that he is the Chairman of Election Commission (EC), who had acted ultra vires by unconstitutionally rejecting the Perak State Assembly Speaker’s decision on the resignation of two PKR state assemblymen/executive councilors and also an EC chairman who fixes the Bukit Selambau and Bukit Gantang by-election dates erve the political interests of UMNO.

Well, if you say that our police force and EC are bias, then let's make no mistake about it. The police force is placed under Home Affairs Ministry (KDN), publication licenses are also placed under the portfolio of this ministry. And now we have a former Chief Secretary of this ministry serving as EC Chairman.

I really do not have high expectations onhim.
