If you were in Election Commission Chairman Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman's shoes, would you act against a cabinet's 'suggestion'? He is afterall a makan gaji servant of the government.
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had refuted Rashid's claim that the cabinet had rejected the use of indelible ink on the day Parliament was dissolved. "It was not a directive. The cabinet only gave its views to the EC, and the EC was the one which made the final decision," Abdullah said. (See NST, 18/5/08)
Ah so, the cabinet had conveyed a suggestion (meaning a hint, or an idea or response so induced) to Rashid. So, what did the cabinet expect Rashid to do? Brush it aside?
That aside, what has happened to the 48,000 bottles of ink that the EC imported at a cost of RM2.4 million?
