The threat of not able to use the Rocket symbol now hangs over all DAP potential candidates for the up-coming election. It's a shame as ROS has agreed to postpone the hearing till after the election. But they have the gall to issue the letter to suspend the CEC of DAP until then.
What does that mean? It means that there is currently no recognised leadership in DAP therefore making it impossible on legal grounds for it to issue authorisation to contest under the DAP banner or use the Rocket Symbol. And our Main Stream Media on the roll saying that EC confirms VERBALLY that DAP can use the symbol. No official or written letter. How apt!
It may end up in a few scenarios if DAP continue to try to use their Rocket Symbol:
1. To be declared on NOMINATION DAY by EC that the authorization letter is not valid therefore all DAP candidates will be declared INDEPENDENT and have to use various symbols. Directly this will impact campaigning as there will be plentiful of independent candidates and will confuse voters.
2. After nomination day and before election, it is declared that it is not legal to use the symbol therefore disqualifying all DAP candidates and banning the use of the Rocket Symbol on the grounds that the authorization is illegal.
3. After Election day, UMNO-BN go to court and get the court to declare the results where DAP won illegal and void as they have no authorization to use the Rocket Symbol.
How low have they stooped. When UMNO party elections were tainted by money politics, ROS stand by the side and did nothing and UMNO say that its internal matters. Now DAP did a technical error and they want their blood by hook or by crook.
This is abominable and disgusting. I hope every Malaysian is disgusted at this current situation and will continue to support change and vote which ever logo they will end up using to avoid the above scenarios.
