Omar Mohd Subair, who took the stand at the public hearing, admitted that he was a voter after he was grilled by conducting officer Jamil Aripin who poked holes in his statement.
"After receiving your birth certificate, you applied to change to a blue identity card (citizen) in 1999 and the NRD (National Registration Department) issued you a temporary receipt containing 12 digit numbers.
"Without the knowledge of Election Commission, you passed off the 12 digit number in the receipt, which was a red identity card number, as a blue one and registered as a voter," said Jamil as a nervous Omar concurred.
Omar proceeded to register as a voter in 1991 and subsequently voted in the 1999 and 2004 general elections as well as the 1994 Sabah state elections.
Jamil explained that Omar had exploited a flaw as the 12-digit system was implemented in the same year - 1999.
He said the EC, which was in the process of updating to this new system, failed to cross reference the new 12-digit numbers with the old identity card numbers which the prefix 'H', indicating that they are red ICs.
