Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh has dared an Umno delegate to lodge a police report over the latter's claims that DAP was bringing in phantom voters from China.

Ramkarpal said Bukit Gelugor Umno delegate Omar Faudzar's allegations were completely baseless.

"He has provided not an iota of evidence to substantiate his claim which is capable of inciting hatred against the DAP.

"Omar further claimed that he was informed that a Chinese national had obtained a MyKad and had voted in Selangor.

"He should lodge a police report if indeed he has such information as such a matter is no doubt, serious," the DAP legal bureau chairperson said in a statement tonight.

A National Audit Department report for 2018 found that 95 percent of Chinese and Indian tourists who entered Malaysia between 2016 and 2018 had no record of leaving the country.

Omar had cited this as well as reports of a MyKad syndicate operating out of Penang, claiming that DAP was bringing in phantom voters from China.

Ramkarpal said Omar should be investigated by authorities for a statement that was "clearly provocation with intent to incite unrest."

The audit report, meanwhile, had found that 79,799 Chinese tourists had arrived through the Malaysian immigration system, while a total 76,258 or 95.6 percent had no records of exit dates.

However, Immigration Department director-general Khairul Dzaimee Daud later said the figures were wrong as only 18,341 individuals have yet to leave the country.
