Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta.  Lolly Suhenty, a member of the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), said that the agency are currently reviewing reports of intimidation during the Polling Station Re-Voting (PSU) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "We're thoroughly examining all reported cases of intimidation. We won't tolerate any form of intimidation, especially directed towards election supervisors. We're actively discussing our approach," she said Lolly on Thursday (14/3/2024). Lolly rejected claims that Bawaslu has not yet coordinated with the Indonesian National Police(INP)  regarding these incidents. "Local authorities and our police are aware of the situation. We're closely monitoring the developments," she added, as reported by antaranews.com. Previously, Bawaslu Chairman Rahmat Bagja mentioned the possibility of legal action against those responsible for intimidation during the Kuala Lumpur PSU. "We're considering legal action against the perpetrators. However, it depends on local authorities and the Integrated Law Enforcement Center's jurisdiction," Bagja said. He suggested that the case might involve the Malaysian police if necessary. "We may involve Malaysian authorities, particularly the Royal Malaysian Police," Bagja said. He said that efforts to identify and address instances of intimidation is ongoing, acknowledging that he too faced intimidation during the  PSU in Kuala Lumpur. "Bawaslu is committed to ensuring fair elections. Intimidation won't deter us from our duty," he asserted. The General Election Commission (KPU) conducted the  PSU  in Kuala Lumpur on 10 March 2024, using both Ballot Box (KSK) and Polling Stations (TPS) methods. The total voter count for these methods reached 62,217, with 42,372 from TPS and 19,845 from KSK. Following administrative violations discovered by the  Overseas Election Committee (PPLN) in Kuala Lumpur, Bawaslu recommended a PSU in Kuala Lumpur. According to KPU Regulation Number 3 of 2022, the national vote recapitulation for the 2024 Election will occur from 15 to 20 March 2024. (mg/inp/pr/nm)
