Democracy crisis in Malaysia: foreign workers were employed for fraud voting in Malaysian General Election

"Democracy crisis in Malaysia: foreign workers were employed for fraud voting in Malaysian General Election" is a closed petition on the We the People site that likely wanted the White House to make a statement concerning alleged fraud voting in the Malaysian general election of 2013. The main accusation was that Malaysia's National Coalition Front had bribed the country of Bangladesh to deport about 600,000 people back to Malaysia by which they were also 'employed to vote' in the election, which would be illegal. The petition started on May 4, 2013 and ended on August 30, 2013 and had 223,913 signatures.

Orginal prompt:
"Dear all,

We are the concerned citizens of Malaysia, and hereby we are writing you a letter, which we need your attention urgently and international solidarity supports.

The regime of Malaysia's National Coalition Front (Barisan Nasional), had bribed to the official recruitment agency of Bangladesh, to allow a huge number of Bangladeshi workers (estimated about 600,000 people) deported from their homeland to Malaysia for such despicable and non democratic action.

We are hereby requesting ladies and gentlemen to provide solidarity supports and necessary assistances for us, to ensure the election can be conducted in clean and fair manners. For more information and evidence, here is the news link: http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-967755.

Long live democracy.

Regards,

Kuan-Ping Ang and etc" - K. A., May 04, 2013

We continue to follow developments in Malaysia and to underscore that every government has the responsibility to fully protect the civil and political rights of its citizens.

The United States deeply values its strong bilateral relationship with Malaysia, and looks forward to continuing to expand our ties to promote peace and prosperity for our peoples.
