Misinformation : SPR using MyKad reader machines to keep out Chinese/Indian voters

Circulated message : Ensure your MyKad is machine readable. Friday, I went to the bank was surprised all their card reader could not read my NRIC. Good to discover it before election day otherwise, I could not vote! CIMB bank told me lately, many chinese/indian IC not readable.

Bersih’s response : Not true . SPR do not use machines to read your MyKad. Verification of identity is done by Clerk (kerani) 1
