Xenophon warns of Malaysia election fraud Senator Nick Xenophon has warned of possible voter fraud in Malaysia's national election. THERE is clear momentum for a change of government in Malaysia but the election may be stolen because of widespread voter fraud, independent Senator Nick Xenophon says. Sunday's election is the first in Malaysia's 56 years of independence in which the only government the country has known faces possible defeat. Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has warned only fraud can stop him from scoring a historic election win. His friend, Senator Xenophon, was deported as a security risk when he arrived in Malaysia in February as part of an unofficial parliamentary delegation to review the country's electoral system. The South Australian senator says there's "clear momentum" for a change of government but he has concerns. "The election could well be stolen because of widespread election fraud, gerrymandering," he told Sky News on Sunday. Senator Xenophon remains on a Malaysian ban list.
