KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 – Looks like Prime  Minister   Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has   another headache to add to his expanding cluster.

At 11.30am today, the Coalition for Clean and Fair  Elections (Bersih) and National Institute for Electoral   Integrity (NIEI) lodged a report at the Dang  Wangi  district police headquarters against the  government over the cancellation of the  indelible ink at the March general elections.

Faisal Mustaffa and Amin Iskandar, from Bersih and NIEI respectively, in their joint report named the prime minister, Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Ab Rashid Ab Rahman and Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan as the parties responsible for causing the cancellation of the indelible ink, bought at a cost of RM2.4 million from India.
