National Fatwa Council OKed indelible ink for elections

Seems like the BN's attempt to prevent the Elections Commission from implementing the use of indelible ink for elections this country has hit a snag. Earlier, under the most ridiculous of reasons, the BN has thrown the request to the National Fatwa Council as they're worried that it will be unIslamic. Never mind the fact that it has been used in most countries with large Muslim population, as well as in largely Islamic countries. Even PAS couldn't resist laughing about it. But now it seems like the Fatwa Council has given the thumbs up for the proposal. Now the decision is back in the EC's court. Let's see if they will have spine to implement it, considering the vehement protests from BN who has the most to lose on preventing voters from multiple voting.
