IPOH, Malaysia: It was a scary moment for Barisan Nasional supporters when incumbent Kuala Kangsar MP Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz left one of her forms unsigned during nomination.

Kuala Kangsar returning officer Datuk Mohd Ghazali Jalal said the issue cropped up when an agent for PAS candidate, Dr Khairudin Abd Malik, noticed that Rafidah failed to sign one of the nomination forms.

"She signed on the forms that she submitted to me but she forgot to sign the form that was put on display during objection period," he said on nomination day Sunday.

Mohd Ghazali said the matter was resolved after a check with the Elections Commission that decided it was just a "technicality issue".

"The objection was therefore rejected," he said, adding that nomination for Kuala Kangsar constituency was announced at 11.50am.

Dr Khairudin is facing Rafidah in a straight fight for the parliamentary seat which the incumbent is contesting for the seventh term this round.
