Kelantan PAS information chief Mohamed Fadzli Hassan claimed that the party detected a syndicate buying unused postal votes with prices up to RM300 per ballot paper, RM200 allocated for the seller and RM100 for the running agent.
“Postal voters met by PAS activists revealed that a certain party had offered some amount of payment for the unmarked ballot papers,” he said, adding that the syndicate was detected to be operating in the Bachok, Machang and Tumpat parliamentary constituencies.
Fadzli described the matter as serious and a threat to the country’s democratic system.
Kelantan PAS election director Wan Nick Wan Yusoff meanwhile urged the authorities to investigate the matter immediately.
In the just concluded polls, some 84 percent of 13,268,002 registered voters in the country cast their ballots, and these included those who voted in advance, among them 240,000 Election Commision workers.
Meanwhile, Kelantan PAS Youth's legal bureau head Mohd Abdul Rashid Yah claimed to have received reports that several teachers using postal voting had been forced to cast their votes in front of the district education officer.
“In fact, there were complainants who claimed that the head of department had asked for the postal ballots to be passed to their bosses for collection. This violates Article 119 of Federal Constitution,” he added.
