PKR Permatang Pauh by-election candidate Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail meeting voters yesterday. A minister has said he will withhold funds to the constituency if it goes back to PKR. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Hasnoor Hussain, May 4, 2015.
Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s remark about not granting approvals for agriculture-related projects if PKR won the Permatang Pauh by-election was not a form of bribery, the Election Commission (EC) said.
Its chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof, told The Malaysian Insider voters needed to prove that they were influenced and swayed by the agricultural and agro-based industry minister's statement to the point that they voted for Barisan Nasional instead of PKR.
"Whether the remark can be classified under Section 10 of the 1954 Election Act depends on who it was intended to and must be proven that it had induced the Permatang Pauh folk to vote for BN."
