‘Duit raya’ cancelled for govt’s KKB open house

8am: The gifting of ”duit raya” at the state government’s Hari Raya open house event in Kuala Kubu Baharu was cancelled to avoid prejudice, said Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.

"We have received advice and feedback, and we don't want people to say bad things, so the decision (to cancel giving the money) was taken.

"As I said earlier, we listen to feedback from all parties," Amirudin told reporters after attending the open house last night.

He was responding to an allegation by electoral watchdog Bersih that the state government had committed election offences by holding the open house and listing “duit raya” as part of the agenda. - Mkini
