Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi violated the Election Offences Act 1954 by spending more than the ceiling sum of RM200,000 in his campaigning during the 13th general election, PKR has alleged.
"There is a video circulating (on the Internet) that shows Zahid (left) saying that he gave RM100 and a 5kg bag of rice to 24,000 people in Bagan Datoh," PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli said today.

At a press conference at party headquarters in Petaling Jaya, Rafizi said according to his calculation, the expenses for that one act of largess alone would be more than RM200,000.
This, he claimed, was a violation of the rules for candidates in the Election Offences Act.
Based on this, PKR will file an election petition this week.
Rafizi said he would reveal the related evidence linked to this petition - and others - at a press conference on Wednesday.
PKR has signalled its intention to file 18 more petitions, while Pakatan will file 35 in all.
