CAMERON POLLS DAY 3 | It is day three of the campaign, but not all four Cameron Highlands by-election candidates seem to be picking up the pace.
Pakatan Harapan's M Manogaran is scheduled to split his time between the Tanah Rata and Jelai state constituencies, spending time at several PAS strongholds.
Independents Wong Seng Yee and Sallehudin Ab Talib also have a full day ahead of them.
However, BN has announced a grand total of zero events to the media.
Malaysiakini brings you live reports of the campaigning on the ground.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Manogaran says will declare volunteers' food, petrol money to EC
- Najib joining BN campaign trail, says report
No need lodge report over volunteers' reimbursements - Manogaran
9.15am: Sungai Koyan 2, Jelai - Pakatan Harapan candidate M Manogaran dismisses the "cash handouts" incident, saying it is not a big deal.
"The issue we are facing now is not a big problem. Handing out money to a volunteer for food and transport is not an offence under the law.
"The money was a part of our campaign spending and it will be included in our account declaration to the Election Commission," he tells the media on a walkabout here.
The DAP politician adds that opposition leaders need not raise this issue or "waste time" reporting it to the police as Harapan is committed to running a clean campaign.
Yesterday, representatives from MIC Youth and Pahang Umno Youth lodged police and MACC reports after photographs depicting a woman in a red Cameron Highlands Harapan T-shirt handing out money went viral on social media.
Ex-PM Najib expected to join campaign on Jan 18
7am: Sungai Koyan - Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak will join the campaign trail, news portal The Malaysian Insight reports.
The Pekan MP, whose father and former prime minister Abdul Razak Hussein established Felda, is expected to canvas for Malay votes from Jan 18 to 20 in both Jelai and Tanah Rata state constituencies.
There are three Felda villages in Jelai, namely Sungai Koyan 1, 2 and 3.
Yesterday, DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang said he got wind of news Najib will campaign for BN together with Jelai assemblyperson and Pahang Menteri Besar Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail. - Mkini
