I was in a rush – Manogaran apologises for shirt blunder
1.30pm: SK Betau - M Manoragan admits that it was a mistake to wear a shirt with the Pakatan Harapan logo.
“It was my personal mistake. It was early in the morning and I was rushing. I immediately left the polling centre when the (EC) officer told me to,” he adds.
Manogaran, who was escorted out of the polling centre by EC officers, also denies Umno acting deputy president Ismail Sabri Yaakob's claim that Harapan no longer cares about following the law.
“No. We follow the law. This is my mistake. I am sorry,” he says.
Police report filed over 'racist' banner
2.30pm: SK Kampung Keledek – DAP Youth files a police report over a banner attributed to Pakatan Harapan, which it claims is racist.
The banner which featured the images of Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Harapan candidate M Manogaran states, “I am confident Pakatan can win even without the votes of the Orang Asal and Malays.”
The banner has since been removed.
