LARUT: Anyone with information on alleged corruption or bribery during the postal voting process in any constituency has been urged to lodge a report with the authorities.
Home minister Hamzah Zainudin said those who made the allegations need to provide evidence to enable action to be taken.
“If it is true that they were paid (to vote), we urge them to make a report so that the authorities can conduct an in-depth investigation.
“The investigation will be conducted fairly, no matter where it happened.
“So if they are confident (about the allegations), please furnish the evidence, and we will take action in accordance with the law,” he told reporters at a programme at the Selama district police headquarters here today.
Yesterday, Pakatan Harapan chairman Anwar Ibrahim had claimed that there were military personnel, especially in the Bera parliamentary constituency, who had already cast their votes for the 15th general election and were paid RM300 to do so.
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the allegation was a lie and a malicious accusation against the armed forces.
He said it had tarnished the image of the security forces and insulted the military personnel, not only in Bera, but also nationwide. - FMT
