Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the MCMC is prepared to assist the Election Commission in investigating allegations of vote-buying in Chuah.
Harian Metro reported Fahmi (above) as saying yesterday that the MCMC can provide technical assistance and conduct forensic analysis on the videos uploaded.
Fahmi’s party PKR has been accused of being behind the vote-buying.
Pahang’s Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah wants community service sentences as an alternative to dealing with syariah criminal offences.
According to an article published on the Pahang royalty’s official website, the ruler said punishment should not be viewed solely as retribution, but as a means to encourage reflection and rehabilitation.
"We are now moving towards a new era in syariah legal development that emphasises a more progressive and rehabilitative approach,” he said yesterday while chairing the 199th meeting of the Pahang Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council. - Mkini
