PUTRAJAYA – Barisan Nasional’s (BN) candidate for Putrajaya Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has denied an allegation that those returning to the parliamentary seat to cast their ballots this Saturday will receive RM300 in travel claims.

He said a police report was lodged yesterday regarding the allegation that was spread on WhatsApp.

“It’s slander and I did not do that. I hope those contesting the seat don’t play the slander game,” he told reporters after observing the early voting process at the Putrajaya district police headquarters here today.

He stressed that BN nor himself did not provide payments to voters as it was a breach of the Election Offences Act 1954.

Putrajaya police chief A. Asmadi Abdul Aziz when contacted confirmed receiving the report.

He said the case was referred to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to block the travel claim form link.

Meanwhile, Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) candidate for Putrajaya, Datuk Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, who also visited the district police headquarters to observe the voting process, told reporters that PN would provide transportation for voters on polling day to ensure a high voter turnout. – Bernama, November 15, 2022
