PUTRAJAYA – Unsatisfied parties should bring and dispute the 15th general election (GE15) results in court if there were evidence of corruption, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

He said the court is the most appropriate place to solve any issues of dissatisfaction towards election results, especially those of GE15 last November.

“If dissatisfied, go on bring the case to court and prove why the results should be annulled due to corrupt exercise,” he told a press conference after attending the Plantation and Commodities Ministry’s New Year Mandate ceremony here today.

Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his recent tweet claimed that GE15 was the most corrupt of all elections held in Malaysia as bribes were given openly to the voters just before they went in to vote.

Fadillah, who is also Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu Sarawak senior vice-president, said anyone can make such a claim without providing solid evidence.

“We have many agencies to handle such issues. Let them do their job. If there is a case, let them file it in court,” he added. – Bernama, January 26, 2023
