KUALA LUMPUR – Pakatan Harapan (PH) communication director Fahmi Fadzil today reminded Bersatu members and its president Tan Sri Muhiyiddin Yassin not to be “two-faced” regarding investigations into “lavish” spending during the 15th general election (GE15).

He said anyone was free to lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should they suspect any political party to have engaged in irregularities.

“Perhaps a gentle reminder to them (Bersatu’s members) that they need to remind their party president what is fair... if it is fair at one time, it should be fair at other times as well,” he said after attending the Lembah Pantai Chinese New Year open house in Taman Seri Sentosa here today.

The Lembah Pantai MP said this in response to a report lodged by Puchong Bersatu division chief Mohd Shukor Mustaffa, alleging that PH and ally Barisan Nasional had spent lavishly during campaigning in GE15.

Separately, Fahmi denied talks with Pejuang regarding its cooperation with PH in the upcoming state elections. 

“PH’s focus for now is to strengthen the unity government, and we see some principles and things are priority.

“PH, as far as I know, has not had any discussion about this (with Pejuang). The issue of unrest in any party is an internal issue. We do not want to interfere.”

Last month, Pejuang president Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir said political cooperation with PH or Perikatan Nasional was one of the matters discussed during the party’s general assembly. – Bernama, February 12, 2023
