Anwar Alleges Some Military Personnel Voted Today Got Rm300

---

 


PKR president Anwar Ibrahim today alleged that military personnel who cast their early votes for the 15th general election (GE15) in caretaker prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's parliamentary seat of Bera were paid RM300 each to do so.
Speaking at an event in Kuala Terengganu today, the Pakatan Harapan chairperson claimed that he has received "authentic information" that military personnel and postal voters have started voting this morning, which is in violation of the Election Commission’s (EC) regulations.
"Especially, (voters) in Bera parliamentary seat are paid RM300," he told about 100 attendees at the event.
"I would like to advise EC to take stern action so that our polls are not compromised," said Anwar.
"Apparently, Ismail Sabri and Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein are worried. They know that BN is in its worst situation and they conspire with Perikatan Nasional in resorting to this.
"I ask this matter to be rectified, meaning that the ballots cast today by the military and police must be cancelled – and allow them to revote on Nov 15," urged Anwar.
Report to MACC, EC says
Malaysiakini has attempted to contact Ismail Sabri's aide for comments.
Anwar questioned why the EC allegedly allowed the voting process to go on today, when early voting was scheduled on Nov 15.
"How did this (early voting) happen today? I'm worried there was money, pressure, and fraud involved," he alleged.
Meanwhile, the EC has responded to Anwar's allegation, saying whoever has evidence of alleged bribery during the postal voting in Bera, should present the information with evidence to the MACC. - Mkini
