“We want the police to take action against him. We view these as bribes to attract voters.
“This is cheating, and we want to keep the election clean and fair,” he tells the media after filing the report at the Sentul district police station.
Sabda describes this as Naganathan’s art and style of politicking.
He says the police can investigate the allegations under the Elections Act 1954 and take the necessary action against Naganathan.
Meanwhile, Pakatan Harapan’s Batu candidate P Prabakaran, when contacted about the matter, says according to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 1957/09, candidates are not allowed to even hand out food and drinks.

He explains that a night market is a place for business, so it’s not appropriate for the candidates to disturb those businesses by visiting successively.

5.33pm: BN candidate for the Pengkalan Chepa parliamentary seat in GE15, Dr Mohd Hafiezulniezam Mohd Hasdin, is relieved that questions regarding his academic qualification have been put to rest.
"Thank God, the truth has finally been revealed," Berita Harian quoted Hafiezulniezam, who's fondly known as Dr Hafiz, as saying today.
Last Saturday, he lodged a police report against claims that he was an unqualified doctor.
The report was against a social media post that alleged Hafiz did not complete his studies in university, and thus, is unqualified to use the term “Dr” before his name.
The medical Faculty of the Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta had since confirmed that Hafiz was indeed its alumnus between the years 2004 and 2009, and that his degree is recognised by the university.
"I hope those who slandered me regarding my degree will apologise to me, and fix the situation if they did it for their own gain.
"I will forgive them. My mission is to only serve the people of Pengkalan Chepa if I win (the parliamentary seat) in GE15, " he reportedly told the Malay daily.

Meanwhile, a group of young voters collectively said Helmy was the more attractive candidate for them.
The cooking class was organised by Muar’s Community Development Department (Kemas) where they taught the Malay crowd how to make Indian delicacies like vadai and ladoos.
Both Helmy and Sungai Balang assemblyperson Selamat Takim stopped by as part of their campaigning today, and gleefully joined in to fry vadais.

5pm: Federal Territories MIC chairperson Simon Rajah lodges a police report against Harapan's Batu candidate P Prabakaran for allegedly slandering the MIC by claiming the party had offered him RM10 million to join their fold in 2020.
According to a recording of his speech uploaded on TikTok, the incumbent Batu MP claimed he was also offered money to join Bersatu but rejected these deals because he did not want to "betray the people's mandate".
Federal Territories MIC chairperson Simon RajahSimon says even if it was true that MIC was offering cash for defections, Prabakaran was not “important enough” to attract such a lucrative offer.
“He is afraid that Tian Chua (a former PKR MP for Batu who is contesting as an independent) will get the PKR and Chinese votes, so he has to say things like this to get sympathy votes."
Simon added he is willing to retract the report if Prabakaran apologises for his "childish" move.
Incumbent Batu MP P PrabakaranHowever, Prabakaran stands by his statement and says he can furnish evidence of the offer.
Police are investigating the matter under Section 500 of the Penal Code.
‘MCA optimistic of springing a surprise in Pahang’

MCA president Wee Ka Siong says the eight, who mostly are new faces, are part of BN’s strategy to win over the hearts of voters and bring a breath of fresh air to the party’s leadership.
MCA president Wee Ka Siong (centre)"All candidates are chosen based on their contribution and compatibility with the local community, and as youths, they have great potential,” Bernama reported him as saying.
Wee expresses his hope that the strategy of swapping seats with Umno, which allowed MCA Indera Mahkota chief Quek Tai Seong to contest the Indera Mahkota parliamentary seat will allow BN to retake the constituency.
During the 14th general election (GE14) in 2018, MCA was given the Kuantan seat to contest while Umno contested the Indera Mahkota seat, but both candidates lost to their PKR rivals.
This GE15, the Kuantan seat will be contested by Kuantan Umno chief Ab Hamid Mohd Nazahar.
Besides Quek, MCA secretary-general Chong Sin Woon will stand in Raub while six other candidates are contesting various state seats.
Five of them are new faces -Wong Yap Wah in Tanah Rata, Lim Teck Hoe (Tras), Wong Tze Shiang (Mentakab), Wong Siew Mun (Bilut) and Yee Cheng Hwa (Triang) while Tee Choon Ser is contesting for the second time in Teruntum.
Polling centres in PPR Kerinchi and Kampung Pasir Baru football fields unsafe - Fahmi
4.25pm: Harapan's Lembah Pantai candidate Fahmi Fadzil is concerned over two polling centres in the constituency, which he says is at risk of flooding and security breach on polling day.
The Election Commission is erecting large tents with plywood flooring at the PPR Kerinchi and Kampung Pasir Baru football fields to turn them into two polling stations, serving about 10,000 voters in total.
This is about 10 percent of the total number of voters in the constituency, he says.
Fahmi says in the past year, heavy rains have twice flooded Kampung Pasir Baru, while repair works on a flood mitigation bund near the field are still ongoing.
"Residents, including Umno members, have told me they disagree with this field being a polling centre for these reasons," he says.
The PPR Kerinchi football field is also very dark at night and does not have secure fencing, risking safety of the ballot boxes on polling day and during the vote count, he adds.
Fahmi says the Pantai Hillpark community centre, located two kilometres away, is a better alternative and would save the field from being severely damaged, like what happened in 2018 after it was used for a government event.
The rehabilitation cost was up to RM100,000, he says, and some parts are still damaged and becomes muddy even with a slight drizzle, making it difficult for those with mobility issues to access.

Khairy Jamaluddin (centre), Annuar Musa (left) and Nor OmarAnnuar urges Sungai Buloh voters to recognise Khairy's good track record as a health minister in the last federal government.
"Not many ministers 'plunge' into losing areas, despite gaining a majority of tens of thousands in the seat he won in the 14th general election (GE14).
"Malaysia needs quality leaders, not those involved in corruption because the next challenge is to raise Malaysia to become a great country and this cannot be done by corrupt people," says Annuar.
Khaled didn’t help Kota Tinggi as MB, PN leader alleges
4.10pm: A former Umno assemblyperson chides party vice-president Khaled Nordin for contesting in Kota Tinggi despite allegedly ignoring the constituency when the latter served as Johor menteri besar.
Kota Tinggi PN chief Rasman Ithnain - who was BN's Sedili assemblyperson in Kota Tinggi from 2008 to 2018 - says among the issues ignored by Khaled were water supply matters and housing for second-generation Felda settlers.
Umno vice-president Noh Omar"Throughout his time as menteri besar and Johor Umno chief, he did not care about the problems of Kota Tinggi residents," he says in a statement.
Kota Tinggi is seen as a safe seat for Khaled - who was defeated in 2018 when he contested in Pasir Gudang.
During the 2022 Johor state election, BN won both state seats under Kota Tinggi, including Sedili - and received 63 percent of votes in the parliament constituency overall, compared to 32 percent by PN.
