MALACCA POLLS | Two Pakatan Harapan candidates today lodged police reports after they suspected their handphones were hacked to send threatening messages to voters.
In a statement issued by Harapan, the candidates - Gue Teck (Kelebang) and Prasanth Kumar Brakasam (Rim) - were alerted yesterday that their phone numbers had sent out messages to male voters.
The messages purportedly threatened to expose private photos of their wives if they do not vote for the coalition.
Also affected was PKR election director for Rim, Wan Mahadi Wan Hussein, who manages the campaign for Ayer Molek candidate Mohd Rafee Ibrahim. He too had lodged a report with the authorities.
"In the incident that happened at about 3pm yesterday, we were informed that the handphones of Gue Teck, Prasanth Kumar, and Wan Mahadi had been hacked.

"All three victims only learned about the incident after they were alerted by the message recipients.
"Several of the recipients, all of whom come from the Chinese community, said that they received a message threatening to expose private photos of their wife if they do not vote for Pakatan Harapan in this election.
"The victims lodged police reports," read the statement issued by Malacca Harapan's election operations centre.
Calling it a despicable act, the party said they believe it could have been done by one of Harapan's rivals in the state polls.
"This incident is an attempt at distancing voters especially from the Chinese community from Harapan. We are bracing for more such dirty tactics later today and as the people go to cast their votes tomorrow.
"However, we hope that all Malacca voters regardless of religious and racial background are able to see this as a dirty trick by those who are opposing Harapan...
"We hope that all will go out to vote and give the mandate to Harapan tomorrow."
