ANYONE with information on alleged corruption or bribery during the postal voting process in any constituency nationwide have been urged to lodge a report with the authorities.

Caretaker Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin said those who make the allegations need to provide evidence to enable action to be taken.

“If it is true they were paid (to vote), we urged them to make a report so that the authorities can conduct an in-depth investigation. The investigation will be conducted fairly, no matter where it happened.

“So if they are confident (about the allegations), please furnish the evidence, and we will take action in accordance with the law,” he told reporters at a programme with the police at the Selama district police headquarters in Larut today.

Yesterday, Pakatan Harapan chairman Anwar Ibrahim claimed that there were military personnel, especially in the Bera parliamentary constituency, who have already cast their votes for the 15th general election and were paid RM300 to do so.

Incumbent Bera MP Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the allegation is a lie and a malicious accusation against the armed forces, had tarnished the image of the security forces and insulted the military personnel not only in Bera, but also nationwide. – Bernama, November 12, 2022.
