BARISAN Nasional (BN) candidate for the Putrajaya parliamentary seat, Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, has denied an allegation that electors returning to Putrajaya to cast their ballots this Saturday will receive RM300 in travel claim.

He said a police report was lodged yesterday regarding the allegation that was spread on the WhatsApp messaging platform.

“It’s slander and I did not do that. I hope those contesting the seat don’t play the slander game,” he told reporters after observing the early voting process at the Putrajaya district police headquarters today.

He stressed that neither BN nor he provided payments to voters as it was a breach of the Election Offences Act 1954.

Putrajaya district police chief A. Asmadi Abdul Aziz when contacted confirmed receiving the report.

He said the case was referred to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to block the travel claim form link.

Meanwhile, Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate contesting the Putrajaya seat, Mohd Radzi Md Jidin who also visited the district police headquarters to observe the voting process, told reporters that PN would provide transportation for voters on polling day to ensure a high voter turnout. – Bernama, November 15, 2022.
