The PM had complained that he needed to charter his own helicopter during a by-election.
The Election Commission is prepared to meet with Pakatan Harapan and others to obtain their views and feedback to improve the election process, said its chief Azhar Azizan Harun.
Azhar said this in reference to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad complaining about the EC prohibiting the use of government assets and members of the administration from campaigning during office hours. "The restriction is as if giving a chance to the opposition parties that have no work and want the job. They can campaign 24 hours, but the ministers can't do the same,” he had said.
Whereas those involving amendments to the laws, he said, would require the EC to conduct further research.
