The group cited a news report by Bernama that Teo gave food coupons amounting to RM75,000 to 300 students in the constituency at the behest of Pakatan Harapan candidate Dr S. Streram. “We wish to point out that Section 8 of the Election Offences Act 1954 clearly states that it is an election offence of treating for anyone to give food, drink, refreshment, provision, money, ticket or any other means for the purpose of corruptly influencing any person to vote at an election.”
“It would be reasonable to assume that all unscheduled political activities that are carried out in the constituency are done for the purpose of fishing for votes,” it said.
