“We are quite disappointed that the two major parties that are contesting continues to ignore election laws and committed such offences. According to Bersih 2.0's report, the breakdown of the 35 cases were; undue influence , treating and gifts , political violence, intimidation and harassment promotion of ill-will or hostility and problems on polling day .
“We are not saying that during by-election all government function should stop. We are saying that when it comes to by-election, government of the day must not make promises exclusively to the contested constituency,” he said. “This is an issue of grave concern which Bersih 2.0 hope the authorities will take necessary action whether its under the Election Offences Act or Penal Code to curb such politicking,” he said.
