: The government will discuss with the Election Commission on the restriction on Cabinet ministers to campaign during working hours, said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Mahathir said during the Cameron Highlands by-election last year, he was also not allowed to use government facilities, including car and aeroplane. Azhar also said Cabinet ministers should also not use government assets or facilities for campaigning purposes. He said the EC was now in the process of “cleansing” the data in the electoral roll through a strategic cooperation with Bank Negara, banking institutions, Energy Commission, National Water Service Commission, telecommunication and utility companies.
