The election watch takes Johor MB Sahruddin Jamal to task for trying to fish for votes with government allocations. FMTNews TanjungPiai PakatanHarapan
Pakatan Harapan has been criticised for breaching fair play in the Tanjung Piai by-election campaign.
“This attempt to fish for votes from the fishermen is not illegal under current laws, but it is clearly unethical for a political party to use tax-payers’ money to win elections,” the group said in a statement criticising government leaders who have announced allocations for the Johor constituency ahead of the Nov 16 polls.
Yesterday, Johor Menteri Besar Dr Sahruddin Jamal defended the state’s RM1,000 cash aid for 1,513 fishermen, including 544 fishermen from Tanjung Piai. Bersih said Sahruddin should show the PH government’s commitment to free and fair elections by withholding handouts and other government allocations throughout the campaign period.
