PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Anwar Ibrahim says he has evidence that military personnel, particularly those in Bera, had cast their ballots yesterday and were paid RM300 each to do so.
At a press conference in Kuching, Anwar said he could prove his allegations and called for an investigation to be held.
“I have made an open statement and the Election Commission has asked me to provide evidence. Therefore, I will give it to them,” he said.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob slammed Anwar over his allegation, dismissing it as “malicious” and “slanderous”.
Ismail, who is defending his Bera seat, urged Anwar to withdraw his statement, saying the PKR president was insulting the armed forces.
Malaysia will go to the polls on Nov 19, with early voting set for Nov 15.
