PETALING JAYA: Bersih has lodged a police report against deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for making a speech that may “unduly influence” Pulai folk to vote for Pakatan Harapan in Saturday’s parliamentary by-election.

The electoral reform group claimed that Zahid said upgrades to the people’s housing project in Melana Indah, Johor, would be reviewed and approved on the condition that PH candidate Suhaizan Kaiat won the by-election.

In a statement, Bersih said the speech should be investigated for allegedly violating Section 9 (for undue influence) and Section 10 (bribery) of the Election Offences Act 1954.

It said Zahid’s speech on Sept 3 also contradicted the 3C (no conditions, no campaigns, no candidates) principles it outlined in July to prevent the abuse of incumbency advantage.
