PKR division candidate cries foul over money politics

This was the claim made by Kuala Selangor Parti Keadilan Rakyat division chief, S. Manikavasagam.

He claimed that he has solid evidence pertaining to money politics involving his opponent, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, who is Selangor Menteri Besar, which took place in Jeram and will reveal it to the public soon.

"I have evidence of video recordings (on money politics) and will upload it soon. I received complaints that party voters are being bribed of RM30 to vote for candidates contesting for national posts and RM20 for Kuala Selangor division chief post.

"I hope the election committee will take action over this matter soon," he told reporters when met at the polling centre at Bestari Jaya here, today.

Manikavasagam, who is Bukit Melawati state constituency coordinator, also urged PKR advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to act immediately on the allegations of money politics adding that such incident would tarnish the party's image in the long run.

He also said he would file an objection to the PKR Election Committee should he loses the Kuala Selangor PKR division chief post.
