Allegations against BN Rim candidate are excuses by desperate opponents, says Zahid
JASIN: Allegations that Barisan Nasional candidate for the Rim seat, Datuk Khaidirah Abu Zahar, had used government premises and machinery during the Melaka election campaign are nothing but "excuses by desperate opponents", Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
Barisan Nasional (BN) leader Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has dismissed allegations that one of the party's candidates abused government resources during the Melaka state election campaign. The deputy prime minister stated that rival groups were using the accusations as a desperate attempt to gain an advantage. Zahid questioned the involvement of ministers and deputy ministers at campaign events, suggesting that the BN could raise similar concerns about their appearances.
He made these remarks after a police report was filed by Pakatan Harapan (PH) against BN candidate Datuk Khaidirah Abu Zahar. The report alleged that Khaidirah had used government premises and machinery for campaigning during an event for Deepavali, with photographs and video recordings submitted to the police.
