Tambang khas untuk pengundi boleh ditafsir sebagai rasuah, kata Abang Johari
Premier Sarawak kata kerajaan negeri perlu berhati-hati tentang bagaimana perkara itu boleh digambarkan.
Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg has stated that offering a special discount to returning voters following their vote could be construed as electoral malpractice. According to The Borneo Post, the state government must be cautious about how such actions are perceived, citing his own statement. Providing discounts may be seen as a form of incentive, he cautioned, emphasizing the need to consider legal definitions after the AirBorneo airline's inaugural Kuching-Jakarta flight.
While airfare discounts are typically higher in December due to the holiday travel season, AirBorneo's discounted fares remain less than RM300, allowing voters to return at no extra cost without needing special deals that could be misinterpreted. The Election Commission (SPR) has set November 28 as nomination day, December 8 for the initial vote and December 12 as polling day.
In PRN 2021, the Sarawak People's Party won 76 out of 82 seats, Sarawak United Party secured four seats and DAP took two seats.
