BN candidate Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh today denied he had anything to do with the claims of two reporters who were given money at the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election media centre yesterday. According to Bernama, Wan Ahmad said “people would do anything to tarnish my name” during the by-election. “I don’t have any money to offer to anybody ... you know people can do anything especially in this by-election...Earlier, it was revealed that RM300 cash was distributed to more than a dozen journalists at the state information department’s media centre in Kuala Terengganu. Journalists were asked to list their names, the organisation they work for and telephone numbers on a blank piece of paper by a media centre staff before being given a white envelope containing six RM50 notes. Four Malaysiakini journalists wrote their details on the paper without knowing about the ‘gift’. The four later returned the envelopes with a total of RM1,200 to the media centre staff. Several other journalists also did the same.
(Wan Farid: It's not my money - Malaysiakini)
People can do anything especially in this by-election. So true and that includes giving money and denyning doing so.
So, maybe the money is not from BN but then again, the 'mystery' gift was given in the state info dept media centre. Doesn't the state belong to or controlled by BN?
One thing I am quite sure - PAS will not give in to money politics easily. PAS is all about piety.
