A local election monitoring NGO claims that the ruling coalition is blatantly throwing around money to secure support in Sibu.
Barisan Nasional is going the unscrupulous route by dangling multi-million ringgit 'carrots' in front of the Sibu's electorate in the run up to the constituency's parliamentary by-election this Saturday, said an NGO, Sibu Election Watch (SEW).
SEW coordinator Wong Meng Chuo claimed that the ruling coalition is using government-sanctioned functions to buy votes and is wantonly abusing government machinery and allocations and told a press conference in Sibu today, "They have used their official position to host various functions and give out allocations. This is tantamount to the offence of bribery under the Elections Act."
