Kuala lumpur: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has received four reports related to alleged cash handouts during the Negeri Sembilan State Election. MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman stated that the reports, received yesterday, involved two election candidates and two early voters.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Abd Halim Aman explained that the reports involve allegations of cash handouts, prompting the commission to conduct further investigations into the matter. He emphasized that the MACC would examine whether the complaints contained elements of corruption or constituted election offences.

Additionally, the Chief Commissioner revealed that the commission had established an operations room to monitor the situation throughout the Negeri Sembilan State Election period. This initiative aims to ensure transparency and integrity during the election process.

Previously, political activist Badrul Hisham Shaharim, also known as Chegubard, alleged that he had received information about payments ranging from RM300 to RM500 involving uniformed personnel, including police officers, during early voting for the Negeri Sembilan polls. Following these claims, Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad assured that investigations would be conducted transparently if a police report were lodged, and any case involving misconduct would be referred to the MACC.
