PUTRAJAYA – Any parties who claims that the 15th General Election (GE15) is the most corrupt election in the country’s history needs to take the matter to court.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the court would be the appropriate place to decide whether the allegations were true.
"Anyone who is not satisfied, do prove that the (result of the) election should be annulled due to alleged corrupt practices," he said in a press conference at his ministry, here, today..
He said anyone could just make claims without presenting any evidence.
"I think many people can say that," he said.
Fadillah who is also Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu Sarawak (PBB) senior vice president said there was a government agency responsible to manage the matter.
"Let the agency carry out their duties and roles. If it is proven, they can file it in court," he said.
On Wednesday, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad made the allegation through a post on his social media account.
He claimed that in GE15, bribes were given openly and many accepted it before voting.
There was another proof of it being done during the election and it was not prevented.
