Teresa Kok (DAP-Seputeh) said the Prime Minister's reply to her question on money given by the Barisan Nasional (BN) to Kelantan voters to return to cast their ballots in the March 8 general election is "amazing"."It's money politics ... I have all the photographs of voters receiving RM200 from the BN posted on my blog. How could the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) say the evidence did not qualify for an offence under the Anti-Corruption Act 1997.
"Despite what have been reported in the papers, the ACA did not do anything. This is definitely not in line with the prime minister's promise to curb corruption with an Independent Commission Against Corruption, just like in Hongkong," she told a press conference in the Dewan Rakyat lobby today.
R. Sivarasa (PKR-Subang) also expressed disappointment over the prime minister's reply.
He said the Coalition for Clean and Fair Election (Bersih) had held a press conference on March 17 to make the issue public.
"As far as I know, the ACA does not need an official complaint to initiate an investigation as long as it receives the information from known or anonymous sources.
"So, why is the ACA saying now that it did not receive an official complaint and therefore it could not find sufficient evidence as well as the Election Commission which said that it did not have any information nor knowledge on the issue raised by Kok," he said.
