JOHOR BARU, Sept 7 — The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) lodged a police report today against Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for alleged manipulation and bribery during his visit to a People’s Housing Programme (PPR) in Taman Perling here last week.

The police report was lodged by a Bersih by-election observer at the Johor Baru South district police headquarters here today after she came across a video clip of the alleged election offence by Ahmad Zahid on Tuesday.

Bersih chairman Thomas Fann said the decision to lodge the report was made after much consideration based on the video clip during Ahmad Zahid’s visit to the Melana Indah PPR in Taman Perling here last Sunday.

“During the event, Ahmad Zahid made a speech to unduly influence Pulai voters by saying that the PPR upgrading project will be reviewed and approved on condition that the Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate wins the Pulai by-election on September 9,” he said.
