KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Youth Wing refutes a claim by the Election Commission (EC) that intense campaigning is expected to take place in Balingian where party president Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is the incumbent.
Its vice Youth chief Pandi Suhaili said the election commission should go to the ground to verify any report or feedback on the situation in each constituency.
“It is a mistake by the election commission to identify the seat as expected to have intense campaigning,” he said.
He added that EC should not listen and act based on any hearsay or rumours which were aimed to give negative perception about Taib.
On Monday, EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar announced that additional enforcement teams would be stationed in nine seats — Pantai Damai, Kota Sentosa, Batu Kawa, Kedup, Repok, Dudong, Pelawan, Nangka and Balingian — to cope with the expected intense campaigning in the constituencies.
