Bersih has urged the government to amend the existing Election Offences Act, 1954, in response to PAS leader Sanusi Nor’s claims that up to RM1 million is needed to campaign for parliamentary seats in each constituency.
The election watchdog criticised Sanusi‘s claims as tarnishing the credibility of politicians, as it gives off the impression that they are likely to overspend and exceed the budget outlined by existing laws.
