As no election laws were broken, Kajang by-election candidate Anwar Ibrahim said police investigations will not stop his rallies.

He was quoted by Sinar Harian as saying that he was just touching on current affairs for Kajang residents through his cerama and not 'campaigning' as claimed.

He then thanked the police for not interrupting his programmes.

"If the police wish to investigate, let them. Even though Election Commission (EC) chairperson Abdul Aziz Yusof has said that no election laws were violated...

"I thank the police for not interrupting our programme," Anwar, the Permatang Pauh MP, said in Kajang last night.

Selangor police had confirmed last week that they were investigating the PKR defacto leader Anwar, as he had not given the 10 days advance notice prior to his rallies, as required under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.

Anwar then took a poke at the force last night, saying that he would write  to Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi ( right ) to find out why the police were busying themselves on such matters.

Meanwhile, EC chief Abdul Aziz has proposed that Kajang by-elections be held concurrently with the Balingian state by-election, which may be called soon as Sarawak chief minister Abdul Taib Mahmud was set to resign.

"Personally, I'd like the Balingian and Kajang by-elections to be held concurrently - save time and avoid lengthy campaigns," he was quoted as telling Utusan Malaysia .

Taib is due to step do the end of February as CM after 33 years, in his bid to become state governor instead.

This would leave very little time for the EC to meet again and clean up the electoral roll in Balingian as required, Abdul Aziz explained.

Even in Kajang, he said, it took the EC nearly the maximum of 10 days to decide that nomination would be on March 11 and polling date would be March 23.

The Kajang seat fell vacant  was on January 27 when state assemblyperson Lee Chin Cheh resigned suddenly to let Anwar contest. The EC only met and decided the polling date on Feb 5.
