GE14 | Batu independent candidate P Prabakaran today denied an allegation that he had signed a statutory declaration stating that he supports BN. 

"That is fake. Someone trying to sabotage," he told Malaysiakini in a WhatsApp message. 

Incumbent Batu MP Tian Chua had posted the viral message on the purported declaration, dismissing it as a fake. 

"There is no such letter. There are many things that BN do to confuse the voters," he said in reference to the alleged letter dated April 30, of Prabakaran, signing a declaration to support BN. 

Tian Chua is unable to defend his seat following the barring of his candidacy by the Election Commission, citing his RM2,000 fine for insulting a police officer. 

At 22, Prabakaran is the youngest candidate to contest in this general election. 

Last week, Pakatan Harapan endorsed Prabakaran, following Tian Chua's disqualification. 

The Batu seat faces a four-way contest today, between Prabakaran, independent VM Panjamothy, BN's Dominic Ng and PAS' Azhar Yahya.
