Gov't vehicle sports Harapan flag

The Pahang government confirmed that a four-wheel drive vehicle allegedly used for Pakatan Harapan's by-election campaign in Cameron Highlands belongs to the state Forestry Department and demanded its return. 

 Harapan's Cameron Highlands candidate M Manogaran promised to stop any more such incidences of abuse of government machinery.

Former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin claimed Harapan failed to walk the talk on abuse of government machinery, stating that Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu too had used government asset for the Cameron Highlands by-election campaign.

Mohamad's press secretary Amin Shah Iskandar said the minister will be initiating legal action against Khairy for the claim as the Defence Ministry had already explained his usage of an Armed Forces helicopter was not for the election.

A Terengganu assemblyperson was arrested by the MACC for allegedly making RM500,000 in false claims.

Redzuawan Ismail, popularly known as Chef Wan, was upset at Najib Abdul Razak's visit to his home village in Cameron Highlands and said he wanted to slap the former prime minister for claiming that Felda saw its golden age under BN despite widespread corruption.

Najib refused to respond, asking why he should entertain Chef Wan.

Asyraf doubles down on dancing controversy

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department P Waythamoorthy said the Kelantan government's refusal to recognise the Orang Asli community's native customary land was wrong.
