KUALA LUMPUR: A “goat feast” promise to voters if Barisan Nasional’s candidate wins the Rantau by-election would be considered an electoral offence, says Election Commission chairman Azhar Azizan Harun (pic).

Former Melaka chief minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron had allegedly promised to sponsor two goats for a feast to voters in Taman Angsamas, Seremban, if Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan obtained at least a 300-vote majority in the polling district there.
