BEAUFORT: Sabah Umno Youth wants the Election Commission (EC) to cancel its plan to put up video cameras at polling streams during the Kimanis by-election polling day on Saturday (Jan 18), deeming it an act that can instil fear among voters.

Its chief Aziz Julkarnain said while the EC must continue to be transparent, they must uphold their duty to maintain the secrecy of voters’ ballots.
