KUALA TERENGGANU: A few candidates in Terengganu allegedly wore clothing or pins with their party's logo, which may flout the rules.
Marang candidate Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang's outfit has raised questions as some claimed that a PAS flag is visible on his clothing.
Social media users claimed the party president was wearing a PAS flag logo on his green-coloured vest.
Checks by The Star with his press secretary revealed that the logo was actually a 2018 programme logo by PAS and not their party's logo.
Meanwhile, Kemaman Barisan Nasional Candidate Datuk Seri Ahmad Said was seen wearing his campaign pin at the polling station.
According to section 26(g) of the Election Offences Act 1954, no person shall wear, hold or carry any form or type of clothing, head covering, ornament, rosette, water bottle or umbrella on which the name of a candidate or the name, emblem or symbol of any political party is printed or imprinted.
The restriction applies within a distance of 50 metres from the limits of any polling station and in a polling station.
If found guilty of an offence under the Act, a person may face imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year, a RM5,000 fine or both upon conviction.
