Cash handouts come with good intentions, that is what matters, say Hamzah


CHERAS: Cash handouts during election campaigning should not be magnified as it is the intentions of such handouts which matter most, said Opposition Chief Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin.

The Perikatan Nasional secretary-general and Larut MP also stated that it was the people who requested such handouts from the party candidates for various purposes such as house repairs and that accepting such cash should not be made into an issue.
