KKB by-election: We respect Bersih's view on Hari Raya Open House issue, says Saifuddin


KUALA LUMPUR: While the government respects the views of the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih), the public can decide if any electoral rules were broken in the latest by-election, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

Responding to Bersih's statement claiming that the Hari Raya Open House held in Kuala Kubu Baharu right after nominations closed on Saturday (April 27) by the state government could be construed as an election offence, the Home Minister said that everyone is already familiar with the laws that govern by-elections.
