KLUANG: Perikatan Nasional's Badrul Hisham Shaharin, otherwise known as Chegubard, has doubled down on his claims that Barisan Nasional's Mahkota by-election candidate had previously been arrested.
This was despite Kluang OCPD Asst Comm Bahrin Mohd Noh's earlier statement saying that Barisan's Syed Hussien Syed Abdullah has no criminal record.
During a ceramah at a café in Taman Sri Kluang here on Thursday (Sept 26), Badrul said it was a fact that Syed Hussien had previously been arrested and he had the document to prove it.
"I did not show the official report (of the arrest) because I might get into trouble as it is a confidential document. But I will show it to the audience tonight," he said on Thursday (Sept 26) night.
Badrul Hisham also revealed the name and identification number of the policeman who lodged the report along with details of Syed Hussien's apparent arrest.
Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had said that the incident happened when Syed Hussien was in his 20s, when he defended a blind person from being harassed and assaulted by a group of people.
Syed Hussien is in a straight fight against Perikatan candidate Mohamad Haizan Jaafar in the Mahkota by-election, with polling day set for Saturday (Sept 28).
