IPOH: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has opened an operations room for the public to channel information and complaints of corrupt acts and abuse of power in the Ayer Kuning state by-election.
In a statement, the commission said the operations room at the MACC Perak branch in Bandar Meru Raya will be open around the clock from April 12 until April 26, the day when voters cast their ballots.
“The people can also channel their complaints via email to aduan.prk.N48@sprm.gov.my or contact 019-6002041/01133209935/05-5267000 (ext 163),” the MACC said in a Bernama report.
The MACC also reminded all candidates and political parties to not engage in activities that violate election laws and regulations in line with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and the Election Offences Act 1954.
The Ayer Kuning by-election is being held following the death of incumbent Ishsam Shahruddin, 58, on Feb 22.
The by-election will see a three-cornered fight involving candidates from Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional and Parti Sosialis Malaysia.
