Allegation of Travel Claims Denied

Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor explicitly stated that neither BN nor he personally provided any payments to voters for travel claims. He emphasised that such an act would constitute a breach of the Election Offences Act 1954. Tengku Adnan referred to the allegation as slander and urged other candidates to refrain from engaging in such practices.
Police Report Filed and Action Taken

The Putrajaya district police chief, ACP A. Asmadi Abdul Aziz, confirmed that a police report had been received regarding the circulating allegation. In response, the case was referred to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). The MCMC's role in this instance was to take action to block the link to the travel claim form that was being shared.
Transportation Provided by Another Candidate

In a separate development, Datuk Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, the Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate for the Putrajaya seat, indicated that PN would be facilitating transportation for voters on polling day. This initiative aims to ensure a higher voter turnout for the election.
