Pakatan does not give out money to anyone, says Dr M
Dr Mahathir said it was not wrong to dispense cash if it was from government schemes or programmes as it is meant for all.
(MMO) – Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has denied that Pakatan Harapan (PH) is involved in money politics in the ongoing Cameron Highlands by-election.
“PH does not give out money to anyone,” he told reporters, when asked to comment on photos of party volunteers distributing money to several Orang Asli motorcyclists in the constituency as part of travel “reimbursements”.
However, Dr Mahathir said it was not wrong to dispense cash if it was from government schemes or programmes as it is meant for all.
“If the money is from the government then they gave it out as everyone would get it,” he said after officiating the launch of Astana City Group’s new Liquefied Petroleum Gas Composite Cylinder at the Royale Chulan Hotel here today.
