GE14: Eight reports received by Kuala Lumpur Police since campaign begins
KUALA LUMPUR, May 2 (Bernama) -- Eight police reports have been lodged with the Kuala Lumpur police in connection with the on-goings for the 14th general election (GE14) since the campaign period began last Saturday.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said two of the cases involved ceramah (political talks) allegedly held without a permit and and one for mischief involving fire.
He said there were also three cases for trespassing, one under the Anti Fake News Act 2018 and one involving an inquiry against the police.
"For the case on the fake news, it involves a claim by Tun Dr Mahathir (Mohamad) that the jet which he had chartered to fly to Langkawi was sabotaged last Friday," he said after opening a crime prevention awareness programme at the Tun H S Lee traffic police station here today.
In a related development, Mazlan said the police had made preparations for early voting to be held this Saturday.
A total of 437 policemen will be stationed at 23 polling centres in the federal capital, he added.
The Election Commission has set May 5 for early voting and May 9 as polling day for GE14.
