Aliran received photographs of another round of post-election payouts, this time in the Pulau Betong area, which also comes under the Balik Pulau parliamentary constituency.
At any one time, some 200 people were lining up in four lines of about 50 people each to claim their ‘winnings’ using the vouchers they received when they ‘registered’ before polling day.
The vouchers were mainly for the N38 Bayan Lepas and mainly for the N39 Pulau Betong state seats. The payouts were made over three days on 10-12 May 2013. These photos were taken on the third and final day.
N38 Bayan Lepas was won by Noordin Ahmad of Umno-BN with an increased majority of 458 votes (previously 399).
Farid Saad of Umno-BN won the N39 Pulau Betong seat with a majority of 395 votes, up from 294 in 2008

These increased majorities enable BN’s Hilmi Yahaya to snatch the P53 Balik Pulau parliamentary seat from PKR by a 1539-vote majority, overturning PKR’s winning majority of 708 votes in 2008.

Making PDRM and MACC reports is one thing. Do ensure that there are sworn statements, video clippings, pictures to support your reports as otherwise it will come to naught.

Hi everyone,
Betting is ‘haram’, Lucky Draws with an element of chance to win is also ‘haram’, and promissory notes that provide for holders to claim the money when UMNO Baru’s candidate has won in the State/Parliamentary constituency is definitely ‘haram’ as well!
Isn’t UMNO Baru and/or their agents dragging their religion into disrepute? Would the ‘ulamas’ and other true adherents of the religion voice out their displeasure at such insulting acts against their religion? Don’t let such people hijack your religion!!
Daylight bribery, totally no action by the authorities. I can assure you SPR will say that it is totally legal.
We are a free country, free to bribe, … free to cheat, free to fan s…
Notice that most of the recipients are the Malay Muslims. One question, don’t they care if the money they are receiving is considered haram or halal? All I can see is a bunch of hypocrites. …
Did anyone actually videotape the whole process of giving out of and receipt of the “lucky draw”?
Wouldn’t they need – at the very least – sworn statements from those who were going to claim the money that they were, indeed, bribed by certain, named, quarters, before these guys even have a case? Don’t want to be a wet blanket, but couldn’t the `organisers’ of the payout, if apprehended, say that their `Special Lucky Bonus’ tickets are nothing more than `lucky draw’ tickets which have nothimng whatsoever to do with GE13?
