KOTA BHARU: A representative of Nik Normi Nik Ayub, the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Chempaka state seat in Kelantan, has filed a police report over claims that she did not perform Friday prayers last week.
The report was filed yesterday at the Pengkalan Chepa police station by Zailany Zakaria, who is BN’s chief strategist for the Chempaka constituency. He said it was to clear Nik Normi’s name, Utusan Malaysia reported.
“I want to clarify that our (BN) candidate is a woman. For your information, it is not mandatory for women to perform Friday prayers,” he told reporters after lodging the report, adding that the accusation was slanderous.
