Penang police chief Shuhaily Zain said they had opened 28 investigation papers but no arrests had been made so far.

“The case is being investigated in accordance with Section 7 of the Election Offences Act 1954 for committing fraud and impersonation of voters,” he told a press conference here.

He said those were among 76 election-related reports received by Penang police during the two-week GE15 period.

Of the 76 reports, 43 investigation papers had been opened with four cases successfully solved after four suspects were charged in court.

Shuhaily also said that police had received reports regarding a video that went viral on social media involving a political party leader who allegedly touched on religious sensitivities.

He said a total of eight police reports were received regarding the viral video and it also involved reports in other states, namely three in Kuala Lumpur, two in Perak and one each in Pahang, Kelantan and Sabah.

“This case is being investigated by the Classified Crime Investigation Unit (USJT), Bukit Aman, in accordance with Section 4A(1) of the Election Offences Act 1954, Section 298 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998,” he said.
