KUALA KUBU BARU: Several buses allegedly ferrying “phantom voters” were seen leaving the Institute Kemahiran Belia Negara (IKBN) building here at 3am this morning.
The buses, which were partially full, were believed to have been ferrying the “phantom voters” to several districts in time for polling which began at 8am.
However, PKR Youth deputy chief Fariz Musa said they managed to stop the buses before they left the parking bay just outside the camp.
‘When we got there, there were also 15 cars waiting outside. Each car had between five and six people.
“We don’t know what time they began their operation to ferry the 'phantom voters' but we believe many have already been shuttled by the time we arrived,” he claimed.
Fariz said when they tried to stop the cars, a scuffle broke-out which almost ended in a fist fight when the Umno-BN supporters arrived followed by the police.
At 6am, the busses left the area escorted by the police to an unknown destination.
Polling for the Hulu Selangor parliamentary seat began this morning.
The battle to wrest the seat, which fell vacant following PKR MP Zainal Abidin Ahmad’s death in March, is between BN’s P Kamalanathan and PKR’s Zaid Ibrahim.
