PETALING JAYA: Electoral watchdogs Bersih 2.0, Engage and Tindak Malaysia have warned candidates in the upcoming Cameron Highlands by-election to play clean and fair or face their wrath. The three watchdogs said that all the candidates will be watched closely throughout the Cameron Highlands by-election campaign period for the parliament seat to be held from Jan 12 to 25. "We warn all candidates and political parties that will be contesting in the Cameron Highlands by-election to keep away from election offences in their election campaigns," said the three watchdogs in a joint press statement released on Sunday (Jan 6). They also asked the candidates to publicly sign a personal pledge on Jan 12 to ensure a clean and fair election in their campaigns. The Election Commission on Dec 28 confirmed that Sivarraajh was not qualified to contest in the by-election.
