SHAH ALAM : PKR vice-president contender R Ramanan, who is seeking re-election, has clarified that the person he was seen giving money to in a viral video was actually an employee of his.
Ramanan, who is also the Sungai Buloh MP, said the incident took place after the Selangor state election in 2023 and criticised the circulation of the video now as a dirty political tactic by certain parties.
The deputy entrepreneur and cooperative development minister also did not dismiss the possibility of more dirty tactics being employed by the opposition ahead of PKR's central leadership election next Friday.
'That's my own employee — what's wrong with that?' he said at a press conference after launching an entrepreneurship seminar organised by the National Entrepreneurial Group Economic Fund (Tekun).
'It's really disgraceful if we stoop to dirty politics like this. This is slander.
'There's a party election happening now, so things like this (the video) will be twisted and manipulated,' he said.
Over the past few days, a video clip has been circulated widely showing Ramanan handing over cash to an individual in front of a Pakatan Harapan office, implying it was for vote buying.
