PUTRAJAYA: The Attorney-General's Chambers received more than 100 reports related to indelible ink used in the general election, AG Chambers' Head of Prosecution Division Abdul Wahab Mohamed said.

He said the AG's Chambers had handed over the reports to the Election Commission for fur- ther investigation.

The first report received was from Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan on April 30, which claimed the ink was washable and did not conform to what was said earlier, he said here yesterday.

Abdul Wahab said five men would also be charged in court, namely in Kangar (Perlis), Kampar (Perak), Kuala Terengganu (Terengganu), Klang and Petaling Jaya (Selangor) tomorrow for treason and hurting their victims.

He said that since May 3, the AG's Chambers had directed further investigations to be carried out on 665 reports while no further action was needed for 181 cases. -Bernama
