By FLORENCE A.SAMY
Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik KUALA LUMPUR: Risda has strongly denied claims that the foreign workers it brought in are phantom voters.
Risda chairman Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik said the 38 Nepali workers who arrived at the KL International Airport at 10.50pm on May 2 were sent to six of their farms.
"They were brought in by Risda's National Rubber Smallholders Cooperative (Narsco) to work in the farms.
"We strongly deny accusations that Risda is involved in the transporting of phantom voters with our vehicles as aired in a YouTube video, social media and certain dailies on May 5," he told a press conference here after Risda's monthly gathering on Thursday.
