Sandakan cops: We only advised EC to take down controversial billboard

SANDAKAN: The police did not order the Election Commission (EC) to remove the controversial banner by Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) that depicted Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng as threatening voters, says Sandakan police chief ACP Mohd Azhar Hamin.

According to ACP Mohd Azhar, the police only advised the EC to remove the controversial billboard, because it is evidence in an ongoing police investigation over the matter.
