Independent candidate Datuk Fairuz Renddan has denied allegations of demanding a thirty percent commission from business lobbyists for project approvals, calling the social media claims a baseless smear campaign. The Pintasan incumbent stated that the accusations were a malicious attempt to damage his reputation, suggesting his detractors lacked substantive campaign issues.
He clarified that a separate financial transaction, a five-thousand-ringgit deposit from a businessman, was a documented donation for a Covid-19 food aid program and not a personal payment. Fairuz Renddan described the allegations as a desperate political tactic intended to undermine his election efforts and disturb his supporters.
