The most important element in cash handouts is the intention, said Perikatan Nasional secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin.

The former home minister was responding to PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang defending the distribution of cash to voters during the last 15th general election as “charity”.

“I am not so sure about that (Hadi’s statement). But the point is...

'We have to be careful about the people who ask for money.'
