Puah said he went to the house to send Aidilfitri donations and aid to PKR representatives.

He said he would fully cooperate with the police in their investigation after a complaint was lodged against him for violating the rules.

“I do not deny that I was in a house in Taman Desa Jaya, Ulu Tiram, at the time of the incident,” he said in a statement.

“However, my main purpose was to send donations to PKR women’s representatives for distribution to single mothers and asnaf (poor and needy Muslims) and not to celebrate Hari Raya as alleged.”

Puah, who is assemblyman for Bukit Batu, is also a state PKR leader. He said he would fully cooperate with the police in their investigation.

He said that he was willing to accept the punishment and pay the appropriate fine if the investigation found that he had violated the SOP.

The complaint against Puah was reported to have been lodged by the head of Bersatu’s Tanjung Selatan Bersatu branch, Ahmad Anwar Asyraf Ismail.

Earlier today, Seri Alam district police chief Sohaimi Ishak said the police received a complaint by a 38-year-old man from Muar after he saw a Facebook posting with a photograph showing an elected representative from a political party eating and celebrating together at the house of the owner of the Facebook account.

Sohaimi said the police would track down the owner of the Facebook account, known as Sarah Eina, to assist in the investigation.
