KOTA BARU: Tanah Merah member of parliament Datuk Seri Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz today rubbished allegations that he had given out G-Shock watches and umbrellas to attract crowds at a recent gathering.

In a statement, he said such allegations made against him were baseless.

He said those who attended the launch of the Kelantan Perikatan Nasional (PN) event on July 2 had done so on their own volition.

"There is no truth in a news portal report which had questioned the huge turnout at the programme last Saturday, asking whether they were actual supporters of PN or they took part in the gathering due to gifts being distributed.
