Just three days ago, the Bersatu disciplinary board clarified that there was no evidence to suggest its Johor assemblyperson Osman Sapian was campaigning for a Pejuang-endorsed candidate in the recently concluded Slim by-election.

However, it has been revealed that the former Johor menteri besar attended a Pejuang-related event last night, this time to show appreciation for the party's election machinery from the state.

In a Facebook post by Abu Bakar Yahya, who is Dr Mahathir Mohamad's political secretary, Osman was shown participating in the event in several photographs, including one where he appeared to be delivering a speech.
