PETALING JAYA: The government is hoping to table the political funding bill in the Dewan Rakyat in October, says law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
According to a report by The Star, Wan Junaidi said the bill was “in the pipeline” with Putrajaya working on tabling the proposed law in the lower house’s October meeting.
He said the bill was Putrajaya’s own initiative to boost transparency, governance and accountability, pointing out that the law was not mentioned in the government’s memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Pakatan Harapan.
Political funding, or political financing, refers to how political parties and individual politicians raise money for election campaigns, daily operations and other activities.
