MELAKA, May 8 — The proposed Political Funding Bill is still under study and has yet to secure consensus from all political parties, Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said today.
The de facto law minister said agreement from all parties is essential as they will be the main stakeholders and users of the proposed legislation.
“Before the general election? I honestly do not know. It is difficult for me to comment because I do not even know myself,” she was quoted by nationale newswire Bernama as replying when asked if the Bill could be tabled before the next general election. Azalina was speaking to reporters after attending a signing ceremony between Multimedia University and the Legal Affairs Division, as well as the launch of a legal aid clinic initiative.
She said discussions on political funding are ongoing, with several key policy issues still unresolved, including public funding for parties, contribution limits and the body that will oversee political funds. She said the matter has been discussed within political circles during GE15 back in 2023, but has yet to reach the formal drafting stage at the Legal Affairs Division.
