PUTRAJAYA, Aug 1 — Barisan Nasional hopes the Political Funding Bill would be tabled for at least the first reading in Parliament before the 15th General Election, said its secretary-general Datuk Seri Zambry Abd Kadir.
He said the Bill is one of the BN commitments as the coalition has proposed it before GE14 to determine issues related to accountability, and transparency in terms of money movement could be put into one process. “This time, we have a prime minister who can bring this up and we hope the Political Funding Bill can be tabled at least for the first reading in the Parliament,” he told reporters after closing the Third Malaysian Tax Policy Forum today.Zambry said the appointment of Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz as the new Selangor BN treasurer would give a good impact and impetus to the state coalition taking into account his background as a minister and experience.
Yesterday, Selangor BN chairman Tan Sri Noh Omar announced the appointment of Tengku Zafrul, replacing Umno Sungai Besar division chief Datuk Seri Jamal Md Yunos. According to Noh, the appointment was part of the coalition’s efforts to wrest back Selangor. — Bernama

Setting up of new wing BN Puteri important as coalition prepares for GE15, says ZahidKUALA LUMPUR: The setting up of Barisan Nasional Puteri, which was approved on Sunday (July 31), is important as the party prepares for the upcoming 15th General Election (GE15), says Barisan chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. He said the approval of the wing which would be sanctioned at the Barisan supreme council meeting in August would also see new Barisan Puteri candidates being nominated to contest in GE15. 'The reality before us is that, if we want to win, we must feature more new faces as proven in the Melaka state election with 87% new faces, and we managed to win over two-thirds majority. 'The formula adopted in the Johor and Melaka polls was the best and we will do better than that, we prioritised on fresh faces after learning from the political tsunami in GE14,' he told a press conference after launching the Barisan Puteri convention here. He said the preparedness of Barisan Puteri - a combination of female youth wings of component parties such as Puteri MIC and Beliawanis (MCA) - was at the optimum, thus showing the seriousness of the Barisan machinery in facing the challenges of the upcoming polls. 'I see that among the component parties, the effort to strengthen Barisan is clearer, and definitely we must set aside our differences,” he said. On the anti-party hopping Bill that was passed, Ahmad Zahid said the matter is a manifestation of the agreement of all political parties to ensure that the trust placed by the people in leaders is protected. - Bernama
