BANGI:
Law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said said Umno has no objection to the proposed drafting of the Political Funding Bill.

The Umno information chief said, however, the party has yet to formally present its official position as the process of gathering feedback on the proposed Act from all political parties is still going on.

“So far, there is no objection from Umno. But we have not brought it forward formally, as each party will be giving its respective views,” she told a press conference after a town hall event here today.

Previously, Azalina said the proposed Political Funding Act is still being studied and required the consensus of all political parties, as the legislation will primarily apply to them.
