PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor's court testimony is proof that political financing must be curbed, says electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0.

Bersih 2.0's steering committee said the Electoral Offences Act 1954 (EOA) should be amended to regulate political financing and suggested that the ceiling for political campaign spending during elections for state assemblymen and parliamentarians be raised to RM500,000 and RM1mil respectively.
