Suaram adviser questions Pakatan Harapan's funding from the National Endowment for Democracy


PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan should explain its dependence on funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), says Human rights group Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram).

The group's adviser Kua Kia Soong said this after Daniel Twining, the president of the International Republican Institute (IRI) revealed three years ago that they - through NED - had been funding the Opposition in Malaysia since 2002.
