Umno has no objection to proposed Political Funding Act, say Azalina


BANGI: Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said says 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 it was still in the process of gathering feedback on the proposed act from all political parties.

"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 launching the Madani Accountability Framework 2026 town hall session here on Sunday (May 10).

Previously, Azalina said that the proposed Political Funding Act is still under study and requires the consensus of all political parties, as they will be the main users of the legislation. - Bernama
