00:00Political analysts say the continued delay in enacting a political financing law reflects
00:05a lack of political will among parties across the board.
00:09Awang Azman Pawi of University Malaya and Shahza Shukri of the International Islamic
00:14University Malaysia said the government and opposition have shown little interest in introducing
00:19restrictions on access to unregulated funds.
00:23Awang Azman pointed out that incumbent elected representatives benefit from discretionary
00:27funding, especially in marginal seats or constituencies with a large number of voters.
00:34He noted that despite discussions dating back to 2009 and draft proposals in 2016, no bill
00:40has ever been tabled.
00:42Shahza said Pakatan Harapan, Barca National and Perikatan National have all benefited from
00:47the current unregulated system and lack real incentive to pursue meaningful reforms.
