Azam Baki: Political Funding Act could be a guide for MACC to differentiate political funds and corruption

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 ― The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission is confident the proposed Political Funding Act could serve as a guide for the agency to differentiate between political funds and contributions to parties or politicians for categorisation as corruption.

“The GIACC has completed the draft of the law on political funding, which I am also involved in the discussions certain scopes have been set, among others, the need for political parties to report and declare funds they receive from any party. Azam said it was time for politicians to concur on the implementation of the law, like whether there is a need to control political funds for elections, like in the United States which allows political funding by declaring the funders.

He said it was difficult for the MACC to differentiate between political funds and bribery, but investigation would have to be conducted when it received a report on a politician receiving funds and classify it as a corruption case.
