KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — The Malaysian Bar, at its 77th Annual General Meeting today has passed 11 resolutions.
“And that’s what we did last year, we actually drafted a Bill, and that Bill was ready to be presented as a private members’ Bill in Parliament. But I think there was quite a bit of a pushback in terms of the political financing Bill, and then the government changed,” Cheah told reporters at a press conference here.
“Then we had seminars, joint-working forums with other NGOs. We have also briefly explained the provisions under the political funding Bill to private companies and we have also put in a working paper to the ministry of law and institutional reform, it’s one of the papers we have submitted to Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said and deputy minister Ramkarpal Singh.
“But all we can say is that there is no need to wait because we have already drafted the Bill. There is no hindrance, what it really requires is political will from both spectrums,” she said. “We have actually commenced legal action against the police, together with the Home Ministry. We filed the paper sometime in October and it’s ongoing, the pleadings — meaning the summons, statement of claims, statement of defence, reply to the defence — all that have been filed by the respective parties.
