C4 Center, during the launch of its report titled ‘Foundations and Donations: Political Financing, Corruption, and the Pursuit of Power’ today, urges the government to table the Political Funding Bill immediately.
C4 executive director Cynthia Gabriel said political funding through foundations often escapes the attention of pressure groups and the media.
“Some of the foundations are not even registered but are getting millions of ringgit.
“Even law firms are part of the network,” she said, adding that people need to question when donating to welfare and religious foundations as they may be abused “in a big way”.
