Bersih calls for new law to regulate political parties
Reform group says this could replace registering parties under the Societies Act to boost transparency in financing and provide a mechanism to resolve internal disputes.
Bersih chairman Faisal Abdul Aziz has urged the formation of a new law to regulate political parties independently from other organizations. This call follows the controversy surrounding Perikatan Nasional's deregistration by the Registrar of Societies (RoS). The RoS and the Home Minister have appealed against the stay granted by the High Court on the coalition's deregistration pending the outcome of their judicial review.
