LETTER | We fully support and urge the government to consider the recommendations by the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih 2.0) to publicly fund political parties with an annual total of RM133 million in direct funding.
Parties should be funded both directly and indirectly by the government to reduce the parties’ dependence on private funds and subsequently disproportionate policy influence by the rich.
In particular, Sawo applauds the second recommendation in the Bersih 2.0 study, “Public Funding of Political Parties in Malaysia: Debates, Case Studies, and Recommendations”, that RM10 million should be provided to all parties that succeed in electing elect at least one woman parliamentarian, proportionally divided among the parties by women-held seats, and earmarked entirely for parties’ expenses in promoting women participation in politics.
