Saifuddin pokes fun at political funding law move

comments     Published     Updated

Umno member Saifuddin Abdullah has taken a veiled jab at Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's committee on political funding.

"U dah tebas hutan balak sampai pupus. kenyang, lepas tu u cadang tubuh jawatankuasa bincang alam sekitar & program menanam pokok?

(You cut down the entire forest, have sated yourself, and now you propose a committee to discuss the environment and programmes to plant trees?)" Saifuddin said in a Facebook posting today.

Najib recently announced that a committee would be set up to plan on how to regulate political funding for the next general election.

This follows public outrage over a RM2.6 billion donation he received, allegedly for Umno to spend during the 13th general election of 2013.
