No
Comment

No such restrictions in the Election Offences Act 1954 or its 2012 constitution nor in the Societies Act 1966

There is no law in Malaysia that regulates political donations, whether from local or foreign sources. Despite lobbying efforts from civil society, attempts to introduce a Political Party Act has been futile thus far
