In PDEA delay, integrity minister's credibility takes a hit

Putrajaya's decision to delay a new law on political financing has cast doubts on the integrity of the very minister who proposed it - integrity, governance and human rights minister Paul Low - said Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng.

Lim pointed out that Low had said the bill was supposed to be tabled in 2016 but the minister now said that it would only be ready in time for the 15th general election.

Low's failure to deliver as member of the executive, despite not being an elected lawmaker, warranted a public explanation.
