International Islamic University Malaysia political scientist Syaza Shukri said doing so would allow the public to assess the fundraising exercise and help build trust in the party.

Syaza Shukri.“Yes, I think it should be publicly available because that’s the point. Umno has to show that it is serious about transparency and accountability … that everything is above board,” she told FMT.
