PETALING JAYA: Lawmakers from both sides of the divide are in support of the special motion in Parliament to compel all MPs to declare their income and assets to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
PETALING JAYA:
Tajuddin also argued that the asset declaration, which would be published on the MACC website, might cause lawmakers to become the target of crimes. “I think the only issue is sometimes they have enormous amounts of money, but it’s from family inheritances. “If the government is serious, then amend the MACC Act and clearly state that MPs are duty-bound to declare their assets – make it legal.“Will it include close relations and business proxies? Will it be legally binding because motions in Parliament, whether special or not, are not legally binding and not enforceable,” he said.She added that ministers and deputies during Barisan’s administration had to declare their wealth.
