SPOUSES and family members of Cabinet Ministers may soon be required to declare their assets to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to ensure integrity in the government.
The chairman of the anti-graft body’s advisory panel, Puan Sri Zaitun Zawiyah Puteh, said today that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has agreed in principle to the requirement and hoped it would be implemented soon.
“Spouses and family members of those in the federal administration will also be required to do the same,” Star Online reported her as saying at MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
“The family members will have to declare all their assets via a statutory declaration to make it easier for MACC to launch any investigations when needed.”
Today’s announcement comes just days after Chief Justice Tan Sri Arifin Zakaria said judges will soon be required to declare their assets in order to ensure judicial integrity.
The move, mooted on Sunday, is expected to affect judges of the Federal Court, Court of Appeal and High Court as well as Judicial Commissioners.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and state executive committee members had earlier declared their assets on Thursday as part of Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) pledge to stay accountable to the public.
The federal opposition has called on Cabinet ministers to make their assets public and to adopt an open tender system for awarding contracts to prevent alleged cronyism.
Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) has similarly urged all elected and public officials to make a full and public disclosure of assets upon assuming office.
Kita tengoklah bagaimana keputusan daripada parlimen selepas cadangan ini dibincangkan.
ReplyDeletesemoga cadangan tersebut akan diluluskan. memang perlu menteri2 mengisytiharkan aset mereka.
DeleteJika ahli keluarga juga dikenakan mengumumkan aset mereka, DAP dan keluarga mereka juga perlulah mengisytiharkan dahulu kerana mereka memulakan dahulu.
ReplyDeleteDAP perlu isytiharkan harta keluarga mereka terlebih dahulu.
Deletebetul tu..biar mereka mulakan dahulu. buktikan yang mereka berani untuk isytiharkan semua aset yang ada.
Deletepengisytiharan harta munkin perlu dilakukan, tak perlulah diumumkan secara teliti, cukuplah sekadar nilai keseluruhan harta. tak perlu nak beritahu bentuk2 harta yang dimiliki kerana ia boleh mendorong mereka kepada bahaya.
ReplyDeleteLebih baik yang meminta dan yang diminta untuk declare harta, sama-sama declare harta mereka. Fair and square.
ReplyDeleteTunggu saja kenyataan rasmi dari Najib berkenaan isu ni
ReplyDeleteApa pun kita tunggu pengumuman seterusnya mengenai pengisytiharan harta tersebut.
ReplyDeletesprm, PDRM, kastam dan polis imigresen juga patut mengistiharkan harta mereka memandangkan banyak aduan tentang mereka berkenaan dengan penyalahgunaan kuasa..
ReplyDeletepemimpin2 kerajaan tidak patut mempunyai masalah dalam mengistiharkan harta mereka memandangkan ada kelonggaran seperti yang berlaku dalam exco DAP.. jika kita lihat kaedah pengistiharan yang dilakukan oleh DAP, individu yang diarahkan berbuat demikian masih boleh menyembunyikan harta miliknya dari pengetahuan umum..
