Thursday, 12 Dec 2019 08:31 AM MYTMembers of Parliaments should declare their assets. Assets declaration should include wife and family. There should be audit on this declaration as to the truthfulness. Political financing law should be enacted for this and enforced independently.

No politician should become billionaire or have assets more than RM100million by virtue of public office. Public office is for those who want to serve and not primarily for gaining personal wealth. Prima facie, there’s abuse of power of ill gotten gains if one or his family is a billionaire. Political financing laws should be enacted to address this.

When one is elected in a position which has age limits, so long at the point of election he is below age, he should be allowed to continue to finish the tenure. It is counterproductive to blame all problems to civil servants and deep state. Issue of bureaucracy exists in every system in the world and this should be recognised and properly addressed. Civil service must serve the government of the day but has its own rules to adhere to and it must stay independent. Legislature must respect this. Blaming failure or incompetence to deep state and civil service, is unfairly victimizing the civil service.
