KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition lawmakers have no intention of declaring their assets as there are no written laws that compel them to do so, says its chief Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

"We will not declare our assets because there are no written laws under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 that can compel us to do so.

"That is why they have many select committees. But what's happening now is that the Parliament has to follow the instructions of the executive to make a motion to compel MPs, including those from the Opposition, to declare their assets," added the Bera MP. "But for those who are not in power such as the Opposition, who do not have any power to approve anything, there is no need for us to declare our assets,” he said.

I'm sure the prophet is very proud of you.

But you have declared... a lack of integrity !!

Assets are ill gotten means? maybe... Of course cannot reveal lah

Bagus. Bagus. Banyakkan berselindung. Kurangkan transparensi.

Why can't the PH Govt amend the laws to make it mandatory to declare assets? I'm sure most MPs will support the motion. Are we lacking support?

Looks as politician are not bound to any law Just like how was BN & PH is behaving the same now. Until the day when it comes PDRMsia SPRMMalaysia & AG are fully independent nothing will change. Politicians are like diapers. They must be changed often pakatanharapan_ UMonline

1st they said afraid of getting robbed. Then they used religion. Now they said not bound by law. What's next?

Is corruption not bound by law?

its not abt the law, its abt integrity pls walk the talk

Dia tak nak buat org terperanjat beruk bila tau asset dia

Then this person la you need to investigate MACC

Mcm2 alasan, byk ke asset, jd takut nak declare. Maybe malu kot, ada ciput je. Tak smpat aritu tu nak kaut..

I think you have taken too much of the rakyat:s money and also a corrupted MP, that is why you dare not declare.

bound by the law of rakyat....

Of course, only rakyat are law abiding.

Takut ke nk declare

Must be a lot if assets to hide!

Why scared? Declare lah if nothing to hide

PM has declared his income & why the Opposition still thinks that they are untouchable? Impose penalty or lose MP seat. We want transparent & clean govt.
