Declare assets to MACC as instructed by Najib

FMT LETTER: From Robert Phang, via e-mail

I hail the decision by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to allow full access to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to the asset declarations of the top leadership.

It is therefore very clear that all politicians and including government servants must declare their assets to MACC or MACC has the right to demand their declaration.

I wish to recapitulate, some so called Chinese leaders like VK Liew's irrational stand that it is inappropriate for MACC to keep records of properties of ministers and deputy ministers.

Najib Tun Razak's decision is loud and clear. May I remind VK Liew and Mohamed Nazri Aziz (Minister in the PM's department) to adhere to the instruction given by the BN chief.

If you still have much to hide, then quit. Needless to say, VK Liew and other politicians should be reminded that they are elected to public office by the people and their salaries come from law-abiding taxpayers.

Therefore they are accountable to the people at all times and can be made answerable to MACC when needed. People are their bosses. Please follow Najib's instruction.
