Intern Paper: Asset Declaration 2018 Intern paper: Asset Declaration Muhammad Aneeq Aiyman Bin Roslan & Tan Lian May THIS DOCUMENT IS PREPARED BY THE OFFICE OF YB WONG CHEN, MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR SUBANG ANEEQ ROSLAN PUSAT KHIDMAT P104 SUBANG | 113B, Jalan SS14/1, 47500 Subang Jaya 1 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This paper is an attempt to assess the current situation of asset declaration in Malaysia and push for further efforts of implementing it on a larger scale. 1.2 Governments today are becoming more vulnerable to corruption and financial scandals which have been impetus to the downfall of several nations we know today. 1.3 The reason why corruption is so repulsive is the fact that it impedes national growth, creates avenues for higher income inequality, and gives rise to inefficiency. 1.4 In 2014, political parties were ranked the most corrupt among six key institutions in Malaysia, ahead of the police and civil servants1. This explains why asset declaration is critical for those elected into power. 1.5 While eradicating corruption entirely is idealistic, the path towards achieving anything close to such ideals begins with transparency in all aspects. It is; therefore, imperative for the new government to gazette laws to make public asset declaration a mandatory practice for all Ministers, State Executive Committees, high ranking public servants, and in the long run, all Member of Parliaments and State Assemblymen. 1.6 It must be stressed that assets declarations should not only be declared to anti-corruption agencies or the Prime Minister, but also disclosed to the public for citizens and external auditors. This is to allow for full transparency and the scrutinization of dubious financial activities. 1.7 Public asset declaration is a widely practiced system amongst many developed and developing nations such as New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Norway, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Philippines, Iceland, Indonesia, and Japan. It is no surprise that New Zealand, Denmark, Finland and Norway rank top three in terms of the Corruption Perception Index. 1.8 The importance of asset declarations are as follows. ● Prevents conflict of interest amongst public officials; ● Allows public scrutinisation through auditing methods; ● Reduces the ability for leaders to abuse power; ● Builds trust amongst citizens and governments; 1 Transparency International Malaysia, ‘Malaysian Corruption Barometer 2014’ (Malaysia, 24 May 2014) <http://transparency.org.my/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/MCB-2014-results-report.pdf> accessed 20 July 2018 2 ● Prevents illicit enrichment; ● Prevents false accusations of wealth; ● Holds politicians and public servants accountable to the public. 1.9 In Malaysia, the Pakatan Harapan coalition have, in the past, shown their commitment towards trying to encourage public asset declaration. This was seen clearly through the asset declaration initiatives carried out by the Pakatan Harapan administered states of Penang and Selangor before the 14th General Election. Non-profit organization, INVOKE, also started a mass initiative for all members of the coalition to voluntarily declare their assets publicly through a standardized model. 3 2.0 Tabulation of Findings 2.1 Asset Declaration by Ministers in the 20th Cabinet of Malaysia Publicly Net Asset Amount Name Position Declared Notes Declared (RM) Assets YAB Tun Dr. Prime Minister X I. 9th term N/A Mahathir Mohamad Member of Parliament; II.

  • Anwar: Back Us If You Agree with Our Policies Malaysiakini.Com March 3, 2007 Soon Li Tsin
    Anwar: Back us if you agree with our policies Malaysiakini.com March 3, 2007 Soon Li Tsin Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Anwar Ibrahim made a fiery speech asking for opposition party leaders and members to work hard in the coming elections. Speaking to a 600-strong crowd that gathered at the party’s Chinese New Year open house in Kuala Lumpur last night, Anwar tested his Mandarin much to the crowd’s delight. “Xin nian hao, nian nian hao (happy new year, every year’s a good year),” he greeted to start off his address. In his speech that was sandwiched between singing and harmonica performances, he touched on several issues briefly including the recent dip in the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index. “We want our economy to be better and not have the market perform so badly [...] we don’t want the cost of living to rise ... we want our economy to be taken care off. “If we want every year to be good, we must work hard because Malaysia is (a) good (country), the people are good but the government is not good,” he smiled as the crowd gave a thunderous applause. No empty promises The former deputy premier then switched to a serious tone as he made references to the coming general election. “I’ll be honest tonight, I believe people will be spirited in the coming elections. Last time, Pak Lah had plans but his plans have all been postponed. “We must work hard to change the government. If want to really change the government, we must have a good programme for the people,” he said.

  • With Israel? Malaysiakini.Com 14 Februari 2018 Has Malaysia
    Harapan MP: Is Malaysia having ‘an affair’ with Israel? MalaysiaKini.com 14 Februari 2018 Has Malaysia softened its stance on Israel by allowing the latter's high- ranking officials to enter the country, questioned an Amanah lawmaker today. Kuala Terengganu MP Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah Raja Ahmad in a statement said the government's "unannounced" move had caused shock and sadness amongst many Muslims in the country. "Have we pawned the pride of Muslims in matters concerning Israel just for the sake of money and trade? “Just days after the deputy prime minister sent home 12 Uighur Muslims back to China on the pretext of maintaining "good relations" between the two countries what has become of Muslim dignity and pride in the country?" he asked. Kamarul Bahrin was responding to news reports that a delegation of Israeli diplomats had attended the recent week-long ninth Urban World Forum in Kuala Lumpur. The delegation was reportedly led by David Roet who was formerly Israel's deputy ambassador to the United Nations. Kamarul Bahrin urged Malaysia to state clearly, its current position on Israel. "Is this a product of the wasatiyah concept practised by (Prime Minister) Najib (Abdul Razak) or upon the advice of the 'Global Movement of Moderates' led by Nasaruddin Mat Isa and which had caused the government's change in attitude and policy? The rakyat wants to know. "Or is Najib so eager to follow in the footsteps of the Saudi Arabian government which reportedly has close ties to Israel? Is Malaysia having an 'affair' with Israel'?" he asked.

  • DAP Moves to Ease Fears Over Islamic State Malaysiakini.Com January 21, 2011
    DAP moves to ease fears over Islamic state Malaysiakini.com January 21, 2011 Following attempts by Umno and MCA to intimidate Chinese voters in Tenang with PAS' Islamic state agenda, DAP is moving to allay such fears, stressing that PAS is now a party that fights for all ethnic groups. "MCA is sleeping, thinking that it is still 1999 when people were afraid of an Islamic state. In fact, PAS is now talking about a welfare state and its battles for the benefit of all races," Johor DAP chief Dr Boo Cheng Hau said at a DAP dinner in Labis last night. "Umno is the one still talking racial politics. We don't call our home minister Hishammuddin (Hussein), we call him Kerismuddin because he always brandishes the keris." Besides Boo, other DAP leaders expressed their support for PAS at the RM50 a head fund-raising dinner attended by some 800 passionate Chinese supporters, where DAP also raised another RM4,555 in on-the-spot donations. DAP Rasah MP Anthony Loke rebutted MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek's statement earlier that Chinese who voted for PAS would be sending the Malay community the message that they were willing to accept the country as an Islamic state. "We will vote for PAS on Jan 30 for a fair and corruption-free government, not for an Islamic state. We vote to change the government, not merely for PAS, nor an Islamic state," Loke (right) said. The party youth chief then turned aggressive: "If we vote for Umno, it means that we accept Umno's continued oppression of us and allow the party to continue its extreme racial statements and behaviour." Islamic state is not Pakatan common policy His statement was echoed by DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang, who pointed out that Penang, Selangor and Perak, which are ruled by Pakatan Rakyat, have not turned into Islamic states.

    Circular No 279/2011 Dated 25 Nov 2011 Dear Members of the Malaysian Bar Walk For Freedom 2011: Peaceful Assembly Bill Cannot And Must Not Become Law! Tuesday, 29 Nov 2011 at 11:30 am, From Royal Lake Club to Parliament Martin Luther King Jr once said that “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” The Malaysian Bar and indeed Malaysia is now facing such a moment of challenge and controversy — an objectionable Bill, being rushed into law with unseemly haste without adequate public consultation, which effectively robs the rakyat of our constitutional right to freedom of assembly. This Peaceful Assembly Bill (“Bill”) is far more restrictive than the current law. It is not a piece of legislation which we, as lawyers, can watch enter our statute books without standing up against it. It is not a piece of legislation which we want future generations to inherit, without us walking, and spending every ounce of our energy to oppose. If this piece of legislation makes it to the statute books, future generations would inherit a nation that is far from modern and progressive. Members of the Bar are now called upon to march to object to this Bill. The walk will take place next Tuesday, 29 Nov 2011, from the entrance of the Royal Lake Club to Parliament House, to deliver the Bar’s Proposed Amendments to the Peaceful Assembly Bill to YB Datuk Liew Vui Keong, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department.
