Revealing the asset declarations of ministers and their immediate family members to the public should not be done, "as this may endanger them".
"If we make these details public, it may endanger the individuals concerned," Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz said today.
"This is especially so as it will also include personal details, on which we also have laws to protect against indiscriminate distribution," Nazri told a press conference in Putrajaya.
Asked for details of such "dangers", he would only say that disclosing one's personal wealth to the public at large may present dangers if outsiders knew about the extent of the wealth and properties.
Nazri did not want to elaborate further on this.
