Asset declaration: 'Very good' cooperation from MPs, says Latheefa

MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya has commended the majority of MPs for declaring their assets, and said that the agency is now collecting information on their liabilities.

"As far as Parliament is concerned, I think we are getting very good cooperation in terms of the type of declaration that they (the MPs) put in.

"We also need to understand, it's not just asset declaration per se, but also their liabilities. We are in the midst of collecting that," she told the media in Putrajaya.

Latheefa explained that both asset and liability declarations will be put up on the MACC website, although certain details would be withheld to protect the MPs and their privacy.

She said there were MPs who had not declared their assets because they claimed that they had not received the right form.

"Some of them actually went to the Human Resources Management Information System (HRMIS)... so there's a mix-up in term of procedures," she added.
