Waytha says no assets left after 'spending all' in fight for Indians

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department P Waythamoorthy has claimed that he has no assets to declare to the MACC.

Waythamoorthy, who is also Hindraf chairperson, claimed that all his earnings have been spent in his fight for the Indian Malaysian community over the years.

"All my life, I've been an activist; all my income was spent on the struggle for the community of the Indian poor.

"I was also a lawyer, but I do not have any (assets), as for a long time, I spent all my income like that (fighting for the community)," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.

The minister, who oversees the national unity and social wellbeing portfolio, was identified as one of several Pakatan Harapan lawmakers yet to declare their assets, according to the MACC asset declaration website.

According to the MACC, 13 MPs have yet to submit their declarations, along with 24 government administrative members, including political secretaries.
