TI-M and the Bar laud MACC Act amendment


PETALING JAYA: Transparency International-Malaysia (TI-M) and the Bar Council have expressed their support to the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission’s (MACC) call for the law to be amended to give the anti-graft body more powers to probe individuals suspected of living beyond their means.

TI-M president Datuk Akhbar Satar said the commission does not have any legal provision at present to compel a person with “tremendous wealth” which does not match the income in their job position to declare his or her assets.
