MACC: Brickbats over haphazard manner in which info was published was uncalled for

PETALING JAYA: It was supposed to be a leap in transparency. Instead, there was confusion and criticism when the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) began displaying income figures from the voluntary asset declaration of elected representatives and government leaders.

However, the commission said the brickbats over the haphazard manner in which the information was published online were uncalled for, pointing out that it was merely following the government’s directive.
