PETALING JAYA: The Parliamentary Select Committee on Rights and Privileges will conduct an inquiry into MPs who fail to declare their assets once the special motion is passed, says Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof.

Mohamad Ariff told The Star that he has no power to punish an MP for failing to comply with an upcoming special motion, compelling all lawmakers to declare their assets to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and have the information displayed for three months in public.
