GE15: Asset declaration usually done after Cabinet appointment, says Khairy

SUNGAI BULOH: The Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Sungai Buloh parliamentary seat Khairy Jamaluddin says asset declarations are usually made after Cabinet appointments.

The incumbent Rembau MP said that he had previously declared his assets when he was appointed Science, Technology and Innovation Minister.

“I declared my assets to the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) and this has been published on its website,” the Health Minister told reporters after launching the Covid-19 New Wave Awareness Programme at the Perhebat Complex here Friday (Nov 4).

On Thursday (Nov 3), PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli declared RM18.85mil in net assets ahead of the 15th General Election (GE15).

He said PKR candidates for the general election will be required to declare their assets.

Meanwhile, Khairy advised those who have not received a booster dose of a Covid-19 vaccine to do so immediately following the current increase in cases.

He also reminded the public as well as candidates for GE15 who have any symptoms or close contacts with Covid-19 patients to do a self-test and report it on MySejahtera. - Bernama
