THE government’s move to make it compulsory for chief executive officers of government-linked companies (GLCs) and government-linked investment companies (GLICs) as well as members of the Judiciary to declare their assets to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) bodes well for graft prevention efforts, “PM: Heads of GLCs, GLICs and members of the judiciary must declare assets” (The Star, Sept 19; online at https://bit.ly/3qUVzcT).
The current asset declaration mechanism for government officials, members of Parliament (MPs) and senators would also be strengthened to boost the government’s credibility and integrity, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob when he announced the above.
