Few Malaysians were suprised when the former prime minister Najib Razak was against the new government's move to require Members of Parliament (MPs) to declare their assets. He quoted that there are MPs with other sources of income, noting that some are lawyers or architects, earning salaries from other works.
It is agreed that many MPs were or are still professionals who have income from their professional careers. They can safely declare those assets, acquired with various sources of income, to the the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. There is nothing sinister about rightful sources of income and assets. The declaration is necessary as MPs are bearers of public office. This declaration will serve as a deterrent to these MPs from committing corruption whereby the source of income is illegal.
Why is Najib Worried?
As a self-proclaimed Bossku, he is not a professional or a corporate figure with other sources of income. He should be least bothered by this declaration. He may be a caring MP who likes to speak for other MPs, but no MPs with other sources of income are complaining.
Perhaps, Najib has reasons to worry about his assets which may not come from rightful sources of income. For 1 man who has claimed to receive RM2.6 billion donation from a Saudi royalty, he is a self-made billionaire by way of purely 1 donation. This is legitimately exemplary, is it not?
He has nothing to fear. His wealth is well-known in the country and the rest of the world. There is no security risk to worry about. This self-proclaimed Bossku has been going places to campaign and give speeches safely for the past years. Go ahead Najib! Tell us your wealth. We love to hear from you on this.
