PETALING JAYA – All 19 Muda candidates contesting in the state elections on August 12 have declared their assets, said Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
This included submitting statutory declarations (SD) and a list of accumulated assets and liabilities and the public could access it via the party’s website at undimuda.my.
Syed Saddiq said the asset declaration was carried out transparently, and that candidates who declared assets were also bound by the SD that had been signed.
“This is a good governance process…Muda has placed as a pre-condition before they are officially picked to represent Muda in the state elections.
“When done through the asset declaration process through SD, we are held accountable to that SD, and we all know that we cannot cheat in SD…(or else) action can be taken.
“We open our books…our media friends can also see (them). I think it’s fair,” he told reporters here today.
Syed Saddiq said the asset declaration process is not a gimmick; rather, it places accountability towards those who join politics. – Bernama, August 3, 2023
