The newly-minted Selangor government today decided that all members of the state cabinet will be required to make public their assets declaration.
However, the 11-member executive council has imposed a number of conditions on the government’s unprecedented move.
Exco members have to submit their assets details to the mentri besar every six months but only “general information” of their declarations would be made public.
All spouses and children of executive councillors are also required to file their declarations, but children who are above 21 years old are exempted from doing so.
Mentri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim told a press conference after the exco meeting today that government enforcement agencies will be provided copies of the assets declarations so that they could launch probe, if necessary.
Meanwhile, in Perak, Mentri Besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, announced today that his Pakatan Rakyat government will follow the example of the new state government in Penang to have an open tender system for public projects.
He added that priority of such projects will go to contractors from the state.
Mohammad Nizar also said that his government will be issuing permanent land titles to all new villages in Perak.
