State of the Nation : Legislation

ONE  of the main reasons  why Najib Razak is in jail and not under house arrest  is because the set of laws we have are too opaque, that it would require, the Home Minister to declare where ever, they planned to home the former Prime Minister as a PRISON.

LIKEWISE,  READ :the call by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for Tun Mahathir's sons to return wealth if source of wealth can't be proven is wishful thinking at best.

MALAYSIA has no such laws to force anyone who can't account for unaccounted wealth through generations.

ALTHOUGH,  we follow the Westminster model,  we do not have laws like those in the United kingdom  such as The Unexplained Wealth Orders.

THID is a general term for legislation that allows authorities to investigate assets that appear to be disproportionate to an individual's known income, requiring them to explain the source of their wealth. 

AS early as 2018,  Malaysia has been planning to introduce such laws but those plans have never materialised. READ : Govt mulls introducing unexplained wealth law.

SEVEN years have already passed by, and if Anwar Ibrahim can push this piece of legislation through, you can bet your bottom ringgit more powerful people will gather against him.
