Former premier Najib Abdul Razak has expressed unhappiness over the Dewan Rakyat's move to pass a motion on mandatory asset declaration for all members of Parliament.<br /><br />The Pekan MP argued it was unfair for opposition lawmakers to declare all of their assets, part of which were not derived from their parliamentary allowance.<br /><br />"We (opposition) MPs are not part of the executive [...] There are also other bodies that could probe (the assets) if there were any irregularities," he told reporters in Parliament today.<br /><br />"For example, if we are a lawyer or an architect, we will have other sources of income.<br /><br />"So if the other sources are deposited into the same account and declared as our assets, it becomes unfair, because it (the declaration) is based on our income as MPs," he said.
