PETALING JAYA: PKR president Anwar Ibrahim has declared assets worth about RM11.2 million as of today.
Most of PKR’s 72 candidates for the general election (GE15) have declared their assets as part of the party’s campaign against corruption, with Anwar and his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail being the notable exceptions prior to today’s declaration.
The Pakatan Harapan chairman has declared a house and three plots of land worth RM10.35 million and about RM829,000 in cash and savings.
Speaking at an event in Kuala Lumpur today, Anwar urged other party leaders to follow his lead and declare their assets as well.
The asset declaration was posted on PKR’s website on a page which displays its GE15 candidates.
Anwar is standing in Tambun while Wan Azizah is a candidate in Bandar Tun Razak.
A check on PKR’s website found no information on Wan Azizah’s assets. However, a note states that the information will be updated.
PH to drop Ramanan if involved in graft
Separately, Anwar said Pakatan Harapan (PH) was ready to drop R Ramanan as its Sungai Buloh candidate if there was evidence that he was involved in corruption.
However, Anwar said as of now, there was no proof that the PKR vice-information chief was involved in graft.
The PH chairman added that he had vetted each one of the coalition’s candidates with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and police.
