The Penang government is more keen about its top officers declaring their assets instead of signing the Putrajaya initiated integrity pledges, said Air Itam state assemblyperson Wong Hon Wai.

Wong said this was conveyed to Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Paul Low, who is in charge of policies related to transparency, during a meeting with Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Wong was responding to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) head Dzulkifli Ahmad's criticism against Penang for allegedly refusing to sign the commission's "corruption free pledge"...
