Selangor has own way of fighting graft, says MB

Before any meeting, exco members and board directors must pledge that they don’t have any interests in matters being discussed.

KLANG: The Selangor government has its own approach to address corruption by making it compulsory for all state executive council (exco) members to pledge that they do not have any interests in any papers tabled at the council meeting, said Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali.

He said it was a proactive measure by the state government to address corruption and power abuse among the exco members, as well as board of directors of state government subsidiaries and civil servants.

“Before the weekly state exco meeting, which is held every Wednesday, all exco members are required to sign a pledge which states that they have no interests in any papers tabled (at the meeting).

“Likewise, at the state government subsidiaries, such as PKNS, before a meeting is held, all the board members are required to sign a similar pledge,” he said when met by reporters after opening the Save Water Programme at Pangsapuri Pelangi Court, Jalan Pekan Baru here.

He said this in response to a statement by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad that three state governments, namely Penang, Selangor and Kelantan, had yet to give their commitment to sign the Corruption Free Pledge (IBR).

Azmin said the Selangor government supported efforts by MACC to combat corruption.
In another development, Azmin, who is also Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) vice-president, refuted an allegation that no DAP leaders were named in the line-up of Pakatan Harapan leadership.

He said DAP was given an important post, with Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng as deputy president, alongside Muhyiddin Yassin of PPBM and Mohamad Sabu of Amanah.

Last Friday, Pakatan Harapan announced its new leadership line-up with PPBM chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad as its chairman, Anwar Ibrahim as the de facto leader and Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as president.

Meanwhile, on today’s programme, Azmin said the per capita usage of treated water in Selangor was among the highest in the region at 250 litres per day and expressed the need for the people to use water prudently.
He said only 30% of treated water is used for cooking and drinking, while the remaining is used to wash vehicles and clothing and water plants.

In Singapore, the rate is only 150 litres a day, while in Thailand it is 90 litres per day, he said.

The recommended rate of per capita use of treated water by the World Health organisation (WHO) is 165 litres per day.

On water reserve margin in Selangor, he said, it was at 4.34% at the end of last year but dropped to 3.54% this year due to the increase in water demand.
