Walking The Talk
The trio’s wealth, or the lack of it, is a stark exception to a longstanding rule in Malaysian politics.

Meanwhile, rival candidates had been under increasing pressure to reveal their net worth.
PAS said it does not intend to declare assets because it is worried about many negative effects.

PAS added that only communists and socialists would declare assets.
The Islamist party also claimed it would be embarrassing as most of its PAS leaders have no assets.
