• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support that amendment. In fact, I would like to commend the Committee for putting a hold on this clause because what would have happened is that, if for example, you forget to declare what you have and which is not proceeds of crime, it would mean that you would have committed an offence. So, at least, this is corrected so that we protect innocent people who may not concede to this. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was thinking that, once you remove Clause 17(2), then what really is left is more of cleaning ... view
