Public servants with ostentatious wealth beyond their means may find themselves on the wrong side of the law if the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)'s proposal is tabled and accepted into the MACC Act.

According to MACC Senior Deputy Director of Investigation Han Chee Rull, the proposal is line with the anti-corruption law in Hong Kong which makes it an offence for a public officer to live beyond his means.
