The unaudited accounts of local councils are not open to public scrutiny as these are confidential.Malaysian Association of Local Authorities said local councils are like any other government agency or private organisation whose books are not open to inspection by the public.
Residents are questioning this rationale especially in light of the council having spent RM5 million on its football team last year.
The council claims that RM4 million came from sponsorships and the remaining RM1 million from its sports fund.
