PETALING JAYA: Law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar has got his facts and law wrong in defending top graft-buster Azam Baki over his ownership of corporate shares, a PKR MP has claimed.
Sungai Buloh MP R Sivarasa told FMT that Wan Junaidi was wrong on the value of shares owned by Azam, as well as on the laws on share ownership by public servants.
Yesterday, Wan Junaidi said the shares owned by Azam were “not expensive” when they were acquired in 2016 — priced between 30 sen and 33 sen each — and that the one million units were valued at RM330,000 at the time.
However, Sivarasa said records show that shares and warrants were bought under Azam’s name between 2015 and 2016 in two public listed companies. This, he said, would have been worth some RM2 million.
For the record, Azam has said that he did not purchase the shares and that his brother had used his share account to purchase them.
