  PSC must quiz all involved in Azam enquiry, govt told
Posted by: superadmin - 01-14-2022, 06:12 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

PETALING JAYA: Civil society groups have urged the government to call all relevant parties to meet with the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) for Agencies under the Prime Minister’s Department to discuss Azam Baki’s share ownership, and for the hearings to be broadcast live to the public.

This would help preserve the people’s confidence in Parliament as a check on the executive branch, the organisations said in a statement.

Signatories to the statement include the Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih), the Institute for Political Reform and Democracy, ENGAGE, Undi18, the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS), the Wisdom Foundation and Bait Al-Amanah.

  PSC recommends probe into Azam Baki, says Rais Yatim
Posted by: superadmin - 01-14-2022, 03:46 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

KUALA LUMPUR – The Parliamentary Special Committee (PSC) on Corruption has resolved that an investigation must be conducted into Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Azam Baki over the reported purchase of public shares worth millions of ringgits with his trading account.

The committee’s chairman Tan Sri Rais Yatim, who is Dewan Negara speaker, said this was the outcome from the latest meeting held by PSC to discuss various issues concerning combatting graft in the country. Among the things deliberated on included the controversy surrounding Azam.

He stressed that Azam has pledged to cooperate with regards to any probe against him. However, he may not be suspended in the interim.

“The practice is that when a civil servant is investigated, the officer in question should be suspended temporarily.

“But there are some views saying (what Azam did) is not criminal in nature and might merely be a wrongdoing. So it’s best to leave it to investigators.

“I am also aware that in other high-profile cases, civil servants were not put on leave or suspended,” he said during a press conference in Parliament today.

  Explain why high profile cases dropped, AG told
Posted by: superadmin - 01-14-2022, 03:36 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: AG-Kalidas-140122.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Bar has called on Attorney-General Idrus Harun to provide reasons for the discontinuation of criminal cases of public interest.

Its president, AG Kalidas, said transparency was a central tenet in the rule of law and the basis for public trust and confidence.

Kalidas said the attorney-general was given wide discretionary powers to institute proceedings for a criminal offence. As such, the powers must be exercised with full transparency.

  #TangkapAzamBaki rally in KL?

PETALING JAYA: There are reports that a rally will be held in Kuala Lumpur calling for the resignation of embattled Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki.

It is, however, unclear as to who is organising the rally, said to be taking place on Jan 22.

A poster with the likeness of Azam and the words “Tangkap Azam Baki” has gone viral on social media, with the hashtag #TangkapAzamBaki now trending.

The poster also includes a call to “Reform MACC”.

  PAS drops Khairuddin as appointed committee member
Posted by: superadmin - 01-14-2022, 03:28 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

PETALING JAYA: Former plantation industries and commodities minister Khairuddin Aman Razali has been dropped as an appointed PAS committee member, less than two months after being reappointed to the role.

Party president Abdul Hadi Awang confirmed the matter today, Utusan Malaysia reported.


“The matter was handled by PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan. Of course, there is a reason (for his dismissal). In the party, there must be discipline.

“Whoever does not follow, he can be transferred – to work someplace else, or suspended or even sacked,” Hadi told reporters after Friday prayers in Marang today.

The decision was made at a PAS meeting held at the party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur recently.

  Lithuanian govt faces growing domestic opposition over anti-China policy
Posted by: superadmin - 01-13-2022, 08:34 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

Growing opposition among Lithuanian politicians is tearing apart its government over the country's wrong move of allowing the opening of a "Taiwan representative office," with the opposition party leader urging its foreign minister to step down, and Chinese observers said that the opposition will dominate politics in the Baltic country and may eventually change the name of the office.

Lithuanian Deputy Foreign Minister Mantas Adomenas said the Foreign Ministry failed to predict China's strong response to such anti-China policy, saying that before deepening ties with the Taiwan region, the Foreign Ministry considered possible "retaliation" from China, but did not expect Beijing to go after Lithuania's trading partners in Europe, Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT) reported on Monday.

Also on Monday, Vilija Blinkeviciute, leader of the opposition Social Democratic Party (LSDP), said Lithuania, in cooperation with EU members and international partners, could consider renaming the representative office to reduce tensions with China. She urged Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis to step down, saying the reckless decision to clash with China was a big mistake that all Lithuanian people are paying for, local media reported.

  Why airplanes might soon have just one pilot
Posted by: superadmin - 01-13-2022, 08:28 PM - Forum: Travels - No Replies

[Image: http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam...loseup.jpg]

(CNN) — If you boarded a passenger plane in 1950 and peeked into the cockpit, you would have seen five people in there (almost certainly men): two pilots, a radio operator, a navigator and a flight engineer.

Over the years, technical advances in radio communications, navigation systems and on-board monitoring equipment gradually removed the need for the last three, making it possible to safely fly a passenger plane with just two pilots. That has been the norm in commercial aviation for about 30 years.

Soon, however, things could streamline further, and one of the two remaining pilots -- technically the first officer -- could soon go, leaving behind only the captain. Many smaller and military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, but for commercial aviation this would mean venturing into a brave new world.

  After comedy of errors, MACC panel members must resign
Posted by: superadmin - 01-13-2022, 08:17 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

From Walter Sandosam

Integrity is a virtue which has taken a leave of absence from the Malaysian scene, be it in public service or the corporate sector.

The conflicting statements being issued and the comedy of errors at press conferences by the purportedly independent oversight panels to shed light on the on-goings at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) have infuriated the public. In the process, the trust element on the institutional infrastructure has taken a severe whipping.

In view of the damage inflicted on the MACC, the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (ACAB) chair and the ACAB members (in light of the press conference of Jan 11) should summarily, as persons of integrity, submit their letters of resignation to the palace, as opposed to the incongruous and ridiculous view that “we’re leaving it to the King and government to decide”.

When both the ACAB chair and ACAB members taken collectively have not performed up to expectations and are subject to public ridicule, an honourable exit is the only way forward. The view expressed that the authorities are “free to investigate” is incongruous as it reflects the board’s ineptitude.

  Securities Commission to call up Azam Baki’s brother over MACC chief’s stock trading
Posted by: superadmin - 01-13-2022, 06:31 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: azam_baki2_05012022.JPG]

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 — The Securities Commission of Malaysia (SC) will be calling up the brother of Tan Sri Azam Baki for an interview over alleged violation of stock trading laws by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner.

According to sources familiar with the matter, Nasir Baki is set to give his statement to the regulatory body soon as to why and whether he chose to use his brother’s share trading account to buy shares in 2015, since it was understood that he has his own trading account.

Malay Mail also understands that investigators will be looking into any financial transactions between the two brothers to determine whether an offence has been committed under the Securities Industry (Central Depositories) Act (SICDA).

Malay Mail has contacted the SC for verification and further comments.
