Nothing less than royal inquiry needed on MACC fiasco: ex-chief adviser - superadmin - 01-02-2022 KUALA LUMPUR – The whole debacle surrounding the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and allegations against its top leaders require nothing less than the attention of a royal commission of inquiry (RCI). This is according to MACC advisory board former chairman Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim, who is urging for an immediate and independent probe into the anti-graft body. Speaking with The Vibes, Aziz said the recent allegations of conflict of interest involving chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki made by renowned economist Prof Edmund Terence Gomez have called into question the credibility of the body. As such, he said the RCI is necessary in order to clear the good name of the commission and identify if there were instances of impropriety. “First of all, I think Gomez should make a police report if he believes there is a possibility of a cover up within the MACC,” he said yesterday. - More -
