PETALING JAYA: Four members of a parliamentary select committee (PSC) that was to grill Azam Baki tomorrow say the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief cannot override Parliament and must show up when summoned by the PSC.

At a press conference, Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong also urged the chairman of the PSC on Agencies under the Prime Minister’s Department, Abdul Latiff Rahman of PAS, to review his decision to cancel the meeting tomorrow.

He said the meeting should go ahead even if Azam did not show up as there were other matters the PSC needed to discuss, including who else to summon for questioning.

“Who is Azam Baki? Can he override Parliament? We should insist that he comes for the hearing first. If he refuses, then we can take action. We should proceed with our meeting.

“The reasons given by Azam (that the hearing cannot be held) were just excuses. If we summon him, he should come for the meeting and give his views. Come first.
