KUALA LUMPUR – Pakatan Harapan (PH) members of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on Agencies have pressed their chairman to carry on with tomorrow’s proceedings with or without Tan Sri Azam Baki’s attendance.

Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong said it is pertinent that the meeting be held even without the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief, to establish the terms of references pertaining to its probe into Azam’s share ownership.

Khoo said this would include finalising details on who else would be summoned by the PSC under the Prime Minister’s Department, with Azam’s brother Datuk Nasir Baki among the names being proposed.

The DAP lawmaker added that under the Standing Orders, the PSC has the power to call in any person to obtain information related to its investigations.

His remark follows Azam’s reasons not to attend tomorrow’s proceedings, which prompted the committee chairman and Kuala Krai MP Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman to postpone the meeting.

“Who is Azam Baki to say he doesn’t want to come? Can Azam override Parliament now? Why is it that when Azam issued a letter (to Latiff stating his reasons not to attend), we had to postpone our meeting?
