KUALA LUMPUR – Former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) panel member Prof Edmund Terence Gomez believes that there is a “shroud of secrecy” regarding the allegations against its chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.

Speaking to The Vibes, he pointed out that so far, the body’s advisory board chairman Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang and Gomez’s former boss Tan Sri Borhan Dolah, who chairs the Consultation and Corruption Prevention Panel, are reluctant to investigate the issue.

“Why is it that the chairman of the advisory board and the chairman of my panel, after initially deciding to have a meeting, decided not to go ahead with it?

“This seems to suggest that there does not seem to be an arm’s-length relationship between the advisory board and the chief commissioner of MACC.

“This seems to be – and you used the word cover-up – this seems to be an attempt not to pursue this investigation further into this complaint that we received.
