‘We have your back, Azam’: MACC expresses support for its chief

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has thrown its backing to its embattled chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki amid allegations of impropriety involving the top dog.

In a memorandum of support issued this morning, the anti-graft body said the commission is united in defending the institution and its chief for the sake of its continued fight against corruption, and called for an immediate end to the ongoing imbroglio.

The statement was jointly signed by MACC’s three deputy chief commissioners – Datuk Seri Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya (operations), Datuk Seri Norazlan Mohd Razali (prevention) and Datuk Junipah Wandi (management and professionalism).

“We represent the whole of MACC in stating our stand of supporting Azam’s leadership,” the statement read.

“We are of the view that the allegations and attacks made against him are motivated by the politics of revenge, to tarnish MACC’s image and reputation.

“We urge all quarters to stop the attacks and allow the due legal process to be carried out fairly, transparently and equitably.”
