KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) leadership needs to be reviewed and reshuffled after publicly supporting its embattled chief Tan Sri Azam Baki.
Perlis Mufti Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, better known as Dr Maza, said the anti-graft body’s support is premature, as investigations into Azam’s alleged impropriety have yet to be completed.
“They (MACC) should be stern in protecting MACC’s dignity, and to seek a just and transparent investigation.”
He said MACC has spoken “unprofessionally” and “strangely” on the issue, although battling graft is the agency’s main function.
“Their boss’ statement that his account was used by his brother was clearly very odd and weird. MACC should be the most sensitive party.”
It also did not escape the mufti’s notice, as he chided views put forward by some Islamist leaders.
He called for Malaysians, particularly Muslims, to rise and fight against corruption as it is a religious duty, and slammed Islamists over their preoccupation with personal moral sins.
