Was Azam lying about his trading account, ask MPs

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: MPs have questioned if Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki was lying when he said his brother had used his account to purchase shares, following the Securities Commission’s (SC) latest statement.

Earlier today, the SC said Azam was the named account holder, and had control of the trading account in question. The statement added that the top graft buster had also operated the account he opened, giving instructions to buy, sell and transfer securities from it.

Several opposition lawmakers took to social media to react to the SC’s statement, with Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii saying it seemed to imply that Azam had full control of his account and purchased the shares himself.
