PETALING JAYA: Six Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)’s advisory board members have distanced themselves from the chairman’s decision to clear chief commissioner Azam Baki of any wrongdoing on the corporate share ownership issue.

They said MACC’s Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (ACAB) chairman Abu Zahar Ujang’s comments were entirely his personal view.

“We categorically wish to state that the board members at the meeting or at any time thereafter did not express such opinion as Abu Zahar attributed to,” they said in a statement.

According to them, prior to the press conference on Wednesday, they had a separate discussion with Abu Zahar and proposed the matter to be further referred to an independent committee, the Parliamentary Special Committee on Corruption, or the MACC’s Complaints Panel.


However, they said their views and proposals were not raised by Abu Zahar at the press conference.

“The ACAB has no investigation power as it is established only as an Advisory Board.
