[superadmin]

KOTA KINABALU – The Sandakan police today confirmed having received a report against Lalitha Kunaratnam, who exposed the alleged impropriety of troubled Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.

District police chief Azhar Hamin said the report was lodged by an assistant enforcement officer from the Road Transport Department (RTD) on December 8.

This is the second police report against the investigative journalist after a senior MACC assistant commissioner, Mohan Munusamy, had lodged one earlier.

The RTD officer, identified as Fazli Mohamed Yasin, 48, had lodged the police report after reading the first part of Lalitha’s article titled Business Ties Among MACC Leadership: How Deep Does It Go? and part of the article of the same title.

The article was reportedly written in two parts. It delved into Azam’s alleged actions, as well as his supposed ties and ownership details within several public-listed companies.
