[superadmin]

PUTRAJAYA – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob should advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to suspend embattled Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Azam Baki from his duties until independent investigations are complete, said Amanah top brass.

Party deputy president Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub made the call following allegations against the chief commissioner over ownership of shares in two public-listed companies.

“Amanah is fighting on the principles of integrity and democracy, and we demand that Ismail Sabri take this action (advise the Agong) in accordance with Article 40(1) of the federal constitution to suspend Azam from his position until an independent investigation is completed.”

He said this in a press conference after handing over a memorandum to a representative from the Prime Minister’s Office here. – The Vibes, January 17, 2022
