SC’s findings on Azam should be made public, says C4

PETALING JAYA: An anti-corruption watchdog has urged the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) to explain how it could not “conclusively establish” if Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki broke the law over his ownership of shares.

“We urge the SC to make public their inquiry findings and how it arrived at this uncertain conclusion,” Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) executive director Cynthia Gabriel told FMT.

“This vindicates further our position from the onset that only a full and independent probe will suffice, as it will also establish any potential breach of the public servant asset declaration laws and circulars as well as reveal the source of funds,” she said.

Stating that the country is “deep diving into further darkness”, Cynthia also called for Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to immediately convene a high-level task force to investigate the issue.

Meanwhile, Bersih chairman Thomas Fann said the SC must explain why their investigations were inconclusive.
