[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A senior lawyer has asked the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) to step in and audit Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki to ascertain if he had made the necessary declarations on his shareholdings that are in question now.

SN Nair said what the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) declared was based on whether he had violated the specific act that showed whether he was in control of his share trading account.

“Now it has been proven that he was in control, therefore he must have financed the purchase.

“As he may have made profits during the period, a LHDN audit will show if he has violated the Income Tax Act.
