Opposition ‘won’t back down’ over Azam Baki case, Guan Eng says as Sungai Buloh MP’s aide faces MACC court charge

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 24 — DAP has asked how many more Opposition leaders will be subject to “reprisals and revenge” for calling for investigations into Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Azam Baki’s alleged proxy share trading.

Its secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said this as R. Sivarasa’s service centre manager, KR Naveen, who is also his nephew, is expected to be charged in court with an alleged corruption offence today.

The PKR MP for Sungai Buloh had alleged that the MACC decided to reopen investigations into a 2017 corruption case involving Naveen after he raised the issue of Azam’s share ownership in the Dewan Rakyat.

“Since many Opposition MPs had also raised the Azam shares shenanigans in Parliament, does that mean they can expect to be hounded and framed with trumped-up charges by the MACC?
