PUTRAJAYA: Economic affairs minister Rafizi Ramli said the new government will not be going after Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki, but will focus on ensuring the independence of the anti-graft agency.

“The priority is to make everything independent. Once we ensure that there is no interference and all are independent, then everyone should be on the right course,” he told reporters here today.

Last month, Rafizi had been quoted by the media as saying that Pakatan Harapan would go after Azam for alleged “political persecution” in raiding his company, Invoke Solutions Sdn Bhd.
