Groups question whether advisory board thoroughly probed shares issue


PETALING JAYA: A day after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki explained his ownership of a substantial number of shares in two companies several years ago when he was the director of investigations, the outcry persists with groups calling for a further probe into the matter.

The Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) said the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (ACAB) must explain its decision to clear Azam of wrongdoing in the share purchase after “a single meeting”.
