Calls for independent probe into Azam and Abu Zahar

PETALING JAYA: An independent body should investigate Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki and Anti-Corruption Advisory Board chairman Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang over the controversy surrounding Azam and the acquisition of shares.

The Pakatan Harapan presidential council said both Azam and Abu Zahar should also take leave until the probe is completed.

“We are urging for the chief commissioner and advisory board chairman Abu Zahar to be investigated and take leave while investigations are ongoing on the possibility of their failure to carry out their duties in accordance to the law.
