MCA: Azam should retract LOD if he has nothing to hide


PETALING JAYA: Whistleblowers should not be targeted and if Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki has nothing to hide, he should retract his letter of demand (LOD) against anti-graft activist Lalitha Kunaratnam.

MCA spokesperson Chan Quin Er said Azam, as a high-ranking senior civil servant, would prove to the public that he had nothing to hide if he decided to retract the letter in the interest of transparency and public accountability.

“As society inevitably steers towards openness with demands for transparency from government agencies and public services, investigative journalism plays an important role in society and holds the government accountable.
