‘Remarks are chairman’s own’


PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang’s remarks that Tan Sri Azam Baki is cleared of any wrongdoings were his personal views and not the stance of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (ACAB), say the other members of the seven-man panel.

Six of them have issued a statement to distance themselves from Abu Zahar, the chairman of the board, saying that the latter’s remarks did not reflect the board’s views, which were not addressed during the press conference on Jan 5.
