PETALING JAYA: After sparking a row by distancing themselves from the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board chairman’s decision to clear the country’s top graft-buster, six members of the board had yet to respond as at 8pm yesterday to the latest statement by Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang.

Board member Datuk Seri Azman Ujang, in a WhatsApp reply, said he had no comment on Abu Zahar’s latest statement, while Datuk David Chua Kok Tee and Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff also declined to comment.
