PETALING JAYA: Four MPs from the nine-member Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) have accused Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Azam Baki of being in contempt of Parliament following the indefinite postponement of a special meeting looking into the stock-trading scandal.

The four, Sepanggar MP Datuk Azis Jamman, Kota Kinabalu MP Chan Foong Hin, Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong and Selayang MP William Leong, said it was unacceptable for Azam to decline testifying before the PSC for Agencies under the Prime Minister’s Department.
