PETALING JAYA: The government should establish an independent inquiry to investigate the allegations against the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner, after the Securities Commission (SC) was unable to conclusively determine the validity of these allegations, says Academic Prof Dr Edmund Terence Gomez.

Gomez, who had resigned from the MACC Consultation and Corruption Prevention Panel in protest over the panel's inaction towards the allegations against Tan Sri Azam Baki, pointed out that the brevity of the SC’s statement is shocking and its conclusion into the investigation is unacceptable.
