PUTRAJAYA: Tan Sri Azam Baki was reappointed as the head of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) as the government is satisfied with his work leading the anti-graft agency, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said he had given the MACC as well as the Attorney General full authority to carry out their duties.
“From what I see, they have carried out their duties well,” he said on Monday (May 15).
The Prime Minister said the MACC under Azam’s leadership had taken action without fear or taking any sides.
“Never before in history have the offices of ministers been raided, compromises among certain officers been identified and action taken. In that capacity, we are continuing his service,” he added.
Azam, who turned 60 on May 12, was reappointed as the MACC chief commissioner for another year.
