PETALING JAYA: The move to set up a special committee to investigate the controversies surrounding Tan Sri Azam Baki’s alleged share ownership is receiving the backing of anti-graft watchdogs amid renewed calls for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to be answerable to Parliament.
Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) chief executive officer Pushpan Murugiah said the formation of the special committee was a necessary and procedural step, but its success in restoring public confidence will depend entirely on the composition, mandate and independence of the task force.
