Azam Baki

Azam Baki is the Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). He is currently at the center of a controversy regarding his stock ownership, with allegations that he owned shares exceeding the limits for public officials. This has led to calls for his resignation and investigations into potential abuse of power within the MACC. A special committee has been formed to investigate the allegations, and Azam Baki was summoned to explain the matter. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim initially defended Azam Baki, urging critics to consider his explanation, but the government is now considering a royal commission to investigate the broader allegations against the MACC. The controversy has raised concerns about the integrity of the MACC and the government's commitment to reform, with public rallies demanding Azam Baki's arrest. The MACC, under Azam Baki, is also involved in seeking to seize overseas assets linked to a Saudi prince.
