Malaysia's government has launched an investigation into Azam Baki, the chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The controversy erupted after Bloomberg News reported that Azam held shares beyond the limits allowed for civil servants. Bloomberg also alleged MACC officers helped businessmen use the commission in corporate disputes, claims which MACC denies. Azam has denied any wrongdoing. He said he is ready to cooperate with the probe and welcomed a "transparent, independent and objective process" to establish facts "based on evidence and in accordance with the principles of justice and the rule of law." Azam also stated, "A culture of accountability cannot be selective or seasonal." Critics question whether Malaysia's anti-corruption watchdog has strong enough oversight. The government’s investigation aims to address these concerns and maintain confidence in reform efforts.
