Advisory board urged to explain decision to clear Azam Baki of wrongdoing after only 'single meeting'


PETALING JAYA: The Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (Acab) has been urged to explain its decision to clear Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki of wrongdoing in the purchase of shares after just "a single meeting", without even conducting a thorough investigation.

The Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (Ideas) said if the decision to absolve Azam can be made merely based on the explanation given by him, then Acab has not carried out its duties properly.
