Speaker can move for PSC proceedings to be made public, says PAC chairman

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun had told The Star on Sunday (Jan 16) that the upcoming Wednesday (Jan 19) meeting to discuss the share trading controversy involving Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki would not be open to the public.
