Anwar tells why he retained Azam Baki as MACC chief FMTNews
Anwar Ibrahim said he did not want to give the impression that a new prime minister should pick a new MACC chief.
KUALA LUMPUR: Anwar Ibrahim said he decided against replacing Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Azam Baki to break the convention that a change of guard in the agency was necessary when a new prime minister is appointed. He said his decision to retain Azam, who was appointed by former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, was also due to the fact that the MACC is an independent body.
“That is why when I assumed power, I chose not to change the MACC chief commissioner chosen by Pagoh , so as to avoid the impression that a new prime minister would pick a new MACC chief,” he told the Dewan Rakyat.
