KUALA LUMPUR — The Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Tan Sri Azam Baki, today said he welcomed any independent investigation into matters related to his share ownership, insisting that he has nothing to conceal.
In a statement, Azam said he was prepared to be investigated by any independent committee established by the government to specifically examine the issue.
“I wish to stress that I am fully open to being investigated by any independent committee established by the Government to specifically examine matters related to my share ownership,” he said.
Azam added that all his financial and asset declarations had been made in accordance with existing public service regulations and through official channels, as required of all civil servants.
“I have nothing to hide. All financial and asset declarations have been made in line with the prevailing public service rules and through the prescribed official channels,” he said.
Azam said that he welcomed a process that was transparent, independent and objective in determining the facts based on evidence and in line with the principles of justice and the rule of law.
“Such an approach is important not only to defend my personal integrity, but also to maintain public confidence in MACC as an institution,” he said.
Azam further stressed that as a public servant and head of a law enforcement agency, anyone facing allegations should be prepared to be investigated openly and transparently.
“This principle must apply to all without exception. A culture of accountability cannot be selective or seasonal,” he said.
Meanwhile, he added that MACC would continue to take note of all reports and complaints lodged by any party, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and would assess all information in accordance with the law and facts obtained through lawful investigations.
“ No one is above the law, and no one should be judged solely on perceptions or media narratives,” he said.
Reaffirming his commitment to transparency, accountability and the rule of law, Azam said he would continue to cooperate fully with any lawful mechanism established to examine the matter.
“I am confident that the truth will be upheld through a fair and independent process,” he said. – February 13, 2026
