PUTRAJAYA – Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Azam Baki has given his assurance that the agency will carry out its duties professionally based on the law.
In a statement today, following a courtesy call by PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to his office, he said the agency is monitored by five independent panels, which also implement their duties based on the law and according to their respective jurisdiction.
“I received a courtesy call from PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the opposition leader, at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya today.
“In the meeting, I heard several current issues raised by Anwar that are of concern to him,” he said.
According to Azam, MACC also appreciates the opposition leader’s support of the agency in its efforts to effectively weed out corruption in the country.
Meanwhile, Anwar, who is also Port Dickson MP, said he supports MACC’s action in curbing corruption in the country, as the 2020 Corruption Perceptions Index issued by Transparency International is still at worrying level. – Bernama, March 22, 2021
