Response from Terence Gomez to resignation
An immediate investigation is imperative of the serious allegations about Tan Sri Azam Baki’s business-related activities. – Bernama pic, December 29, 2021

I REFER to news reports on the statements made by Tan Sri Borhan Dolah, the Chairman of the Consultation and Corruption Prevention Panel (CPPP) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), about my resignation from this panel.

Tan Sri Borhan states that my emails to him do not name Tan Sri Azam Baki, the Chief Commissioner of the MACC.  What Tan Sri Borhan disingenuously fails to disclose is that in my emails I had five attachments with reports and information on Tan Sri Azam’s direct and indirect business ties.  The names of other individuals, including that of a previous MACC Chief Commissioner, are also listed in these attachments. 

I have appended here for the press these attachments.  I leave it to the editors of these media organizations to decide if the contents of these attachments should be disclosed. 

I see no value in engaging in an extended exchange with Tan Sri Borhan about our email correspondence.

Instead, I am attaching here all email communications between me, Tan Sri Borhan and Tan Sri Abu Zahar bin Dato’ Nika Ujang, Chairman of the MACC’s Anti-Corruption Advisory Board. I have not amended any of the contents of our email correspondence.

I am disclosing our emails because I do not wish to detract attention from the core issue at hand.  An immediate investigation is imperative of the serious allegations about Tan Sri Azam’s business-related activities. – The Vibes, December 29, 2021

Editor’s note: The email correspondences provided by the author have been withheld pending legal advice. Gomez had tendered his resignation claiming his concerns that allegations involving business interests of top MACC leadership were not entertained
