Malaysia’s government will form a special committee to investigate allegations against the country’s anti-corruption chief, following a media report alleging a breach of shareholding laws.
The task force will be led by the country’s Chief Secretary to the Government Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said during his weekly press conference.
Earlier this week, Bloomberg cited a corporate filing from last year as saying that Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki held 17.7 million shares in a financial services company that were currently worth about $205,000, well above $25000 limit allowed for public servants.
