Overview
- The Cabinet ordered a special task force led by the chief secretary to examine allegations related to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and will consider its findings for further action.
- A 2025 corporate filing shows Azam Baki held 17.7 million shares in Velocity Capital Partner, valued at about RM800,000, and Reuters confirmed the document remains on the Companies Commission website.
- Opposition figures and some government lawmakers called for Azam’s suspension, investigation or resignation, while the prime minister’s office has not responded to requests for comment.
- MACC said Azam fully complied with asset-declaration rules, and he has stated the shares were declared and disposed of in 2025 as he reiterates he has nothing to hide.
- The Public Service Department announced a review of long-standing rules on public servants’ share ownership, and separate media allegations about wider MACC misconduct remain unverified.
