Azam Baki

Malaysia has revised asset rules for officials following a scandal involving Azam Baki. The changes aim to address issues highlighted by the Azam Scandal.

Malaysia's prosecutors closed a criminal intimidation probe against Azam Baki because Albert Tei's complaint did not meet the legal threshold. The decision occurs as PM Anwar Ibrahim's government faces pressure over prosecutorial independence, with high-profile cases being dropped.

Malaysian police have completed their investigation into Azam Baki, who was previously the head of the anti-graft agency. The development is reported by NST.

Malaysia’s former anti-corruption chief, Azam Baki, is under police investigation for allegedly threatening businessman Albert Tei, a whistle-blower in a mineral licence scandal involving Sabah politicians. The case was triggered by Tei’s report, which led to a criminal intimidation probe, with statements recorded from Tei and his lawyer.

Malaysia's Anti-Corruption Commission has recovered artworks by famous artists linked to 1MDB asset recovery. The recovered assets include art pieces by Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. The recovery is part of Malaysia's efforts to reclaim assets related to the 1MDB scandal.

Thousands of protesters in Malaysia have criticized Azam Baki, the outgoing chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), as Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced that findings of an investigation into Baki's shareholdings will be disclosed after the probe concludes.

Malaysia has appointed Abdul Halim Bin Aman as the new chief of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The announcement follows protests against the previous MACC chief, Azam Baki, in Kuala Lumpur.
