PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has been asked if he did his due diligence before appointing Tan Sri Azam Baki as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption (MACC) chief commissioner.

The question was raised by Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, who also asked whether the issue of Azam acquiring shares was brought to the attention of the MACC's Complaints Committee prior to his appointment as provided for under Section 15 of the MACC Act 2009."I assume thorough due diligence was conducted by relevant authorities prior to his appointment. Was this issue highlighted then," she said in a Facebook post on Sunday .

Azalina, who is also the special adviser to the Prime Minister, noted that Section 15 of the MACC Act 2009 allowed for the appointment of a complaints committee to monitor the conduct of MACC’s officers. The special committee comprises three senators and two MPs and is chaired by the Dewan Negara president.

Vetted under the carpet

Crony no need vetting

AzalinaOthmanS thank you for being the voice of reason and rationality in this issue... if there are more people like you in BN we still have hope...many voters have been driven away from BN because of a few rotten apples...

I like her.. she fights for right things..even she from UMNO

I dont think so

Menteri2 yg berkaitanlah yg buat keje memilih.. abah sign jer bila semua clear..

I don't think it's the right question.. even if he did, 'vet' can suit different interest.. either nation's safety or self-serving.. Wallahualam..

Soalan bodoh from Azalina. And a politically loaded one. Azam is not a political appointee like Latiffa Khoya. Azam is an officer of MACC for 30 over years. He was a Deputy already at that time. Promoting him would involve vetting process too.

This person and some Umno sour grapes gang are really anti Muhyiddin . They are so loyal to the President with 40+ cases pending. Of course Azam Baki has been vetted since the day he joined MACC. He is an officer of MACC. Not a political appointee.

Ask someone mentally challenged to do the best..hmmm

2*5

Did Muhyiddin vet you 'properly' ?

He vetted Azam’s brother probably 🤭

I scratch ur back, u scratch mine...how convenient.

AzalinaOthmanS maybe right. It looks like HR didn't do their job right, MuhyiddinYassin AzamBaki SPRMMalaysia TrustNoOne
