Malaysia Anti-Graft Chief Says He’s Open to Probe on Shares

Malaysia’s anti-corruption chief Azam Baki said he’s fully open to being investigated about his shareholdings by any independent committee created by the government, days after a report about his stock ownership triggered a public outcry and calls for his resignation.

“I have nothing to hide,” Azam, chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, or MACC, said in a statement Friday. “All financial and asset declarations have been made in accordance with the prevailing public service regulations and through the prescribed official channels, as required of every public officer.”
