Former High Court judge Abdul Halim Aman takes the reins of MACC from Azam Baki amid scandals
Azam and the MACC have denied any wrongdoing, calling the media reports “malicious”.
The government on Saturday said former High Court judge Abdul Halim Aman will begin his duties as MACC chief commissioner on May 13, a day after Azam’s contract ends.
“The government is confident that with his wide experience and high integrity, he will be able to strengthen efforts to improve [the agency’s] management, raise public confidence and bolster the anti-corruption agenda,” it said in a statement, hours before a protest in Kuala Lumpur demanding Azam’s removal.
