Malaysia’s cabinet has ordered an investigation into anti-graft chief Azam Baki over allegations of excessive shareholdings, exceeding legal limits for public officials. The probe follows a recent report highlighting Azam’s stock holdings, prompting swift government action to address potential conflicts of interest. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced the decision at a Friday press conference in Putrajaya, confirming a special committee will lead the inquiry. The investigation aims to determine whether Azam violated public service regulations, which cap share ownership to prevent corruption and financial misconduct. This move underscores Malaysia’s push for transparency in governance amid growing scrutiny of high-ranking officials’ financial dealings.
