On Thursday, Bloomberg published a report alleging that officials at the commission were helping a group of businessmen seize control of companies. Azam on Sunday said he would cooperate fully with a special committee set up by the government to investigate his shareholdings, the Star reported. The publication cited him as saying there was no reason for him to go on leave pending the probe.
