PETALING JAYA: Allegations of a “corporate mafia” network linked to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) have triggered calls from leaders across the political divide for a probe into the anti-graft agency and its chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki. MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic) said that the latest “corporate mafia” issue demands serious public attention, as corruption must not be taken lightly. The report later described this situation as a “corporate mafia” network. A Special Investigation Com­mittee led by Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Bakar was recently set up to investigate the allegations against Azam. On Feb 24, the MACC also strongly denied allegations of a “corporate mafia”.
