KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — Tan Sri Azam Baki’s membership in the National Anti-Financial Crime Centre (NFCC) Advisory Board has nothing to do with his previous position as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
Anwar said Azam’s appointment to the board falls under the authority of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and remains valid until 2027.
“The appointment, if I am not mistaken, runs until 2027.
“It can only be revoked by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. His appointment is not tied to the MACC chief commissioner post,” he told reporters after Friday prayers at Masjid As-Sodiqin, Taman Kobena, here today.
Earlier, the National Financial Crime Prevention Centre (NFCC) clarified that Azam is still a member of its Advisory Board.
NFCC director-general Datuk Seri Shamshun Baharin Mohd Jamil said in a statement that Azam’s appointment is for a three-year term from Sept 20, 2024, to Sept 19, 2027. — Bernama
