SHAH ALAM, March 10 — The Public Service Department's (JPA) Disciplinary Board will meet in the near future to discuss the findings of an investigation into the shareholding issue involving Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.
The New Straits Times reported Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar as saying that he received the report from a special committee chaired by Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar.
“We will convene a disciplinary board meeting soon,” he told the media after attending an event today.
Meanwhile, regarding Azam’s contract, Shamsul said the matter would be discussed in a Cabinet meeting.
On February 27, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the Special Committee’s investigation into Azam’s shareholding issue was nearing completion, and its report was expected to be submitted to the Cabinet the following week.
He added that the report’s findings would be reviewed before any further decision is made, including considering a proposal to establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI).
Earlier, the media reported that Dusuki had been appointed as the chairman of the Special Investigation Committee into the shareholding issue.
Also serving on the committee are JPA Director-General Tan Sri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz and Treasury Secretary-General Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican.
The committee was formed following a Bloomberg report alleging that Azam owned shares in a financial services company based on corporate filings.
However, at a previous press conference, he stressed that his RM800,000 shareholding in the company was made transparent and in accordance with procedures.
