Azam responds to anti-MACC protesters; PKR student leader denies Anwar no-confidence claim

KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Outgoing MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki has questioned motives behind the organising of protests against the anti-graft agency, dismissing such displays from “problematic” individuals seeking to serve their self-interests.Azam, whose contract is due to expire tomorrow, asserted that those who hold demonstrations outside the MACC’s headquarters, criticise the MACC or lodge police reports are plagued by “problems” of their own, whether in the form of emotional issues or legal matters.“Some have been charged in court, (but) they choose to gather in front of our office - maybe they are hoping for sympathy so that their case will be withdrawn,” he theorised during a podcast session which aired today.He said this when asked for his thoughts on those who had supposedly attempted to “destabilise” the MACC by issuing criticisms, holding protests, and filing police reports.Meanwhile, in a separate story, barely an hour after PKR’s student wing, Mahasiswa Keadilan Malaysia (MKM), issued a statement on “losing confidence” in the party under the leadership of Anwar Ibrahim, the wing’s secretary-general, Aqeef Salih, issued a denial.Afqeef claimed that the earlier media statement did not represent the wing’s official stance.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
