KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Azalina Othman Said said any list of former MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki’s shares cannot be publicly disclosed.She told Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung that the data is part of investigation documents, while personal information and asset declarations are protected by law.“However, the government assures that all relevant aspects, including share ownership and compliance with the regulations in force, have been examined in the investigation and appropriate action has been taken based on the findings of the committee,” she said.Meanwhile, in a separate story, Parti Bersama Malaysia’s Johor Jaya seat candidate Lau Yi Leong accused his DAP rival Lee Wern Yiing and the party of hypocrisy, alleging they took a selective stance on the use of government resources during the state polls.Lau was referring to a recent joint press conference by Lee and DAP’s Perling candidate Alan Tee, where the duo alleged that caretaker menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi had misused an Inland Revenue Board (IRB) hall for campaign activities.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
