Malaysia is awaiting the findings of a special investigation into Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Chief Commissioner Azam Baki’s share ownership, which according to the government will be presented this week.
This controversy has reignited questions about accountability at the country’s top anti-corruption body.
With calls growing for a royal commission of inquiry, the prime minister says it is still too early to decide.
But is the current process enough to restore public confidence or is a deeper independent probe needed?
Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris talks to Arief Hamizan, the head of research and policy advocacy at the the Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4 Center) and Aliran’s Charles Hector, a human rights lawyer.
