Malaysian Government Rejects Request to Disclose Former Graft Chief's Share Records

The Malaysian government has officially declined a lawmaker's request to disclose the shareholding records of former anti-corruption chief Azam Baki. This decision follows months of scrutiny after allegations surfaced that Baki held millions in shares across nine different companies. While Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim previously signaled a plan to replace the anti-graft chief due to misconduct allegations, the administration has maintained a cautious approach to publicizing the findings of internal investigations. The refusal to release the data aligns with earlier reports that the Prime Minister opposed the immediate public release of a cabinet-ordered probe into the matter. Since early 2026, political figures have pushed for a formal suspension and investigation to protect government integrity. However, the latest rejection of the shareholding data request suggests the government is prioritizing internal processes over full public disclosure of the former official's financial records.
