KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is not a tool of the government, said its chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki, who also denied accusations of selective prosecution.

Azam also refuted allegations made by opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin following the latest prosecution involving his son.

He said that MACC acts professionally regardless of individuals’ backgrounds.

“I do not agree with the statement because our actions are always professional, irrespective of whether the individual is a government official, politician of the government of the day, or anyone else.

“When there is a report and an offence, we will prosecute in court. That’s my job.

“There’s no selective prosecution here,” he told reporters after launching the book titled The Sin Of Corruption: A Religious Perspective in Putrajaya today.

Previously, Hamzah’s son was charged at the sessions court here for allegedly accepting a bribe of RM100,000 by using his influence to obtain a tender from a company six years ago.

However, the accused, Muhammad Faisal Hamzah, 40, who is also a consultant for a company, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read against him before Judge Rozina Ayob. – June 13, 2024
