Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki has hinted that his service contract will likely not be extended next year, saying it had already been renewed three times and faced objections from various quarters, including PKR’s Rafizi Ramli.
Speaking at the SPRM-UiTM 2025 Integrity and Leadership Day at UiTM Puncak Alam today, Azam said:
“Whoever replaces me next year… I will end my service. It has already been extended three times.”
“Many people no longer like me. Rafizi also doesn’t like me, he says don’t extend Azam Baki’s term,” he added.
Last week, Rafizi urged the government not to renew Azam’s contract, saying public trust in anti-corruption efforts must be restored following the Sabah election setback.
Azam said whether or not his contract is renewed is not important, but the anti-corruption agenda must continue.
“It doesn’t matter who takes this position. The person must continue strengthening integrity, promoting governance and enforcing anti-corruption laws without fear or favour.”
