PETALING JAYA: A Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer has lodged a police report over a video clip which implicated the anti-graft agency’s chief commissioner Azam Baki in the alleged Sabah mining scandal.
In the video, a woman identified as Sofia Rini Buyong claimed Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s former senior political secretary, Shamsul Iskandar Akin, met Azam to request that businessman Albert Tei’s case be “handed leniently” and resolved amicably “without dragging on”.
Tei, who is at the centre of the alleged Sabah mining scandal, is currently facing trial on two counts of giving bribes.
