KUALA LUMPUR: Crowds have begun swarming the city centre for a protest calling for Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Azam Baki’s resignation following his latest shareholding controversy.
Over 150 participants, dressed in black attire, gathered in front of the Sogo shopping mall here amid heavy police presence.
They were heard chanting “Step down, step down, Azam Baki” and “Rise up, youths” while holding placards with the words “We are against double standards” and “Exposed by Bloomberg.”
Also sighted at the gathering are Subang MP Wong Chen, Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, acting Muda president Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz, controversial businessman Albert Tei, and activist Hishamuddin Rais.
Organisers of the rally, the #TangkapAzamBaki Secretariat, had claimed that the MACC chief’s share ownership had eroded public confidence in the anti-graft agency.
