KUALA LUMPUR, February 13. 2026 – Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Haji Azam Baki, Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM), has publicly addressed persistent allegations related to his personal share ownership and other conduct issues in a detailed statement released via the official SPRM X account on 13 February 2026.
The statement, presented in a 10-point series accompanied by a video, sees Azam Baki reaffirming his willingness to face independent scrutiny while defending his compliance with public service declaration rules.
Key points from the statement include:
1. Azam Baki expressed full openness to investigation by any independent committee established by the Government specifically to examine matters concerning his share ownership.
2. He emphasized having nothing to hide, stating that all financial and asset declarations were made in accordance with prevailing public service regulations through official channels.
3. He welcomed any transparent, independent, and objective process based on evidence and principles of justice and rule of law.
4. Such an approach, he argued, is essential not only to protect his personal integrity but also to maintain public confidence in SPRM as an institution.
5. He stressed that any individual facing allegations should be open to independent and transparent investigation — a principle he believes must apply universally without exception.
6. Accountability culture, he said, cannot be selective or seasonal.
7. SPRM continues to take note of every report and complaint, including those from NGOs, evaluating them based on law and facts obtained through legitimate investigations.
8. No one is above the law, and no one should be judged solely on perceptions or media narratives.
9. Throughout his service, he remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.
10. He pledged full cooperation with any lawfully established mechanism to examine the matter, expressing confidence that truth would prevail through a fair and independent process.
The controversy surrounding Azam Baki’s alleged shareholdings has simmered for some time, periodically resurfacing in public discourse and media. No formal charges have been announced in relation to the current statements.
SPRM has not issued additional clarifications beyond the posted thread at the time of this report. The public and anti-corruption observers continue to watch closely for any developments regarding potential independent review mechanisms.
