Azam Baki says MACC retirement will not silence him, but has no plans for politics
KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 — Tan Sri Azam Baki said he will not step away from public discourse after retiring as chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
The outgoing MACC chief commissioner said he remains prepared to share his views on governance and anti-corruption matters when the need arises.
“I will continue to contribute whatever I can to the country and society,” he said in a podcast session aired on NST Online’s YouTube channel.
“When the time comes and I feel there is a need to speak up, I will continue to offer constructive views,” he added.
He also said he had no plans to join politics or go into business, saying neither was a field he wished to pursue.
“Politics is not my field. As for business, I do not know how to do business,” he said jokingly.
Azam is due to retire tomorrow after 42 years of service with the Anti-Corruption Agency and later MACC.
