PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang will maintain another press convention tomorrow over the shares controversy implicating Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Azam Baki.
The second such press convention inside every week will, amongst others, address the problem of the six members of the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board who’ve distanced themselves from Abu Zahar’s preliminary assertion.
“I will answer and clarify all issues including about the six board members who had taken such a stance as known by the public,” mentioned the advisory board chairman in a short textual content message yesterday.
Abu Zahar mentioned the press briefing can be held at 11am on the MACC press room.
On Saturday, six advisory board members distanced themselves from the assertion made by Abu Zahar over Azam’s buy of shares.
They are Tan Sri Ismail Omar, Datuk Seri Azman Ujang, Datuk Seri Akhbar Satar, Datuk Dr Hamzah Kassim, Datuk David Chua Kok Te and Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff.
The six board members mentioned they weren’t glad with the reasons given by Azam regardless of Abu Zahar saying in any other case through the press convention final week.
“He (Abu Zahar) said the board was satisfied with the explanations given by Azam. He further said there was no crime committed or any conflict of interest in the matter.
“We categorically wish to state that the board members at that meeting or at any time thereafter did not express such opinion as he attributed to,” the six mentioned in a joint press assertion.
The six added that the feedback had been Abu Zahar’s private views and a separate dialogue was held on the matter with a number of proposals given.
