Anwar faces mounting public criticism for rejecting calls to put Azam on leave pending an investigation into his shareholdings. Critics have alleged hypocrisy on Anwar’s part because he had also called for the MACC chief commissioner to be suspended when Azam was investigated for another shareholding fiasco in 2022. When asked to explain, Anwar denied any inconsistency and said he believes Azam deserves due process. “If you ask me if there is a difference I can answer,” he replied to Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal. “We shouldn’t have any prejudice. Whether or not the old proposal is followed, it must still adhere to due process. There must be a transparent investigation including on his shareholdings and the corporate mafia,” Anwar added.
