Kuala lumpur: Former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki stated he will fully cooperate with the police concerning investigations into allegations of criminal intimidation linked to him.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Azam has been in contact with the police and is prepared to provide a statement to assist in the investigation. He described the allegations made by businessman Albert Tei as baseless and emphasized that he has never had any dealings with Tei. Azam clarified, 'Honestly, I have never dealt with him, never communicated with him, and never sent my lawyer to speak with him,' when contacted today.

Azam also expressed his willingness to support the investigation into the allegations, while urging the authorities to investigate Tei as well. He mentioned that he is considering taking legal action.

Yesterday, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk M. Kumar indicated that the police would summon Azam soon to assist in investigations under Section 506 of the Penal Code. This investigation follows a police report lodged by Tei on May 13, alleging that he received threats from the former MACC chief commissioner while attempting to expose alleged corruption scandals involving politicians in Sabah.
