KUALA LUMPUR — Former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki is preparing for legal action against businessman Albert Tei who has accused him of making threats.
Azam said Tei’s allegations are baseless and that he never had any dealings with the latter.
“Honestly, I have never dealt with him, never communicated with him, and never sent my lawyer to speak with him,” Azam told Bernama today.
He said he will give his full cooperation to the police in relation to investigations into allegations of criminal intimidation linked to him.
He said he has been in contact with the police and is prepared to provide a statement to assist in the investigation.
Welcoming the probe, Azam also urged authorities to investigate Tei.
Yesterday, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk M. Kumar said police would summon Azam in the near future to assist in investigations under Section 506 of the Penal Code.
The 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. – May 27, 2026
