DAP: MACC chief, AG must resign over LCS scandal
- 2 years ago
The DAP has reiterated its call for the resignation of MACC chief Azam Baki and Attorney-General Idrus Harun over the duo's alleged failure to act on the Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) scandal.
DAP national chairperson Lim Guan Eng said both Azam and Idrus have so far only acted upon the instruction of Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, despite an existing report from 2019 that uncovered the RM9 billion scandal.
"To fail to act on public complaints and from the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee until requiring a special directive from the prime minister shows both men are unfit for their positions as MACC chief commissioner and attorney-general.
"This further highlights the importance for both posts to be independent of the prime minister's control to avoid being misused as a political weapon," said the Bagan MP in a statement.
