Malaysian Protest Demands MACC Chief's Removal

Kuala Lumpur Protest Demands Azam Baki's Removal from MACC. A demonstration took place in Jalan Tar, Kuala Lumpur on May 25th, 2025, expressing widespread public dissatisfaction with the ongoing appointment of Tan Sri Azam Baki as the Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The protest, attended by several dozen people, featured signs calling for Baki's resignation and an end to what protesters view as political interference in the MACC. Amira Aisya, a prominent speaker at the event, stated, "This isn't the first time Malaysians have gathered to reject Azam Baki. This shows a deep-seated distrust in the government's commitment to fighting corruption." The demonstration highlights concerns over the lack of a thorough investigation into multi-million ringgit cases. The event underscores the ongoing debate about transparency and accountability within Malaysian institutions. The continued protests suggest that the issue remains a significant concern for many Malaysians.
