Azam Baki has expressed his gratitude to Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar for consenting to his reappointment as MACC chief commissioner for a one-year term, effective from tomorrow until May 12, 2026.

Azam said in a statement that the king’s consent was a great honour for him and the entire MACC staff.

He also extended his appreciation to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for continuing to place his trust in him and for supporting him in carrying out the responsibility.

“Fully aware of the trust and responsibility placed upon me, I will continue to lead the MACC’s efforts in combating all forms of corruption, misappropriation, and abuse of power, in order to help build a prosperous, just, and peaceful nation,” he said.

He also prayed that God would bless the king and the prime minister as they lead the nation towards a glorious future.

On May 9, Chief Secretary to the Government Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar announced that Azam had been reappointed as MACC chief commissioner for another year, effective May 13.

Azam, 62, had been reappointed twice to the role for one-year terms - from May 12, 2023, to May 11, 2024, and from May 12, 2024, to May 12, 2025.

Meanwhile, Azam said the MACC remained committed to improving Malaysia’s Corruption Perceptions Index score to ensure the country continued to earn international trust and respect.
