Special tightened security measures to protect Azam Baki

SPRM, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) tightened measures at an event attended by its chief commissioner, Tan Sri Azam Baki, today, deploying its security unit following a protest-related incident last week.

Quoting news by Sinar Harian, FMT reported that personnel from MACC’s security unit were stationed at every entrance to the Certified Integrity Officer convocation ceremony, which took place at the Bangi Avenue Convention Centre in Kajang.

However, MACC later clarified that the personnel were from the agency’s security unit.

According to the Malay daily, the event, which began at 8.30am, proceeded smoothly without any untoward incident.

It was attended by members of the Certified Integrity Officer Accreditation Board and senior MACC officers.

The security measures were also supported by auxiliary police and the police force.

It is understood that the heightened security was implemented to prevent a repeat of the incident that occurred during an event at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur on 7 April.

During that incident, several protesters staged a “silent protest” as Azam was delivering a speech at the Wacanah Ilmiah Perdana event.

About six minutes into Azam’s address, a protester holding a placard appeared in front of the stage where the MACC chief was speaking.

Another emerged from behind seconds later, carrying a placard calling for Azam’s arrest, believed to be in relation to the MACC chief’s shareholdings case.

A total of three activists – Liga Rakyat Demokratik president Hamdin Nordin, Liga Mahasiswa Malaysia activist Ahsanul Akmal Sulam, and Mandiri coordinator Fakrurrazzi Khairur Rijal – were arrested in connection with the incident.

A three-day remand order was obtained for the trio to assist in investigations for several offences, including obstruction of a public servant, incitement, criminal intimidation, and trespass. However, they were released on the second day of remand.
