Allegations raised in a Bloomberg investigative report about possible collusion between certain Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers and a “corporate mafia” network have been circulating for weeks; claims the anti-corruption agency has firmly denied.
What do these allegations reveal about the relationship between political power, regulatory power and corporate power in Malaysia?
Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks with political economist Dr Edmund Terence Gomez, an emeritus professor from the University of Malaya, who has long researched the linkages between politics, policies and enterprise. In 2021, he resigned from the MACC’s consultation and corruption prevention panel, citing concerns over how Chief Commissioner Azam Baki’s conflict of interest allegations were being handled.
