AI said, why people dislike him: 

AI Overview

People's dislike of Tan Sri Azam Baki, the Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), primarily stems from a shareholding scandal involving his brother using his trading account, subsequent questions about his integrity, and his repeated contract extensions. The controversy has led to calls for his removal and protests, with some critics viewing him as a liability to the credibility of Malaysia's anti-corruption efforts. 

Key reasons for the dislike include:

• Shareholding Controversy (2021-2022): It was revealed that Azam held millions of shares in public-listed companies in 2015 while acting as the head of the MACC's investigation division. Although he argued that his brother used his account to buy the shares, this incident raised questions about conflict of interest and breach of laws regarding share ownership by civil servants.
• Perceived Lack of Accountability: Critics argue that the investigations into his shareholding were inconclusive or inadequate. The advisory board's decision that he did not commit an offence, followed by his refusal to resign, fueled public discontent.
• Repeated Contract Extensions: Azam’s tenure has been extended three times, with the most recent extension occurring in May 2025. These extensions, authorized by the Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim-led government, have frustrated opposition members, civil society groups, and even some supporters of the current government who expected reforms.
• "Corporate Mafia" Allegations: A 2026 report alleged that Azam was involved in a group known as the "corporate mafia," which purportedly worked with MACC figures to seize control of public-listed companies, sparking further calls for his removal.
• Defensive Stance against Criticisms: Azam has frequently dismissed his critics, stating "people don't like me" and that he is unmoved by calls for his resignation. This confrontational approach has intensified negative sentiment among his detractors. 

Despite these criticisms, Azam has maintained that he has done nothing wrong and that he has complied with all necessary protocols, viewing the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as the only authority who can terminate his position.
