MACC chief commissioner Adam Baki insists his officers treated former finance minister Lim Guan Eng fairly and with respect, challenging the DAP leader to take any complaints to the police. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, August 8, 2020.

LIM Guan Eng can lodge a police report, or take the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to court if he felt that he was treated unfairly during his arrest earlier this week, said anti-graft agency chief commissioner Azam Baki today.

Azam said there was no double standard over Lim’s arrest and detention, after the former finance minister hit out, alleging he spent the night on the wood floor in the lock-up.

  • Ah I don't think we are talking about mistreatment - majority of us had issue with the fair treatment.. MARA apartment purchase in Melbourne, corruption in sports ministry, foreign worker import permit etc etc

    Those are with solid evidence..

    So ask yourself - have you treated every case fairly?

  • Why can't you provide a comfortable mattress and pillow for detainees? This is simple human decency. You need not be so defensive Azam Baki, unless of course there is indeed something to defend

  • We don't have to go to Court to expose double standards, bias, and lack of professionalism, Azam Baki.
    If you are not up to the job handed on a platter to you by an illegitimate government, then RESIGN.

  • Any person who is remanded must be presumed innocent. It is inhuman to treat even convicted criminals like this but a person on remand should be housed in basic but clean cell with a bed off the floor and bedding. You would think that given the number of PH MPs who had suffered prison, they would have done something about it when they were in power.

  • My view is that all arrested individuals are innocent until found guilty.
    Further, they should never be treated as a prisoner until they are charged in Court after being given the opportunity to make a plea for bail.

  • A public servant talking as if he owns the country with so much power! Yes, that is normally the case as he's appointed by his political master, obeying & acting as ordered by his master. He feels emboldened because his masters are behind him! Truly corruptable and of little principle & little integrity. A typical trait of those type
