Protesters Demand MACC Oversight Reform
Protesters in Malaysia are demanding that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) be made directly accountable to Parliament. The demonstrations include prominent government lawmakers such as former Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli. The MACC currently holds wide-ranging powers to investigate, search, seize, and arrest suspects. Ramli has hinted at the potential formation of a new political party ahead of the next general election. The movement seeks a complete overhaul of the institution. Protesters seek to reform the MACC's wide-ranging powers regarding investigations, searches, seizures, and arrests. The demonstrators are also calling for a royal commission of inquiry to investigate alleged corporate mafia activities within enforcement agencies. This comes despite the announcement that a new MACC chief will take over from Abdul Bakki next month.
