00:00A former law minister has suggested that the government emulate Indonesia when it comes
00:06to appointing its top graphbuster.
00:10In a post on X, Zaid Ibrahim said the republic implements a multi-level selection process
00:16to appoint a chief commissioner.
00:18He said the Indonesian president appoints a selection panel comprising reputable and
00:22long-serving community members, including from the police force.
00:28The panel invites applicants, including members of the public, to submit their names and resumes,
00:33and after extensive interviews, it submits a list of nominees to the president, who must
00:38then obtain parliament's consent to nominate the chief commissioner of the anti-graft agency.
00:43Zaid's call follows criticism of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Chief Commissioner
00:48Azam Bakyi, claiming that insufficient information was hampering the probe into an alleged mining
00:54scandal in Sabah.
00:57In 2023, Law and Institutional Reform Minister Azalina Othman Zaid revealed that the government
01:02was reviewing the mechanism for the appointment of the MACC chief commissioner.
