No News Is Bad News 
When MACC thinks it is an untouchable ‘legal’ God
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1, 2025: Malaysian Anti-Corruption (MACC) Chief Commissioner Azam Baki thinks he and MACC are immune to the law.
Azam acts like he is the Almighty and can do whatever he and MACC likes.
The MACC probes graft/corruption and nothing else.
He and MACC summoned businessman Albert Tei’s lawyer, Mahajoth Singh, for questioning.
Like Tei, is Mahajoth being probed for graft/corruption in the Sabah mining scandal?
If not, what business is it of the MACC to question Mahajoth?
No News Is Bad News reproduces below two news reports of legal-linked bodies slamming the MACC for undermining the justice system and our previous postings:
Malaysian Bar slams MACC for ‘breaching legal privilege’ in Albert Tei probe
The Bar says summoning the businessman's lawyer violates Section 46 of the MACC Act and undermines the justice system.
Malaysian Bar president Ezri Abdul Wahab said legal professional privilege enables clients to seek confidential legal advice ‘without fear of reprisal or breach of confidentiality’.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Bar has criticised the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for summoning the lawyer representing businessman Albert Tei, saying the move breaches legal professional privilege and threatens the rule of law.
Bar president Ezri Abdul Wahab said the Bar condemns MACC’s action in the “strongest terms”.
He said it contradicts Section 46 of the MACC Act 2009, which prohibits enforcement agencies from compelling privileged lawyer-client communications without first obtaining a High Court order.
Ezri said the Bar stands ready to support or initiate appropriate legal action to uphold the rule of law, safeguard the integrity of legal representation, and defend the fundamental right to confidential legal advice.
“This is a serious encroachment on legal professional privilege,” he said in a statement.
“Privilege cannot be treated as overridden merely because an investigation is under way.
“Any attempt to circumvent these protections undermines the clear intent of Parliament and the rule of law.”
The statement follows MACC’s issuance of a notice to lawyer Mahajoth Singh, who is representing Tei in a corruption probe.
Mahajoth has denied holding any key evidence, saying the documents listed by MACC are protected by solicitor-client privilege.
He also described the allegations as “false and outrageous”.
Ezri said legal professional privilege enables clients to seek confidential legal advice “without fear of reprisal or breach of confidentiality”, adding that this protection remains intact even when the request comes from an enforcement authority.
He said the Bar has consistently reminded enforcement bodies that privileged documents are off-limits unless the client consents or the High Court orders disclosure.
“Legal professional privilege is not a convenience, it is essential to an effective justice system,” he said.
“The Malaysian Bar remains resolute in defending that principle.”
LFL slams MACC for summoning lawyer, citing intimidation and breach of privilege
THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has ignited fierce criticism after summoning prominent lawyer Mahajoth Singh for questioning in its investigation into businessman Albert Tei, who was arrested alongside former Anwar Ibrahim aide Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin on bribery allegations.
Rights group Lawyers For Liberty (LFL) slammed the move as unlawful and an act of blatant intimidation of a lawyer acting for his client.
LFL chairman Zaid Malek accused the MACC of trampling solicitor-client privilege and demanded Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki immediately withdraw the summons.
“The MACC’s statutory mandate is to investigate corruption. It is not to interrogate counsel,” Zaid said, warning that such actions erode public trust in the justice system.
The case centres on claims that Tei paid bribes to Shamsul Iskandar, the Hang Tuah Jaya MP, to recover funds allegedly channelled earlier to several Sabah assemblymen. Both men are currently under a six-day MACC remand.
Separately, MACC strongly denied allegations that its officers pointed a firearm at Tei’s head during the dawn raid on his home.
Azam Baki confirmed a police report had been lodged against those spreading the claim, describing it as slander intended to disrupt the probe. Tei’s wife, identified only as Lee, earlier alleged officers used excessive force and prevented the couple’s lawyer from meeting Tei.
The summons of Mahajoth Singh has revived calls for stronger legal safeguards and clearer boundaries on MACC powers when lawyer-client confidentiality is at stake. —Nov 30, 2025

Sabah’s mining scandal probe shit hitting the ceiling fan?
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30, 2025: Is the Sabah mining scandal graft probe shit hitting the ceiling fan?
Are the high-profile suspects and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission panicking as more evidence emerge?
Is businessman Albert Tei’s lawyer, Mahajoh Singh, being probe for graft?
If not, why is the MACC demanding to question Mahajoh Singh?
MACC’s unusual move comes just two days after masked and armed officers stormed Tei’s home following shocking revelations that named MACC chief commissioner as complicit in an explosive graft and conspiracy scandal involving the Prime Minister's Office.
No News Is Bad News reproduces below MalaysiaNow’s news report on the “ticking time bomb” case:
Now, Azam's MACC summons Tei's lawyer for questioning as PMO scandal saga deepens
Mahajoth Singh was told to appear before MACC on Sunday morning, a move condemned by lawyers as unlawful and a breach of client confidentiality.
November 30, 2025 11:58 AM
Mahajoth Singh has previously called on Azam Baki to recuse himself from investigations after it was revealed that the MACC chief was aware of an alleged plot involving businessman Albert Tei, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, and his aide Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is demanding to question the lawyer for Albert Tei, in an unusual move just two days after masked and armed officers stormed his client's home following shocking revelations that named the agency's chief commissioner as complicit in an explosive graft and conspiracy scandal involving the Prime Minister's Office.
Last night, Mahajoth Singh was served a notice ordering him to appear at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya at 10am today for questioning, a move slammed by vocal rights group Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) as unlawful.
"If lawyers can be summoned, questioned, and denied access to their own clients without clear justification, then the fundamental protections afforded to every Malaysian are placed in jeopardy," said LFL director Zaid Malek.
LFL said MACC should immediately withdraw the notice to Mahajoth and demanded an explanation from Azam "for this unlawful attempt to question and intimidate legal counsel for Albert Tei".
It is understood that Mahajoth has refused to comply with the request.
Zaid, who on Friday rushed to Tei's home just as about a dozen balaclava-clad and armed MACC officers broke in and handcuffed the businessman in the presence of his wife and children, said Mahajoth cannot comply with the notice.
"If he does so, he will breach lawyer-client privilege. Therefore, he cannot attend the questioning," Zaid told MalaysiaNow.
In a statement, Zaid said the demand to question Tei's lawyer points to a "lurch towards lawlessness by MACC".
"Taken together, these actions constitute clear pressure, intimidation and interference against a lawyer representing his client in a criminal matter.
"A lawyer must be able to advise and represent his client freely and without fear of obstruction or intimidation," he said, adding that summoning Mahajoth was a breach of confidential communications as stipulated in the MACC Act 2009 and the Evidence Act.
Zaid Malek.
Zaid reminded MACC that its mandate is to investigate corruption.
"It is not to interrogate counsel about matters that fall squarely within the ambit of legal privilege. Such conduct compromises the integrity of the investigative process and violates the core principles of solicitor–client confidentiality, a protection fundamental to the administration of justice.
"No enforcement agency has the authority to compel, or even attempt to compel, lawyers to disclose matters they are legally and ethically barred from revealing."
On Nov 25, Tei – the man behind explosive videos implicating Sabah Chief Minister and GRS chairman Hajiji Noor and 14 ruling politicians in corrupt practices – revealed that he had spent almost RM630,000 on Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's political secretary Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin in the hope that the latter would help him negotiate with Hajiji to recover the money he paid to several GRS politicians. Shamsul resigned on the same day.
Tei showed proof that he paid for renovations, luxury gifts, tailored suits, appliances, furnishings for two properties, as well as cash totalling about RM350,000 for Shamsul.
Revelations by businessman Albert Tei (left) have implicated Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's office in one of the most explosive corruption scandals in recent times.
He also released secretly recorded video of a conversation with a woman identified as Shamsul's proxy, who has since identified herself as Sofia Rini Buyong.
Apart from admitting that Tei showered cash and gifts to Shamsul, Sofia also made a startling claim that it was Shamsul and Anwar's idea that Tei secretly record his conversations with various Sabah politicians, and that Azam was also well aware of the plan, adding that he had been briefed about it by Shamsul.
Azam has not responded to the claim.
The following were plucked from WhatsApp:
HIS SAFETY
I woke up to a most worrying post of Albert Tei’s arrest today and I genuinely fear for his safety.
We have seen how individuals can simply vanish under the watch of our own enforcement agencies, and the same authorities later claim they are unable to locate them.
Think of Pastor Raymond Koh.
We have also witnessed how a man in custody can end up dead, only for investigators to offer explanations that defy logic and insult public intelligence.
Think of Teoh Beng Hock.
So no, I would not be shocked if Albert Tei becomes yet another victim of enforced disappearance or custodial “mishap.” Our history has taught us to be wary, to question, and to fear the worst when transparency fades and accountability disappears.
But I sincerely hope I am wrong this time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PMX’s claim that “Shamsul’s resignation shows the government upholds integrity” is nothing short of ludicrous. ☝️ If this administration truly upheld integrity, the entire Shamsul fiasco would never have been allowed to happen in the first place.
Don’t twist and spin the narrative, Anwar. This episode didn’t showcase integrity - it exposed negligence, weak oversight, and a tolerance for misconduct until public pressure made it impossible to ignore.
This time, the blowback landed squarely on your face, Mr PMX. And no amount of clever wording can soften the embarrassment or erase the questions Malaysians are now asking about the standards you claim to champion.
And, what about this? All forgotten?

Where’s Pamela Ling?
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7, 2025: Where’s Pamela Ling after she was abducted by men and a woman in police outfits on April 7?
After more than three months, she is still missing ad the police remain mum on the case.
So, is she still alive?
The question is best answered by the families of victims who were similarly abducted in police-commando-style operations.
That also includes the dead Mongolian French translator Altantuya Shaarriibuu and former aide to a Selangor DAP state executive councillor Teoh Beng Hock who was found dead in the Shah Alam Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) building on July 16, 2009 while in custody.
Outcome of the cases? No closure whatsoever … possibly forever.
And Ling’s abduction will possibly face the same course of injustice ala Malaysia and its governments (elected every five years).
Go ask the families of all the above victims and ask where they are or for closure.

Malaysia Dark Side : Broad Daylight Kidnapping of Tycoon’s Wife – Where Is Pamela Ling?
6 August, 2025
Pamela Ling had a lot on her mind as she headed down the highway connecting Kuala Lumpur with Malaysia’s administrative capital some 30 minutes away.
The 42-year-old was en route to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, known as the MACC, where investigators wanted to question her for at least the 10th time in a money-laundering probe. Two days earlier, on April 7, she had filed a lawsuit against the agency, accusing it of colluding with her estranged husband – a tycoon involved in everything from healthcare in Singapore to timber in Papua New Guinea – to pressure her into settling a messy divorce.
Sitting in the back seat, Ling checked the Grab ride-hailing app on her phone. She typed out a note to one of her lawyers on WhatsApp, saying she was about 10 minutes away and would arrive at 2:08 p.m.
Suddenly, three cars surrounded the vehicle and forced it to stop. Two men and a woman in what appeared to be police gear jumped out, told Ling to exit the vehicle and bundled her into one of their cars. They ordered the Grab driver to hand over his ID card, and then sped away.
The brazen kidnapping in broad daylight on one of Malaysia’s busiest roads – recounted here from court filings, press statements and local media reports citing a witness – left the nation stunned. It was the talk of the town for weeks after it happened, with details of the case dissected on evening news shows, social media threads and in conversations around Kuala Lumpur.
More than three months later, the most important questions remain unanswered. Ling still hasn’t turned up, her kidnappers have made no ransom demands and police haven’t announced a suspect or progress in the investigation. Her family, meanwhile, is growing increasingly frustrated with the MACC.
They want to know why the anti-graft agency suddenly moved up her appearance to April 9, the day she was kidnapped, after it was originally scheduled for the following day. In addition, it “doesn’t make any sense” that the MACC didn’t seek a warrant for her arrest after she went missing, according to Sangeet Kaur Deo, a lawyer representing Ling’s family.
“You have hunted her, you have watched her every step, you have refused to let her leave this country on the pretext of investigation – the day she disappears you go silent,” Sangeet said. “The change in the behavior of the MACC, going from hunting her to not caring whether she is around, also needs to be explained.”
MACC officials have refused to answer some of the police’s questions around Ling’s case, hampering the investigation and the ability of law enforcement to generate leads, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.
The MACC reports directly to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and is regarded as one of Malaysia’s most powerful enforcement agencies, with a broad remit to investigate both public officials and private individuals. Its officers are able to conduct arrests and freeze assets without needing to go through the police, which are overseen by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
An MACC spokesman didn’t respond to requests for comment. “At every stage, the MACC has acted within the legal framework, including obtaining all necessary court orders and adhering to the established procedures,” the agency said in a statement on May 7. “Allegations of harassment or misconduct are unfounded.”
While Malaysia ranks higher than most other Southeast Asian countries in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index and has received plaudits for fostering a good investment climate, it also has a history of sensational disappearances.
As the news of Ling’s abduction broke and #PamelaLing trended on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, many social media users criticized the MACC for not providing adequate protection to her as a witness in their investigations. Others pointed to enforced disappearances of human-rights activists and highlighted the case of Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu, who was taken to a forest outside the capital, shot twice in the head and blown up with military-grade explosives.
Two secret-service policemen, part of a bodyguard detail to then-defense minister Najib Razak and other senior Malaysian leaders, were convicted of Altantuya’s murder. They both have said they were following orders. Najib, currently in prison over charges related to the multibillion dollar 1MDB fraud during his time as prime minister, has denied any involvement.
Ling’s disappearance has increased scrutiny of the MACC, whose chief — Azam Baki — has seen his term repeatedly extended by Anwar in a break from past precedent. Azam has dismissed criticism over his contract extensions and said he’s accustomed to public disapproval, while Anwar has called the MACC chief brave in taking on powerful interests.
To critics, Ling’s case underscores the need to check the agency’s power.
“Serious questions about the role MACC played need independent investigation, as the case calls into question the organization,” said Bridget Welsh, honorary research associate with the University of Nottingham Asia Research Institute Malaysia. “Authorities need to find out the truth.”
When asked for comment, a representative of the Prime Minister’s Office referred Bloomberg News to the Ministry of Home Affairs. A spokesperson for that ministry referred Bloomberg to the police. Representatives for the police didn’t comment when presented with written questions.
Safety Concerns
Ling expressed concerns about her safety in a legal filing well before her disappearance. The saga began in August 2023, when she started divorce proceedings in Singapore against her husband, Thomas Hah.
Ling and Hah, both born in Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo, married in 2001. She was 18 and he was 32. Today their personal assets stretch from the British Virgin Islands to Switzerland and Australia, including real estate, trusts and corporate shareholdings, according to court records. They own roughly 20 properties in Singapore alone, worth about $70 million.
A big part of the shareholdings consists of Joinland Group, a company Hah founded around 1990 as a distributor of cold storage products and later expanded into areas like logging, plantations and real estate. Some of these ventures also involve Ling’s father and brother.
The full extent of Hah’s business engagements can’t be discerned, but corporate filings provide some clues.
Companies in Papua New Guinea co-owned by Hah and Ling’s father exported more than $150 million worth of timber since 2012, government records show. The men also hold minority stakes in another firm there that exported about as much timber in the same period. Several of Joinland’s Malaysian subsidiaries, while recording little or no revenue in recent years, have received around $40 million from an entity in the British Virgin Islands, according to corporate filings. Ling’s father and brother are shareholders in at least three Joinland subsidiaries.
Ling’s divorce filing put all those assets at stake. At the time, she lived with the couple’s three children in a luxury riverside condo in neighboring Singapore. As the two clashed, she accused Hah of forging her signature to illegally transfer some of her shares in a property company to him. Hah hasn’t publicly addressed the forgery allegation but has said in a filing for a separate civil case that he’s the owner of all shares in the company. He started a competing divorce suit in Malaysia, alleging she cheated on him.
According to Ling’s divorce affidavits, Hah was serially unfaithful and abusive, and threatened to “make the rest of her life miserable” if she ever left him. He said he had “connections to organized crime and gang leaders in Malaysia, as well as people in powerful positions,” one of the filings said.
In response to a request for an interview with Hah, his lawyer, Selva Mookiah, said his client wouldn’t be issuing any statement or making any comment at this point, because the matter is currently under active investigation. He added that Hah has extended full cooperation to the authorities and remains committed to doing so. Mookiah didn’t respond later to a detailed list of questions on the divorce proceedings and Hah’s dealings with the MACC.
Arrest Warrant
The MACC got involved in May 2024, when it opened a case against the couple for unspecified offenses related to corruption and money laundering. After Ling failed to appear for questioning, a Malaysian court in December issued a warrant for her arrest. Singaporean authorities picked her up the following month and sent her back to Malaysia.
Ling was handcuffed and eventually taken to MACC headquarters, where she was detained for three days and told she “might be charged” with money laundering, according to an affidavit by Ling. Then she was released, but was restricted from leaving Malaysia.
Separated from her children, Ling started living in hotels in Malaysia. She said in the affidavit that MACC agents frequently called her to headquarters for questioning.
Just before she was kidnapped, Ling had decided to fight the agency. On April 7, she filed a request for a judicial review into MACC’s actions in her case, including the legality of her arrest warrant and travel ban.
In her affidavit in support of her request for the judicial review, Ling alleged Hah was using the anti-graft agency to “seek to pressure me into resolving matters, including my complaint that Hah had forged my signature.” She recounted how Hah was present at the MACC for one of her interrogations, and she said Muslimin Chia Abdullah, an official at the agency, urged them to settle matters so the case could be dropped. Hah’s lawyer didn’t comment when asked about this.
Responding to the claims in early July, Muslimin denied in an affidavit that the MACC investigations were designed to push her into a settlement with Hah. Muslimin said that Ling was a flight risk and MACC investigators believed she was in the process of obtaining a second passport from another country. Ling was summoned to the MACC a day earlier on April 9 to take a new statement on her application for a second passport, he said in the affidavit seen by Bloomberg News. Malik Imtiaz Sarwar Advocates & Solicitors, a legal firm representing Ling in her judicial review, said it didn’t have instructions to comment on this.
Malaysian police briefly questioned Hah about Ling’s disappearance before releasing him when the court rejected their application to remand him, according to local media reports.
‘Patently False’
Meanwhile, comments from law enforcement on the case have prompted rebukes from her family. Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohd Isa said on May 8 that Ling is probably still alive, without providing evidence. He also said it was possible that Ling staged the abduction herself. It’s unclear if police sought Thailand’s help after one of the cars used in the abduction was found abandoned near the border.
The MACC has sought to distance itself from the kidnapping, saying it was a matter for the police and beyond their control because it happened on a public road. It also said it was cooperating with the investigation.
When Azam, the MACC chief, addressed the abduction in May at a news conference, he said Ling was never a suspect in the money-laundering investigation but was cooperating as a witness. “We never called her with the intent to arrest her,” he said, according to local media reports.
Sangeet, the lawyer for Ling’s family, said Azam’s statement was “patently false” because the MACC arrested Ling and had her extradited to Malaysia. “For the chief commissioner to deny a matter already in the public record was alarming,” she said in a statement on May 26. “It suggests not only indifference but an absence of fear of accountability.”
The Ling family has had one small victory after her disappearance. On May 19, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that her judicial review into the MACC could proceed.
Still, Sangeet warned that Ling’s case shows that “Malaysia is unsafe” and people in the country can’t depend on protection from authorities.
“You cannot go to our agencies, specifically our law enforcement agencies, because either they are completely incompetent or they just will not investigate,” Sangeet said. “It could be any one of us. It could be anyone coming into the country.”

Malaysian police, MACC are cover-up specialists?
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1, 2025: With a history of “cover-ups” for killers and abductors, the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission are looking like cover-up specialists for killers and abductors/kidnappers.
TWO police commandos were convicted for the execution of Mongolian French translator Altantuya Shaariibuu on Oct 18, 2006 (19 years ago). Till today, the police and the Malaysian governments (elected every five years) do not want to find out who gave the orders to kill Altantuya and blow her body up with military-grade C4 explosives in an attempt to hide the evidence, including suspicions that Altantuya was pregnant;

RELIGIOUS individuals who have gone missing after they were picked up by police in commando-style operations;

MALAYSIAN police and Interpol do not look like they have priority or urgency to look for and arrest financial thief Jho Low; a “right hand” for disgraced and shameless former prime minister and jailbird Najib “1MDB” Razak who stole illions, if not billions, of Ringgit from the rakyat dan negara (people and country); and
TEOH Beng Hock, a Selangor DAP state executive councillor’s aide, was found dead in the MACC office in Shah Alam while in MACC’s custody on July 16, 2009 (16 years ago). Amazingly, no one in MACC knows what happened to him!; and

THREE months ago (April 9, 2025), businesswoman Pamela Ling was abducted by men and a woman in police uniform and the police and MACC still do not know what happened to her despite having video clips of the abduction along the MEX Highway.
The above are only four high profile cases that had tarnished the image of the police and MACC for their lackadaisical probe to bring justice to the victims.

3 months after Pamela Ling vanished, Bloomberg report casts disturbing questions on Azam-led MACC
Chief among them is that despite calling her a 'flight risk', MACC did not pursue her when she failed to turn up on April 9.
July 31, 2025 1:48 PM4 minute read
MACC chief Azam Baki has come under renewed scrutiny over his handling of the disappearance of Pamela Ling.
A news report by Bloomberg on the abduction of a witness extradited from abroad by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) raises questions about the fact that the anti-graft commission did not seek an arrest warrant even after she failed to turn up for questioning on the fateful day.
The report also touched on the question of why Pamela Ling's appointment with MACC scheduled on April 10 was brought forward to April 9, when her e-hailing vehicle was surrounded by a group of individuals in police gear just 10 minutes before her arrival at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
Family members say it "doesn’t make any sense" that MACC did not seek a warrant for Ling's arrest after she went missing, especially when she had been arrested before and slapped with a travel ban.
"You have hunted her, you have watched her every step, you have refused to let her leave this country on the pretext of investigation – the day she disappears you go silent," her family's lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo told Bloomberg.
"The change in the behaviour of the MACC, going from hunting her to not caring whether she is around, also needs to be explained."
According to Bloomberg, MACC claimed Ling had been asked to come a day early in order for it to investigate her application for a second passport.
The report comes at a time when MACC under its chief commissioner Azam Baki has come under fire for launching a series of politically-charged investigations into enemies of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, which was the subject of an explosive report by Bloomberg last year.
Ling, 42, is the former wife of Sarawak tycoon Hah Tiing Siu. Both have been through a controversial divorce in Singapore and Malaysia involving a substantial fortune.
MACC said it had launched an investigation into graft and money laundering offences involving the couple, adding that Ling had not co-operated. However, in a lawsuit filed two days before her abduction, Ling claimed that MACC was using anti-money laundering law to pressure her to resolve her disputes with her ex-husband.
Among others, she stated that Hah was present during one session she was interrogated by MACC. She also named one Muslimin Chia Abdullah from MACC who "urged them to settle matters so the case could be dropped", said the Bloomberg report.
