Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has urged officials to avoid immediately releasing a report on his anti-graft chief’s shareholdings to the public, people familiar with the matter said. Anwar’s cabinet in February ordered an investigation into whether the shareholdings of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Chief Commissioner Azam Baki breached legal limits. A three-person committee of senior civil servants led by the attorney-general reported its findings to the cabinet, and the matter has since been referred to the chief secretary to the government for next steps. The Malaysian leader has asked key people involved to hold off on making the report or its findings public until investigators complete a separate probe into allegations made in a Bloomberg report about businessmen who worked with the anti-graft agency to oust company executives, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Anwar’s concern is that making the shareholding report public would undermine perceptions of his government ahead of a possible general election that could come as early as this year, they said. The plan is to discuss the matter again in cabinet after the investigation into the so-called corporate mafia, a network of businessmen alleged to have worked with MACC officials to intimidate and oust company executives, is completed, the people said. The cabinet this month ordered Malaysian law enforcement agencies, including the MACC, to investigate the allegations of a so-called corporate mafia that worked with the anti-graft agency. It’s unclear how long that probe will take. Anwar is poised to let Azam step aside after his term ends on May 12, Bloomberg reported earlier this month. Azam has been campaigning to be made a senator after he leaves the job, three people familiar with the matter said. Senators are chosen by state assemblies or Malaysia’s king on the advice of the prime minister, and can serve a maximum of two three-year terms. Represe...
