Albert Tei Questions AGC Decision After Complaint Against Former MACC Chief Classified NFA
PETALING JAYA: Businessman Albert Tei has criticised a decision by Malaysia’s Attorney General’s Chambers to classify his complaint against former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Azam Baki as requiring no further action (NFA), arguing that the outcome raises questions about equal treatment under the law.
In a statement, Albert claimed the decision could create a perception that certain cases, particularly those involving prominent individuals, are handled differently from others.
The businessman had previously lodged police reports concerning an incident linked to a raid conducted at his residence in November last year.
According to his allegations, several MACC officers pointed firearms at him and members of his family during the operation.
Albert further claimed that CCTV footage from the property could support his account of events, but the recording equipment was seized during the raid and has not been returned.
He said he was informed by investigators that the police probe had been completed and the investigation papers were forwarded to the Attorney General’s Chambers for review.
However, he alleged that he and his family waited several months without receiving any official update regarding the outcome of the case.
The eventual decision to classify the matter as NFA prompted him to question whether all complaints receive the same level of consideration regardless of the individuals involved.
Albert argued that public confidence in legal and enforcement institutions could be affected if there is a perception of unequal treatment in the justice system.
He called on the relevant authorities to provide greater transparency regarding the status of the complaint and the reasoning behind the decision.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General’s Chambers confirmed that it had reviewed the investigation papers submitted by the police in relation to the complaint.
The case involved allegations of criminal intimidation under Section 506 of the Penal Code.
According to AGC, a comprehensive assessment of the evidence and findings concluded that the elements required to establish the offence could not be sufficiently proven.
As a result, the investigation paper was classified as NFA, meaning no further action would be taken.
At the time of reporting, no additional statement had been issued by the MACC regarding the allegations raised by Albert.
The matter has continued to attract attention due to its connection with a former senior anti-corruption official and broader discussions surrounding transparency, accountability and public confidence in the justice system.
