Malaysia’s cabinet has ordered an investigation into the allegations surrounding anti-graft chief Azam Baki, days after a report said he had shareholdings that were higher than allowed limits for public officials.

The cabinet has directed a special committee to look into the matter, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said at a press conference in Putrajaya on Friday.
