Hundreds of Malaysians rally in Kuala Lumpur, demanding the country's powerful anti-graft chief resign over a stock trading controversy
Hundreds of Malaysians have rallied in the capital, demanding the country's powerful anti-graft chief resign over a stock trading controversy where he owned millions of shares.
"We have come because we cannot allow the practice of corruption to continue," Mohamad Zawawi Ishak, 29, said as a crowd massed in front of a city train station at about 0800 GMT . Azam has denied any wrongdoing, while Malaysia's securities regulator said this week that he had control of his account at the time of the trades, clearing him.
But public anger over corruption has previously led to mass demonstrations and election upsets, with the multi-billion-dollar 1MDB scandal contributing to the longest-governing coalition's downfall in 2018.
