Malaysia's king to pick anti-graft chief

Malaysia's King Sultan Ibrahim declared on Thursday that he will personally choose the next chief of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The announcement comes as the current MACC chief faces mounting pressure to resign over allegations of misconduct. The king's intervention highlights the political significance of the anti-graft agency amid ongoing corruption concerns in Malaysia. The selection process is expected to proceed in the coming weeks as the current chief's position becomes increasingly untenable.
