A group of 21 opposition MPs today issued a statement calling Putrajaya to stop all "harassments" on whistleblowers and those who speak out against the scandal implicating MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki.

This comes after Azam filed a defamation suit against journalist Lalitha Kunaratnam, who had written about the former’s share ownership in two publicly listed companies.
