Harry Azhar Azis


Harry Azhar Azis was the member of the Audit Board of Indonesia and a former legislator in the People's Representative Council. During his tenure as a Representative, Azis was the chairman of the House Budget Committee, and in 2010 was also one of the first Indonesian legislators to suggest a bridge between Batam and Singapore as part of the Indonesia–Malaysia–Singapore Growth Triangle.
In April 2016, Azis was implicated in the Panama Papers due to a previously registered blank company which he hadn't reported. Azis claimed that the company was merely a registered name on paper which he had started for his oldest daughter, but then sold to someone else after his appointment as Board chairman in December 2014. In October that same year, the Ethics Council of the Audit Board sanctioned Azis via a written warning upon ruling that he violated the ethics code by failing to report the company.
