The Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) will be organising a public forum to discuss the current challenges of tackling corruption in Malaysia on 18 November 2016 in Thistle Hotel Johor Bahru.
Current events and developments surrounding alleged corruption cases from 1MDB to the Football Association of Malaysia, have resulted in increased public concern and demand for greater accountability and transparency to ensure that criminal justice is enforced fairly and impartially.
After all that has happened, are we still in denial regarding how embedded corruption is in Malaysian society? Do we have the courage to point out what is corrupt and what changes are needed to be done? Can we make those changes happen?
This public forum is part of the ongoing #NyahKorupsi campaign which is intended to strengthen ongoing advocacy efforts for institutional reform to combat corruption and promote good governance.
