Consider This: Prosecutorial Accountability Watch — Anatomy of a Corruption Case

The civil society group Projek SAMA has launched an AI-powered database tracking prosecutions involving current and former politicians, from 1MDB-linked cases to other major graft trials. The Prosecutorial Accountability Watch offers the public a clearer view of the status and outcomes of these cases. Its launch is also significant as the government prepares to table its revised bill on separating the Public Prosecutor’s role from the Attorney-General’s Chambers at the next Dewan Rakyat sitting. On this episode of #ConsiderThis, Melisa Idris speaks with lawyer Ngeow Chow Ying, Convener of Projek SAMA, and Professor Wong Chin Huat, Deputy Head of Strategy at UN SDSN Asia, Sunway University and member of Projek SAMA.
