Can Anwar Stamp Out 'Systemic' Corruption In Malaysia? | Insight | Full Episode
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- Malaysian Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim has launched a new anti-corruption effort, outlined in the National Anti-Corruption Strategies (NACS) 2024 - 2028.
In his effort to crack down on graft, he has gone after influential business and political figures, including former Finance Minister, Daim Zainuddin. The key ally of former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad faces two charges for failing to comply with a notice to declare his assets. Two of Mahathir’ sons, Mirzan and Mokhzani Mahathir, are also under investigation.
But Anwar’s critics say his corruption busting campaign is politically motivated, pointing to the dismissal of charges against his own ally in the government, UMNO President, Zahid Hamidi. What is behind the corruption crackdown in Malaysia? Will it remove the stain that was left by the 1MDB Scandal?

removing corruption from Malaysia is like splitting atom.
it takes tremendous power & control environment for safety at same time. it is bitter medication for next few years for all Malaysian now before getting better.
Perfect analogy 👍
Need CERN The Large Hadron Collider..... 🤣😂
society too divided and unharmony…..so no politician dare to do it…..end up all politician become corrupt to amass wealth for themself….
even DAP now in current go already did many corruption already
Even an atom can be split.
LOL MAHATHIR TALKING ABOUT HARRAASING OPPOSITION 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂..joke of the yrs
Ditto
tun makmak still using his suppression policies on corruption reports as his mindset......
Send oldscum n gang to jail sooner. Recover d money to pay for d debts.
I love how you can't actually refute Mahathir's point about Anwar's corrupt use of the anti-corruption apparatus to pursue political detractors.
It just proves his point.
Corruption really can destroy a country and it's citizens. Doesn't matter what race or religion u r, Greed for personal gain is the roots of all evil
The clear answer is no. Najib been granted pardon and early release from prison. Malaysia is clearly sending a signal to all politician to be bold and take part in corruption. You will be pardon.
Agreed those malaysians politicians must dip their hands to steal state's money because they knew they will be free as most procutors are same leopards.
The way I see it Najib has a lot of influence. Balancing the fight against corruption and reviving the economy while maintaining social harmony is tough, but efforts are being made. He's not fully pardoned and it was his jail term was reduced from 12 to 6 years and his fine from RM210 million to RM50 million. He still faces ongoing court cases, which could extend his time. He’s currently 71.
His deputy got 47 charges and Azam Baki shockingly is still head of macc.
Yes true. But question is...don't vote PH & giv "walkover win" to PAS/PN ??????
@@Veloce2000 so you would rather vote for the ‘prima facie proven corrupted deputy’?
Learn more abt politics.. It's nobel of u to stick to ur principle.. But without power.. That would be useless.. Power comes first.. Then rests would be possible..
As if, we have a choice?
Zahid is still better than a communist party(PAS) with no freedom.
Azam Baki knows which side of the bread to butter
Anwar surrounds himself with thieves too. His deputy has 47 cases.
Corruptions, collusions, nepotisms are rampant in Malaysia from the top down. All anyone cares are their own pockets and not the country.
I doubt it even he has 10 more years to eradicate or to deal with Corruptions. He can't even handle his own DPM case.
Mr R Ndeswaran should note that even in this comment section, just talking about the prevalence of corruption in Malaysia is frowned upon. It is quickly deleted and the writer warned of causing discomfort to the community. One wonders why then even have this documentary made???! The problem is not catching the corrupted people in Malaysia it is housing them. They will need prison facilities that can house up to 20 million people.
@@clementihammock7572 may be you are right 😀
I agree hundred percent he dare not touch his DPM 47 Cases dismissed just like that he wants to eradicate corruption and in Malaysia so far only Najib have been convicted the rest so far nothing have happened.
Kau faham tak DNAA?
You surely are naive to the actual Malaysian politics. No lad, his DPM SAVED MALAYSIA!!!
You take corruption and cases on face value but blind to whatever is happening.
It is a necessary sacrifice which is what we say ... "sacrifice a few trees so we can save the entire forest."
His dpm actions actually enable PMx to execute into far far bigger corruptions and most important stop future corruptions where Malaysia's debt had ballooned to 1.5 trillions.
So be thank ful to the DPM .... I am thankful to him for what he did.
His TPM Zahid Comedy got 47 Corruption Case.
With prima facie..but yet aquitted.. So called cleanup?
Innocent until proven guilty - Tan Sri Tuan Guru Hadi Awang
That make up lol by mahathir

PMX has done a great job to battle corruption. TPM case is NDAA meaning it is just postpone as PH need UMNO to stay in power. That is the reality of our current politic. Fighting corruption and mantaining power is essential unless you want Bersatu and Pas to rule this country because government is not determine by people but party unless we follow presidential system.
Brother just gave immunity to his deputy prime minister from 47 corruption charges
To be fair, that was not up to him.
@@rahimmajid647 yes its up to the AG, you are so smart
And of course anwar will deny it but in reality he had the power to change the deputy public prosecutor@@ptw8266

Don't forget all the BN component parties, and god knows who else who got "titles" ... the rot cuts across the social strata, not a race issue. We went all in with rent seeking and patronage political economy.
Rent seeking is the culture of acertain type of people in malaysia
Ask SARAVANAN too..
It's really disheartening to see when leaders with questionable records remain in power despite promises of change. But let's not pretend, it's Anwar's choice that we have a coalition government with BN which consists of corrupted and kleptocratic leaders. The reality is coalition governments or compromises may lead to alliances that seem contradictory or unsatisfactory to certain voters.
Only in Malaysia, people would still vote for leaders that have incompetent track record, riddled with corruption cases and only pander to race/ religion rhetoric all day long. After all, this is democracy. The power is always in our hands, and like it or not, we are responsible in causing this situation where we have corrupted leaders remaining on top forever.
Hopeless situation.
The tragedy is that mega wealthy business tycoons who have amassed incredible amounts of money and assets due to political connections, are still pursuing even more wealth at the expense of the vast majority of businesses. Greed has no limits. 🤬
Still got umnok in government..... Not easy
Kudos sir for exposing the scoundrals.Keep up the good struggle. U are a true patriot.
The worst is the land transfer ministry officer wanting a cut for every piece of property transaction. Even council officer , police all waiting and ask for bribe.
He needs to deal with his deputy Zahid Hamidi first until he does nobody is going to trust him anymore
Zahid given DNAA, what fighting corruption. AI, you go.
Whose better candidate than AI
U are politically stupid.
@@freddie792asalkan bukan bekas banduan dn tak beri jawatan pada orang yang ade kes👍🏻
Hannah Yeoh who is a PH MInister in Malaysia but still the govt appoint huge business contracts to her husband.. this is NOT right
Corruption is still very prevalent, especially under the transport ministry, if you have been to Puspakom to do vehicle inspection, they will ask you to go into the room with the director and he will ask how much you willing to pay for the inspection, another time experience it was when a police setup a road block and claim I have violated the traffic rules and told me he can "help me", of course I rejected both of it, so I did my inspection twice and got the saman.
No point reporting these types of corruption, the police station will not take the report and even if you did make the report the police will threaten you that "if they found it to be "un-true", they will punish those who smear the polis", but at the end they will still do nothing to investigate it.
What’s the point of going after small fries? Big ones are never convicted after playing the court room dramas. Taxpayers could only watch in awe…😮 Tell the kids, enter politics, make lots of money by corruption, everything will be ok.?
Just don't be too greedy...say 5-10 mils instead of billions.
LOL.
So far, no BIG fishes have been convicted and sent to Sg Buloh or Kajang.
No difference from Midin Government 😂😂😂
That how democracy and capitalisme work at its best.the rule of law of the rich and powerful.the law favor only these people. Maximum immunity.
Exactly
@@ktng3176 why? Daim, mirzan and mokhsani and mahathir are not big fish ah? U so clever, why don't u do the investigation and provide the proof within 2 months?
M sian have tolerated corruption
He is all talk and he is encouraging it. When he went shaking umno boys' hands when the opposition won u already know he is useless. No need to blame anybody. Please don't point at the chinese , its u people who demand it otherwise nothing moves n we are stuck with interest to be paid n mouth to feed.
He is already all talk since hes in opposition,but some of the malaysians are too blind to see.Its really the end game there for anwar is to become Prime Minister and thats it.
As we can see here, Malay netizens are way more open to discussion than Indonesians. When CNA covers Indonesia, their netizens have this idiotic mindset demonizing foreign media for telling the truth. Props to Malay 🇲🇾
Typical of Malaysian. Very insecure & no confidence. Always have to put others down to make themselves looks good. Last time to Singaporean, now to Indonesian.
Singapore is also complicit with money laundering... 1MDB?
sure, we need more conversation so this cheap outlet got the 📈
no la, this is Engrish video, mostly dun understand to komen much
This battle is not easy but i fully support our PMX.
me too and i support wak too🤭

@@anakkebenaran82DNAA, do you understand?
@@OlafThon489dnaa because Ag.dont talk if you dont understand
Anwar is just a snakeoil conman politician. He always like to lie and spin everything he promised. In the end as PM,,he gives contracts and positions to his own cronies and families. so what bullshit is Madani smoking?
the situation will be different if Zahid can't give him politics support .......
When they say Malaysia Boleh, it means everything also can do 😂

Ask him about his deputy first. You can do better than that CNA.
TPM 47 case corruption hahahahaha funny , crony2 got govt project hahahhaha
U are politically stupid.
I hope Mahathir will write a book to guide the poor Malays on how to make their children billionaires. He had such a successful story in raising self made billionaires.
Please share your wisdom Tun 🙏

I hope u can educated ur son or ur daughter dont be stupid or dumb ass like you. 😂
I agree with you 💯

No time lah to write book…..he has too many investments to juggle !
The Difference in doing Business in India and China is in the Former the Authorities feel that they are doing you a Favour to make money SO ALL KINDS OF RED TAPE TO MAKE LIFE DIFFICULT and have to pay 'Agents' to get Approvals.Whereas in the LATTER the Authorities come to you to Facilitate the opening of the Business AS THEY FEEL YOU ARE GIVING EMPLOYMENT TO THEIR CITIZENS.This was commented by an Indian Businessman investing in China.The same can be said of Malaysia and Singapore.
By the time you wanted to start your anti corruption drive plan. You are already voted out. 😅
I’m proud of my Prime minister that he’s brave enough to bring up this subject when it’s ussually shunned. Just like how he was brave enough to stand by Palestine when everyone else was scared. It gives our people more confidence. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇲🇾
Nahhh rakyat tak bangga ade pemimpin bekas banduan.rakyat tak bangga dgn pemimpin 47 kes dnaa sbb Ag tak teruskn kes.Rakyat tak bangga dgn kapal lcs yg tak siap2.rakyat tak bangga dgn saham penting yg nak di jual pada syarikat yg pemegang saham terbesar yahoodi.

Kalau awak ada politician lain yg awak support awak boleh pergi channel dia & support dia bukannya burukkan orang lain.
everything is possible if he is determined to eradicate this organized corruption and malpractice.. he has the power and all the decisions on him..
Malaysia is still not as bad. If you go to Indonesia/Vietnam this is Rampant ! Of course, all should aim to be as good as Singapore.
If you want to achieve it, MOVE FASTER. No one will give you another 5 years
I need more time. He is dragging time. After this term thank you Malaysians.
How are Anuar going to eradicate corruption when Anuar"s Deputy Zahid Hamidi had 47 counts of corrupt practices and yet not prosecuted in court.
True, but it is a case now of big fish with little backroom support. If I were Zahid, I would be worried. He is serving a political purpose and this will go away if PH wins the next election and does not need UMNO in a coalition.
Anuar have no choise because he need umno mp you fools
@@genghiskhanthegreat2986these people will do the same thing if they are in Anwar position
@@genghiskhanthegreat2986you fools. So don’t talk big about eradicating corruption
Prosecuted but given DNA although prima facie case established.
One boy boy was heard suggesting to his father on how to rid Malaysia politicians of corruption. Boy boy whispered into his dad's ear, "why not we pay them millions so that their need to steal millions is no longer needed?"
Singapore model. Pay bureaucrats, ministers and public officials so well that there is no need for them to engage in corruption out of necessity. Out of greed, there is no limit.
@@rakadus China people calls this 高薪养廉。 But being politically correct, I won't say this is sarcasm. You know language right? It's ambiguous
Question is how sincere is the present government to mitigate and correct this corruption menace ? The brown envelope for vehicle inspection is still going strong !!!
Balancing the fight against corruption and reviving the economy while maintaining social harmony is tough.
*grabbing popcorn* with Agong’s corronation coming up, if nothing happens by the end of the 5 year term- i am running off grid 😂

8:49 and it was thanks to Sarawak Report and Tony Pua who doggedly pursued it at the cost of danger to their lives
Stopping corruption becoming systemic in Malaysia I think is a success already.
The case of minister Yeoh's husband involvement in Selangor government procurement, any investigation being carried out? What is the rectification being carried out?
Anwar cannot be done alone and he will not able to do so. Forget about it.
Y u so worred 😂😂
@@user-ft8cf7di7v what are you talking about ???what is worred ?
How can he fight corruption when his own deputy has a history of corrupt practices? He's just a hypocrite using the anti-corruption agenda to boost his political status.
3:19 curi curi Malaysia - what a nice play of words 😂
It's getting worst. Anwar protect curroption on the highest level
Anwar is facing an uphill battle to remove 60+ years of damage, despite some questionable decisions, he & his govt at least are doing some good for the country - they’re the best we have now (though can be much better)
The worst in history
@@Rentaka_Lela you’re forgetting the one PM that closed borders, forced everyone at home, failed policies that killed thousands of msians during a pandemic, caused a political crisis just to stay in power, and had a bloated cabinet to feed all his cronies
Watch the part by Mahathir, see if you flip off your chair like me.... ha ha ha...
it's been way too ingrained already. will take decades of sincere effort at all government levels to truly clean up. A noble goal but maybe only our grandchildren's generation can see it
As always. Only plan. No action. He's declining. Sorry America.
Corruption is similar like covid virus. Which is affected society and innocent individual as well.
Dia nak hapuskan semua pun tak boleh juga. Sebab TPM(DPM) dia pun banyak kes juga,kalau dia sumbat ke dalam penjara nanti kerusi jadi tak cukup pulak.
@@Sukacukur kalau dlm perang, musuh mengaku kalah dan sanggup berkerjasama dgn pihak sendiri dan mengikut seperti good citizen maka eloklah dilakukan seperti pesalah yg sanggup berkerja sama utk lumpuhkan musuh yg lebih besar.
There's disparity in how corruption cases are handled. The entire might of the police force is brought down to bear against those who received minuscule bribed, while those who embezzled billions are free to jet around the world.
Don't forget the magic number - 47
Don't forget the magic party - direct award party

Forbes reported good governance, Jpmorgan upgrade Malaysia rating…figures are improving.. WHAT ON EARTH he is not good? beside people with short sight, don’t understand what’s good removing the subsidy etc..too long this thing drag down the economy
Can be track even a lifetime especially corrupt money.
....just forget. Mahathir.!!! It is a waste of resources...
Only when too far then take considerations. Who to blame. Well said about corruptions
Good expose.
This is what Malaysia needs.
Reform and integrity.
This is what our country needs.
Praise be with Anwar Ibrahim.
He is an old politician and he is making our country great..not like his contemporaries when he was finance minister one time.
He is an old and experienced politician..
He can lead us.
Exactly ..if U are a Malaysian..the law applies to you as well.
Finally! Someone in this country is doing something for old and educated people like us.
Good job Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim
funny PMX, during GE, his party attacking the person who they accused to have been corrupted for many uears but now this person become his TPM.. What a real joker
Well-wishers can only hope that he can. He has to be bold enough to go head-to-head with those with a vested interest in corruption.
How about talk on our education system.
Ba wa wa
Hannah Yeoh who is a PH MInister in Malaysia but still the govt appoint huge business contracts to her husband.. this is NOT right
Why does not CNA do a story about former Minister S.Iswaran? Allowed to travel overseas to babysit his son to university....look at your own backyard first
It can never be done. If not, it’s not Malaysia anymore
Hi Singapore, put it in a wider perspective, this corruption is like stage-four cancer.
At this point it is better to have Malaysia run by ChatGPT.
Every Malaysian knows corruption can’t be wiped out in the country. Even killing a person, can just bribe everyone from the police to the judge if you have the money. In Malaysia everything boleh for the right price. If you think this is ridiculous, you are just native.
All always say investigation takes time by the End of Time the investigation will still be ongoing.Malaysia needs a Chinese or Indian Prime Minister
Bayak susa Baba...close one Eye to stay in power..😊😊😊😊😊
Before election : We will END corruption !
After election : *Quietly enjoys corruption*
HONOUR thy WORD !
There are agencies to handle these matters..
Corruption sudah sebati in our society. Bukan tak boleh diselesaikan. Just not that easy yet.
Throw all corrupcted ones into prison. It will shut down half of Malaysia.
We all cuti umum.
Corruption is prevalent in many parts of the World but in SEA sans Singapore, it is truly endemic.
Definitely no. Anwar only know how to talk, definitely don't know what to do 😂😂
Namawee's song is making sense now, isn't it?
One man against one society, what a challenge !!. Politics is a interesting field of maneuver of actions suitable to the current conditions. It is so versatile, interchangeable, does not have to stick to one philosophy, a win-win situation to please to both parties occasionally, sometime let him win then our turn, so fair. Maybe not be in line with reasonable reasoning. That is the uniqueness of politics.
Corruption is deep with Malaysians' DNA, I'm not only referring to politicians and government officials, but it is also within all levels of society. Corruption in Malaysia is inclusive of financial bribery, material bribery, racial and ethnic based employment standard in private and public sectors, all types of corruption that gave advantage to the person initiated it and those who are taking it. I don't how corruption can be curbed in this country or any ASEAN countries apart from Brunei and Singapore
If Singapore and Brunei can do it, why not Malaysia?
never under estimate the evil power of $, it can turn anyone from good to bad instantly. As long as there is shadow on this planet, corruption can happen anywhere anytime. For your infor, Singapore recently charges a minister for corruption. Who said Singapore does not have corruption! Complacency will hurt any country including Singapore, be mindful of this!
False allegations
Singapore and Brunei also have corruption. You don't have to except, apart, aside, besides, that two tiny countries. Cringe af!
if he is in his 20+, i have very stronge believe that he can do it but... in 70+.. the road is not long for him.
It ok..rather than nobody do it.
@@user-ft8cf7di7v it take years to do it correct. not just 5 to 10 year. without the same person like him, it will be half furk and back to Sq one
the fact that UMNO is still able to consolidate power is a huge backstep.
President Xi did it at 60s
In his 20s he did alot..of islamisation of the education system. Today u can see the great result :)
Everyone familiar with the country prior to Anwar is not surprised
Corruption can be caught and sue but if some country leader just write it in the law, it cannot be sue.. end game is getting more money, same! Question is which is worse.
Corruption in Indonesia is called Tuesday. Sick & tired of it.
Bring in investor and crack down corruption. Mr lee way
There is no disincentive...
I really do want all his word to be true, we shall see in the next few years.
Great content, could you do the Indonesian version as well?
I know it’s not easy, especially since Singapore is Indonesia’ largest investor, but it would be great to unveil the ‘performance’ of Indonesia government
And where is Jho Low?

Maintaining a LOH profile perhaps.Achi lot.Lang boh t lang Kooi for sure!
Without PMX and his team, Malaysia is a basket of gone case. Dr. Oo is a poor political analyst. His former analysis of this madani government was completely wrong.
Even charged, can be pardoned....
Corruption and bribe are culture, reduce to none will be impossible. Malaysia isn't that bad, worst in Phillipines yet to exposure.
Sum it up, you don't have to corrupt to be in corruption. Best example in the West, corruption through stock market insider info, paid with a corporate consultant tittle after their govt term due etc
Almost every corners on the globe, it depends on how worse the scale it presented to public eyes. 😅 Denmark, New Zealand, Swiss, Norway seems way better.
Politician’s talk is cheap ! Malaysia a BEAUTIFUL country degraded by racist policies & corruption
Impossible.
Too ingrained in the system.
If DSAI is sincere in eradicating corruption, a reorganization of all public service depts is best. Data & communication between depts must be available to cross-check each other & reduce administration costs. Gate-keepers must be truly clean. Once the cost of public administration is reduced, this cost can be channelled to deserving public servants.
He has gain a lot of respect from Malaysian
There are many others form of corruption still openly practiced freely and nobody can do anything about it.

Do one story on Spore politics lah, interview the opposition politician
This video is to further damage investor confidence in Malaysia and direct the money to sg. This is information warfare.
In my opinion, these current old leaders have to go away completely...and be replaced with new generations leaders who are currently in their 20's...
So when these young adults become leaders probably in the next 20 or 30 years, then probably a fresh new start will happen where leaders 'might' not favour bribery and 'hopefully' lead the nation accordingly by law and constitution.
