Political appointments to government-linked bodies have long been associated with patronage politics in Malaysia.
Who should sit on the boards of Malaysia’s public institutions and how should they be chosen? Ideas’ latest report, Who Sits at the Table? From Political to Public Appointees in Malaysia’s Federal Statutory Bodies, examines 135 federal statutory bodies under its Pantau Kuasa (monitoring power) initiative.
Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris talks to Aira Azhari, the CEO of Ideas Malaysia, and Pushpan Murugiah, the CEO of the Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4 Center).
