2. AMANAH Dinner: Tuesday 13 March, Fixing Malaysia’s Kleptocracy

Malaysia is increasingly becoming synonymous with #corruption, #kleptocracy, and theft of billions of ringgits of the rakyat’s money. The authorities are coming up with even more daring schemes to be perpetrated on a much larger scale, while the majority of the people are left in near desolation.
The recent UNICEF report on urban child poverty is a testament of this. Many Malaysian children are stunted due to malnutrition at a scale worse than countries like Zimbabwe and Swaziland. Despite denials from the government and disbelief from the middle class, the data speaks for itself.


3. AMANAH Dinner: Wednesday 14 March, Transforming Policy-Making in Malaysia’s Politics
https://www.facebook.com/events/272528019948308/
Policy-making in Malaysia is executive-heavy along the top-down approach. Despite some organisations holding sessions such as workshops and roundtable discussions – which are mainly reserved for financial services and industries’ elites – Malaysia’s policy-making is detached from the people they are supposed to serve.
This has caused many disruptions, ongoing corruption, the failure of PPSMI (teaching science and mathematics in English), environmental pollution, destruction of national heritage sites and monuments such as Lembah Bujang, destruction of forests and great floods, as well as mega kleptocracy involving billions of dollars.
Despite great claims of poverty eradication, Malaysian children living in some areas are so poor that many grow up stunted, on a scale worse than Zimbabwe and Swaziland.
How can we ensure that the people in the corridors of power make policies that serve the people, and not just themselves? How can we hold our leaders to account when they have failed to serve the people who elected them?
