Guest: Prof. Emeritus Professor Emeritus Edmund Terence Gomez, Professor of Political Economy, Universiti Malaya
Allegations of mismanagement at Felda, a Royal Commission of Inquiry into Tabung Haji, and the so-called corporate mafia scandal involving the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission have each resurfaced questions about how political power shapes Malaysia's public institutions.
We examine why entrenched practices such as off-budget subsidiaries, weak procurement oversight and the absence of a Political Financing Act persist, and what structural changes would actually be needed to break the link between politicians and the institutions they oversee.
To unpack this, we're speaking to Professor Emeritus Edmund Terence Gomez, Professor of Political Economy at Universiti Malaya and author of "Minister of Finance Incorporated: Ownership and Control of Corporate Malaysia."
