In 2015, early work network graph of 1MDB with Swee Meng Ng using Popit database from mySociety to discover linkages between 1MDB , directors and subsidiaries. On hindsight, with the focus on Najib Razak and Jho Low, more should have been looked into the extent of businesses and government linked companies (GLCs) around it. Various dubious investments in energy, infrastructure and property were made, including some to cover the then missing money as well as bailouts. It takes a large amount of collaborators to siphon billions of dollars. of public funds. These collaborators and businesses for the most part are now embedded and legitimized within the Malaysian economy. Their impunity along with lack of political financial transparency, has now come back to haunt Malaysia in what now looks like state capture. On the positive side, 1MDB has lead to a lot of research in being able to capture data on state capture better, along with developments of open data standards like Beneficial Ownership. Politikus is Sinar Project active research on this https://lnkd.in/gwGaxyuv This coupled with large amount of digital information and progress in tools for data analysis have resulted in increase ability for more sophisticated analysis and reporting at scale for anti-corruption. On the negative side, the space for anti-corruption efforts is already shrinking with the Sedition Act again being used to silenced critics, and the lack of reforms means a litany of repressive laws are still on the books. Time is ticking, but I believe there is a new generation willing and more than able to take on the fight for a better Malaysia. #anticorruption
