The civil society group Projek Sama has launched an AI-powered database tracking prosecutions involving current and former politicians, from 1MDB-linked cases to other major graft trials.
The Prosecutorial Accountability Watch offers the public a clearer view of the status and outcomes of these cases. Its launch is also significant as the government prepares to table its revised bill on separating the public prosecutor’s role from the Attorney General’s Chambers at the next House of Representatives sitting.
Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks with lawyer Ngeow Chow Ying, the convener of Projek Sama, and Professor Wong Chin Huat, the deputy head of strategy at UN SDSN Asia, Sunway University and a member of Projek Sama.
Credits: Prosecutorial Accountability Watch was developed by Projek Sama with contributions from Kuek Ser Kuang Keng, Farah Izzah Haron, Ngeow Chow Ying, Jernell Tan, Wo Chang Xi, Thibi, Basil Foo and Rahmat Haron, with Malaysiakini as media partner.
