Consider This: Deferred Prosecution Agreements — Reform or Risk?

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission wants to introduce a Deferred Prosecution Agreement mechanism (DPA) which it claims could prevent complex, high-profile corruption cases from being dragged out in court for years, at significant cost to taxpayers.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with lawyer Ngeow Chow Ying, Convener of Projek SAMA, and Pushpan Murugiah, CEO of The Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4 Center).
