    Episode 18: From public trust to private pockets: The Price of Corruption

    From public trust to private pockets — corruption doesn't just steal money. It steals accountability, erodes trust, and quietly dismantles the systems that are supposed to protect urs. Is it weak institutions? Or has corruption become so embedded it's now part of the political culture itself? When citizens stop trusting the state, who fills that void — populist leaders, strongman politics, or non-state actors? And if bodies like the KPK or the Ombudsman exist, why do the scandals keep coming? These are the questions we're sitting with — and unpacking — in this episode. Watch the full episode! We're uncovering ASEAN, one conversation at a time.
