Tracking Political Appointments - Who Holds The Power?

The Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) has launched a platform, Pantau Kuasa, designed to monitor political appointments in federal statutory bodies and government-linked companies (GLCs). First, we find out more about the project. Then, we talk about GLCs and the part they play in our politics. Finally, we explore how much we spend on GLCs, particularly salaries.
