Parti Socialis Malaysia’s Dr. Michael Jeyakumar - Why Politicians Become Corrupt
Description
We’ve all heard politicians talk about helping people, but what happens when someone actually means it?
Dr. Michael Jeyakumar isn’t your typical politician. He’s not slick, not hungry for power, and definitely not here to sell you a dream. In fact, he stepped away from the noise because he couldn’t stand how broken the system is.. and how comfortable we’ve all become living in it.
In this episode, we talk about the messiness of politics in Malaysia. The lies we tell ourselves about progress. The strange obsession our leaders have with looking rich while the country crumbles quietly in the background.
But it’s not all doom. We also talk about hope; real, gritty, imperfect hope. The kind that lives in ordinary people doing quiet things. This one’s not for people who love the status quo. It’s for the ones who know something’s off, and are ready to think about what comes next.
