Malaysia’s recent history has been marked by massive corruption scandals that shook public trust in institutions. In response, a new generation of activists is demanding transparency and accountability.

Digital Watchdogs

Ahmad Razak was a university student when he first became involved in anti-corruption activism. Frustrated by the lack of accessible information about government spending, he helped create a platform that tracks public contracts and flags suspicious patterns.

“Corruption thrives in darkness,” Ahmad explains. “Our job is to shine a light.”

From Keyboards to Streets

The movement has evolved beyond digital activism. Young Malaysians have organized mass protests, voter education campaigns, and community forums that have shifted public discourse around corruption.

AktivAsia’s training in digital security and campaign strategy has been crucial for activists working in politically sensitive spaces. The fight for transparency continues, with each victory building momentum for the next.
