FAHRIE HASSAN & SHABNAM PALESA MOHAMMED – UNVEILING GLOBAL CORRUPTION – THE DEPTHS OF CORPORATE INFLUENCE & POLITICAL MANIPULATION

On the other hand, Fahrie Hassan, a molecular biologist, emphasises the loss of knowledge among ordinary people, leading to dependency on representatives who don’t truly represent their interests. He delves into philosophical aspects of democracy, questioning the notions of liberty, fraternity, and equality within democratic systems. He argues that true democracy should uplift the poorest and most marginalised members of society, which hasn’t been achieved in any country.

The discussion also addresses the rampant corruption among politicians, who prioritise personal gain over public welfare, draining the public purse for their benefit. The conversation highlights the lack of accountability and the failure to prosecute corrupt politicians, leading to a cycle of exploitation and inequality.

Overall, the participants advocate for systemic change, moving away from centralised power structures and towards more inclusive and transparent forms of governance that prioritise the needs of the people. They question whether meaningful change is possible within the current system and express skepticism about the prospects for improvement without addressing systemic corruption and inequality.
