A satire version of Monopoly to reflecting the state of Malaysia's 1MDB Scandal
A democracy is “rule by the people”. A Kleptocracy is the terrible “rule by thieves”. What do these Kleptocrats do when in power? They steal the people’s money, that’s what!
C4 Center is proud to bring to you KLEPTOPOLY: THE BOARD GAME, designed to help you understand the ins and outs of asset declaration, money laundering and anti-corruption work. We engaged the talents of Hardknock Creatives to deliver a game experience that uses the Malaysian scenario to show you how terrible kleptocracy can be… and that citizens, we have a powerful role to play in checking the government!
Kleptopoly is inspired by the brazen thievery of Malaysian public monies in the 1MDB scandal and using the United States Department of Justice Civil Forfeiture suits. You pick 1 of the 4 characters "involved" in the 1MDB scandal, either as the Malaysian Official Number 1, the Shopping Mama, Mr Klepto or the Rich Arab Donor. Like Monopoly, the richest will win via stealing of property and wealth. But beware that your assets may be seized if found to be CORRUPT unless hidden away at the Cayman Islands!!!
