The discussion on lenient sentencing explores its impact on public trust and the effectiveness of law enforcement in combating corruption. Meanwhile, the article on indigenous traditional knowledge underscores the importance of legal protection for cultural heritage as part of efforts to safeguard the identity and rights of indigenous communities. Both topics highlight the urgency of legal reform to achieve more substantive and inclusive justice.
