Khashoggi Killing: Saudi's Screw-Up

The disappearance of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi earlier this month in Istanbul has rocked the international community and tarnished the progressive image of Saudi crown prince Muhammad bin Salman.

After initially denying any involvement in his disappearance, Saudi Arabia has now finally admitted that Khashoggi was murdered, saying that the act was a "tremendous mistake".

On the line with Dr. James Dorsey, Senior Fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore who helps us understand what’s at stake for those involved.

Presented by: Melisa Idris, Joyce Goh, Khoo Hsu Chuang
