"People are watching and we know who is corrupt," he said. "If Najib as prime minister choose them as ministers, his political party will lose the next general elections."

Is 'is' correct? Shouldn't it be 'are' to be match 'them', which is plural? Thanks.

I would say you are right. It should be "who are" as it refers to corrupted persons.
