About Us
Radio Free Sarawak is a radio station which brings the issues that matter to the rural and marginalised communities of Sarawak. Based in this Borneo state of Malaysia, it is led by community voice, giving the people a chance to speak out on the problems that they face in their changing lives. Alongside this, the show features activists and experts, all working together to highlight issues and create solutions for these communities who are often invisible in the media landscape of Malaysia.
Radio Free Sarawak provides a platform to the people and offers them their chance to answer back, to raise their own agendas, to criticise the plans being made on their behalf and to provide advice to anyone else in their situation. Touching on a broad range of topics - land grabs, dam building, resource extraction, community relocation, food security, rural to urban migration, access to modern infrastructure, preservation of culture and heritage, creation of markets and economic potential - these are all issues that affect ordinary Sarawakians, and Radio Free Sarawak gives them a chance to talk about them.
