Combatting Corruption & Discrimination in Sarawak | Broadcast: 18 December 2019

On today's show, we tackle the thorny issues of corruption and discrimination in Malaysia. Two topics that have grabbed the nation's headlines in recent months. MACC's recent announcement that it will reopen and resume investigations into cold cases, including those involving high profile individuals, has got Malaysians talking. But what does it mean for the future of Sarawak?

We speak to activist Michael Jok who recently attended the “East Malaysians Against Corruption” seminar in Sabah on the definitions of corruption and abuse of power. He guides us through the basics, from a local level at the longhouse, all the way up to grand scale theft of the nation. Then, Nicholl Ragai Lang delves into the issue of institutionalized corruption and asks how it became so entrenched in the first place for today’s Kenang Pengarang. And Siti Radiah from the NGO Purple Lily talks about corruption, cronyism and discrimination in the business-sector in Sarawak.

Lubok Antu YB Jugah Muyang recently called on the Sarawak government to solve what he says is a “racial imbalance” in the civil service and called for a holistic approach to the composition of all races without compromising on quality during the recruitment process. We hear from him on why fair representation is necessary in Sarawak and listen to stories of discrimination from Marini in Simunjan and Gabriel from Bintulu.

Tune in for all this and more, including our usual Berita Menoa. Semoa Kitai Tau Bejako!
