Sarawak, From Under the Shadow of Taib Mahmud

Last week, in light of the passing of Taib Mahmud, we discussed the legacy of the Sarawakian strongman and how his policies shaped Sarawak over the years, for better or worse. 

This week, we look to the future and explore how will Sarawak emerge from under the shadow of Taib Mahmud. 

We once again speak to Dr James Chin, Professor of Asian Studies, University of Tasmania.
