May 13th- Is It Better to Forget?

It's been 50 years since the May 13th riots killed nearly 200 people, and Malaysia has a new government. For the anniversary, we speak to Mohsin Abdullah, Contributing Editor at the Edge, for his personal experience of the riots in 1969; how we can learn from the lessons of the past; and moving forward in a New Malaysia.

Presented by: Lyn Mak
