Sabah is in the limelight in a big way. Its state assembly has been dissolved- a move disputed by opposition politicians- even while it remains among the most impoverished and hardest-hit by Covid-19. Add its proximity to the South China Sea, a key beachhead for the mounting US-China standoff, and the possibility that its (caretaker) chief minister could be the next Prime Minister, and the plot really thickens.

The man of the hour? Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, Founder of Parti Warisan Sabah and caretaker Chief Minister of Sabah, who discusses these issues and more.
