Bauxite is the mineral from which aluminium is extracted, and Pahang has them in abundance. Miners came years ago, and since then, the state has been covered in a blanket of red dust. We speak to an environmentalist to get a primer on what is really happening in the state and how it is affecting the citizens and the environment.

Here are the segments of the show:

Asia Calling 1 - Ethnic Hazara fleeing Pakistan
