Treasures of Asia

This week, In Case You Missed It travels across Asia to unearth hidden stories from the land of Indonesia, India, Vietnam and Australia. From the remnants of Gafatar in Indonesia, to a theatre show on the history of Asian immigration in Sydney, the curated stories from Asia Calling will surely enlighten your weekend.

Here are the segments of the episode:

1:11 - Asia Calling 1 - Indonesia's Gafatar Community

8:31 - Asia Calling 2 - 1965: The Year of the Genocide in Indonesia

17:42 - Asia Calling 3 - Women's representation in the parliament of India

24:58 - Asia Calling 4 - Vietnamese studying in America

32:38 - Asia Calling 5 - Theatre on early Asian migrants in Australia

NOTE: In the 4th Asia Calling story (Vietnamese studying in America), one of the hosts made a reference to the Vietnam war and said that "When Reagan sent the troops to Vietnam...". This was factually incorrect. America started sending its troops to Vietnam under President John F. Keneddy's administration. We would like to apologise for the error made.
