Utusan Malaysia has gone through quite a journey since its inception in 1939. It was once a newspaper that played an important role in helping Malaysia gained her independence. And while the nationalistic tone is still there in 2016, the public is now a bit disenchanted with how the publication frames it. Utusan realises this, and knows it is time for a change. But how do they plan to do it? And will it work, in a media landscape that is now vastly different? We speak to the Managing Director of Utusan Melayu (Malaysia) Berhad, to find out.

Here are the segments of the show:

1:18 - Asia Calling 1 - Midwives in Afghanistan

8:24 - Asia Calling 2 - Sri Lanka rises from the ashes of its civil war

15:20 - Utusan Malaysia - Time for a change?
