EPISODE 13 : SSKM Part 1 - I want a divorce!

For Malaysia Day, we have decided to turn our gaze to East Malaysia and check out the Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) movement, which calls for the East Malaysian regions of Sabah and Sarawak to back out of the nation that they formed in 1963.  In this first episode, we get into the historical context behind the creation of Malaysia, as well as how the autonomy promised to both regions were slowly eroded and taken away, and finally, how a little thing called ‘social media’ helped push the government to keep a promise that was made 58 years ago.
