On The Show Tonight: Heartless Towards The Homeless. The policies of 'development' under the decades long regime in the State of Sarawak has created shanties of 'squatters' around towns like Miri, people kicked off their own indigenous lands by loggers and planters. Now they are getting in the way of local MP Tiong King Sing's latest Sibiew River project and he has announced they must be shooed away and their homes torn down - all in the middle of Covid. We hear from DAP's John Brian Anthony and speak to PKR Womens' dep head Sulhaidah Suboh about families she found looking for food in the trash in the same area. What provision is being made?

This and much more online from 6pm...
