Thanks to the destruction of the forests the water problems have grown worse each year in Sarawak. We look at complaints about empty promises by the state government to bring clean water supplies to communities that have been waiting for 50 years! In Kanowit, residents tell us, a pipe was finally laid, but when they switched on the supply no water came out.

And the continuing concerns about the health effects of the aluminium smelter plant in Balingian. People living in the surrounding area say they are being poisoned by toxins.

The NCR land dispute at Bisi Jinggut is continuing. And we hear why PKR was forced to drop its petition against the Baram election result. BN has made it simply too expensive to challenge through the courts.
