Sarawak Politics



The Video "Inside Malaysia's Shadow State" was released just a couple of weeks ago.  This video, make by a group called Global Witness, claims that members of the state government of the East Malaysian state of Sarawak and their families are getting rich by shady deals.  If this is true, then corruption becomes even a bigger problem to deal with when trying to deal with sustainability issues in the region.
