MEDIA RELEASE
After its recent break Radio Free Sarawak is
re-launching this week with an expanded team and greater ambitions.
The show kicks off with a two hour
daily timeslot from 6 – 8 pm on the Short Wave band 17560 kHz. It will
also be available free online via the website www.radiofreesarawak.org .
As before, the station will continue to focus
on the concerns and interests of the ordinary people of Sarawak, mainly rural
folk, who currently have no access to an independent news source.
However, it will also address urban and
Malaysia-wide issues in recognition of its popular following among internet
users and listeners from other states.
Radio Free Sarawak will provide an alternative
platform to the government-controlled brhoadcast and print media, which only
exists to praise and promote the Chief Minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud, and
neglects such issues as land-grabs, disenfranchisement and corruption.
The station will reach out and listen to the
voices of the people of Sarawak and work on exposing the problems that have
resulted in Malaysia’s richest state becoming home to many of its poorest
people.
Expect to hear voices also from the opposition
parties, who achieved nearly half the votes at the state election (despite BN
vote rigging), but who never get adequate recognition from the licenced media.
And, of course there will be plenty of music
and entertainment with the return of popular D Jays Papa Orang Utan (who will
host the Sunday show), Kakak Burung Tiong, along with a new voice leading day
time news coverage Michael Ngau.
