Today we ask 'Why is it important for indigenous women to be trained as leaders in their communities?' We interview Ms Peramah binti Riman from Sungai Mai in West Malaysia who tells us the differences before and after she participated in an indigenous women's training centre for orang asli concerns. She says that indigenous women have the right to play a key leadership role in their communities and to raise their voice to protect indigenous rights.

We hear from Joshua Jabeng from Selangua who tells of more illegal logging happening in Ulu Muput Anap in Tatau. The villagers are shocked that their NCR land has been invaded are now compiling evidence to prove that they have been the native land owners since 1883.

And we hear from our very own commentator Christina Suntai on the shocking statement by Chief Minister Adenan Satem that the Government will go ahead with dams despite protests from locals and NGOs. She asks how the government would feel if their longhouses were to be submerged.

Stay tuned.

Temubual bersama Pn.Peramah Binti Riman yang tinggal di kampung orang asli sungai Mai semenanjung Malaysia. Beliau telah menyertai bengkel kepimpinan wanita orang asal dan berkongsikan pengalaman beliau dalam program tersebut serta memberitahu bahawa pentingnya peranan wanita dalam mempertahankan hak orang asal. Beliau menasihati kaum wanita di sarawak supaya bangun dan berani bersuara dalam mempertahankan hak orang asal.

Joshua Jabeng mengongsikan perjalanan beliau ke tempat asal beliau di Ulu Muput Anap Tatau. Orang kampung terkejut melihat kelibat syarikat yang tak dikenali mengambil kayu dan sewenang-wenangnya menerokai tanah adat org kampung…Kini orang-orang kampung sedang mengumpul bukti kehadiran mereka di tanah tersebut sejak dari 1883. Kerajaan tidak boleh sesuka hati menyerahkan tanah mereka kepad mana-mana syarikat.
