World Radio Day 2020: Power of the People

The focus for World Radio Day 2020 is on diversity and plurilingualism. So in our second story, we're looking back at two different stories about local indigenous communities in Malaysia, and we hear directly from members of the community, who have banded together to fight to protect their ancestral land from development.
