Who is behind Sarawak Report has been revealed...

by David Cohen in The Evening Standard.

and this is Radio Sarawak!


Excerpt:

"In a flat above a restaurant in Covent Garden, an investigative reporter called Clare and a tribesman from Borneo covered in tattoos prepare to transmit their daily revolutionary radio broadcast deep into the Borneo jungle.

They make for an unlikely double act - she is a white, middle-aged Englishwoman, and he the proud grandson of a Dayak headhunter who broadcasts under the pseudonym Papa Orang Utan. Their aim is no less outlandish: to expose the alleged corruption of Taib Mahmud, chief minister of the Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo 6,500 miles from London, and bring an end to his 30-year rule."

More where I got this from:

It looks like IT and its related technology is making it much easier and cheaper to counter mainstream media under government control. The people involved are likely to be disparate but with a common objective. So beware those who think might is right and ordinary folks can be easily controlled.
