“The forest is gone – where is the money?” – on 16 August 2023, leading Indigenous representatives, environmental experts and anti-corruption activists from Malaysia gathered in Basel, Switzerland, for the Rainforest Tribunal, a symbolic event dealing with three decades of logging and grand corruption in Sarawak, Malaysia, under the regime of the recently deceased kleptocrat Abdul Taib Mahmud ("Taib"). A gripping 44-minute documentary on this unique event can now be accessed online.
