Asia's Economic Decline

Megamix

Available for over a year

Many Southeast Asian countries are facing the worse economic slump in years. We speak to two young Asian people studying in Britain – David Char from Singapore and Angie Lym from Malaysia – about the impact the turmoil back home is having on their lives and education here. Also on the show, we hear from Kevin Steele, the director of Third World First, a national student organisation that campaigns on issues like human rights and global poverty; and discuss a report on the itchy skin condition, psoriasis.
