Introducing Voices to Action, An Eight-Episode Series on Sabah’s Future

Sabah faces many challenges, but solutions are within reach. That’s why Kopitiam Council has teamed up with SABAR (Sabah Action Body Advocating Rights) to bring you Voices to Action, an eight-part series where experts and changemakers tackle the most pressing issues shaping our state, from education and healthcare to infrastructure and governance.

We’ve spent the past few weeks recording at American Corner Sabah in the Sabah State Library, a fantastic space where anyone with a voice and a vision can start their own podcast.

Starting March 19, we’ll release a new episode every week, leading up to SABAR’s town hall sessions, where you, the people, will have the chance to be heard and help drive real change.

Sabah’s future isn’t just something to talk about, it’s something we can shape together. Tune in, get informed, and be part of the action.
