I'm writing this close to National Day on Aug 31, which means it’s nearly time for more instalments of the documentary series Road To Nationhood. It’s a series of projects I’ve been involved with for the last few years, telling the story of how Malaya achieved independence, and subsequently became Malaysia.

This year, you get not one but two documentaries. Late September will see a history of Sarawak, and before that we get to tell the story of Konfrontasi (Confrontation).
