Overview

"The Silent Riot" relives the dark days of Sabah from the eyes of key witnesses and pinpoints the mastermind behind the 1986 Sabah Riots. In 1985, a historic state election overthrew the reigning party, Parti Berjaya, in Sabah after a secret pact was formed between the opposition coalition. The fateful night of the election day took a surprising turn for the worst; a power struggle emerged from within the opposition coalition. The coup would eventually trigger a grand-scale violent demonstration, claiming several civilian lives. An event rarely spoken about - making this - a silent riot.
