The Silent Riot (2013) poster

"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.
