Asia Downunder - Series 13, Episode 17

This Asia Downunder episode touches on a sensitive subject for the Asian community: problem gambling. The segment showcases both stories of redemption and tragedy, including one person who lost $100,000. Next are profiles of Charlie ASH guitarist Mailee Mathews and comedian Jerome Chandrahasen — both pursuing their artistic dreams in Wellington. Asian films playing at the 2006 NZ Film Festival are previewed, and in the cooking tutorial it's chicken with dried fenugreek leaves. Finally in a touching tribute, Malaysian-born actor Yvonne Tan discusses her final battle with a brain tumour.
