About

Health dominates several stories in this Asia Downunder episode. First up: the potential of pig cell transplants for treating diabetes — but the idea is not universally welcomed. Then a look at the high number of illegal home satellite dishes popping up in Manukau city, and reporter Riyaz Sayed-Khaiyum highlights charity Operation Restore Hope's life-changing facial surgeries in the Philippines. There's a profile of a Malaysian born father and daughter's parallel cooking careers, then rock band Infinite Flying Kick close with some mean guitar riffs. Spicy corn fritters are on the menu with director (and chef!) Bharat Jamnadas.
