An enlightening journey. The week a paradigm shifted once again.


Sitting in this hole in the wall i call a room in YOKOHAMA, with the tv blaring japanese commentary of a J league premiership match on one side and a baseball match playing on a field just outside my balcony, i think to myself....

"It is confirmed!...."

I (and i do believe, many of us are the same) don't know much about the world i live in.

Day in day out, i live in a world that is safe and familiar, thinking that i am the master of my sensibilities and the commander of my life path. Being here in Japan and being a part of the experts of the content industry seminar, i have learnt how small my goal is and how limited my vision is in the context of the world film market.

Our japanese counterparts are very much like us, except that they are in suits most of the time and their film and animation industry is a billion dollar industry . Although they have embraced many western sensibilities, they are to a large extent, still... ASIAN, wiith many inherent Asian values.

A warrior nation, not unlike Malaysia, who have learnt (the hard way) that to capture the world, war and violence is not the way. They now know that to be a leader and gain international respect, you have to beat the Goliaths of the world at their most prized and most championed playing field... the free market!...

or in my case, the global film market .

In the Global film industry, we all know that asians, as a people, have bought into the western value system after years of idolising Hollywood, so much so that many of us are actually practising it's subcultures and have rooted it deep into our consiousness. And here we say we want to champion our asian values to the world, but my question is, How do we fight or stop this seemingly unstoppable hollywood machine?, An industry which seem to have endlessly deep pockets to propogate and instigate almost anything.

Taking the japanese example, i think the only way we can beat them is by manipulating our diversely rich content ideas, this is because personally i think Hollywood has exhausted their content banks and are now churning CGI laden (excuse my French) crap!. Of late, they have been looking east, for ideas and this has become the best time for us to strike back due to their new found interest in our stories. BUT in order for us to be able to maximise our current leveraged position, we must be able to compete at their playing level. The Senarios, the anak mamis, the sembilus are all fine and great, for our film industry, but they would not be able to compete at the regional or world stage due to the localised nature of it's content. We need to come up with more brave and cutting edge content. We must maxime and embrace the richness of our socio and cultural heritage and display to the world, all of of the stories which make us who we are. MALAYSIANS. ASIANS.

In the context of Malaysia, IN ORDER TO DO THIS, we need to RELAX OUR CENSORSHIP LAWS. WE HAVE TO RELAX OUR CENSORSHIP LAWS. We must create a conducive environment for our 'karyawan' or artists to create content freely.

An example of this is while i was shooting BULI BALIK, i had to cut out a scene (at the last minute) because we had received a directive that we cannot show teachers in a bad light. The scene that was cut was a scene where the protagonist while in class screamed aloud when he was bullied by the antagonist. The teacher who had repeatedly warned his pupils not to make noise during his class had reacted in anger and threw the duster at the protagonist. Now, i am sure that many of us have experienced this at one point or another i our lives as this is a normal occurance at schools but to the powers that be, it is MENGHINA GURU-GURU or demeaning our teachers. My argument is, if it is demeaning to throw dusters at pupils, then showing the act in the film will further the cause and make people realise that they shouldn't be acting this way.

As is pointed out by my wife, we do not have stories of men raping and abusing children, but this situation is rampant in our society as is reported to us daily in the newspapers. Does one feel like going out to rape a child after watching a movie about a child being raped? If it does, then you need to go for an immideate check-up and commit yourself to the insane asylum straight away. These psychopaths who do what they do, are already sick individuals who will act based on their own set of warped sense of values and it has nothing to do with what happens in our cinemas.

Again i reiterate my point that recognising our problems, like our beloved Prime Minister did with his shakedown on the Malaysian cabinet (and UMNO for that matter) to address the issue of money politics and corruption, is a clear indication that we need to be more transparent in our daily dealings to be able to move forward as a nation and an excellent way to gain the people's trust at the same time.

Our prime minister's game plan as i see it is, RECOGNISE then ADDRESS. ADDRESS then FIX. FIX and then SOLVE.

This then backs my point on the relaxing of the censorship laws, as by our Prime Ministers example, we know that we cannot address a problem, if we do not recognise that there is a problem in the first place. He champions the cause of transparency so why shouldn't our cinema be able to reflect this?

I think it is high time for our Government (whom i respect and love very much for all that they have done for the country and the film industry specifically) to free our content creators to CREATE our own unique take on these content, that so far has always received a foreign point of view. This will help our industry to formulate a Malaysian style of storytelling, which will then help in our country's Image branding as the content industry will be able to represent BRAND MALAYSIA to the world.

In asia many film industries have managed to brand their style of film making to their respective countries and these style has even been cemented into the minds of our little ones. Everyone knows BRAND BOLLYWOOD, BRAND JAPAN (with it's Horror and Anime), BRAND HONGKONG (with it's Martial art and violent movies), BRAND KOREA (Action and Special Effects movies) and more recently BRAND THAILAND (with it's new and explosive young cinema which encompasses Action and Horror) and coming up BRAND INDONESIA (with it's also alternative and interesting young films which deals with teenage issues). So, where do we fit in, in this equation?

In accordance to the point above, i must again strongly point out that there cannot and must not be DOUBLE STANDARDS when dealing with local and international content. Our censorship disallows local filmmakers to show V,H,S (violence, horror and sex) but they allow foreign films to have these elements.

We cannot ask the Americans, the Thais, and the Japanese to stop making films with V,H,S because these are the core ingredients of their pop cinema, so what do we do? .... RELAX OUR CENSORSHIP LAWS so that we can present our own unique views and stories with V,H and even S in them. Let us claim back our local market share of film revenue from the Hollywood machine by doing content as good, if not better, as them. Like what has taken place in KOREA right now. A country, which in a span of just 5 years after the government had relaxed it's censorship laws and pumped in 160 million USD into their film industry, has gained a 60 percent market share over foreign films, including the Mega hollywood blockbusters. Being apart of this industry, i believe and know that we have excellent creators, with the capacity to create world class content and this would be a challenge that will see them rise to the higher echelons of film making.

Examples of countries which have made an impact on the world film market are nations which have freed themselselves from the boundries of excessive censorship. These countries include KOREA and THAILAND, two countries which have taken the international filmmaking fraternity by storm and even the hollywood machine is snapping up their content for international distribution. The Thai film industry also took off when the censorship board relaxed it's regulations saving but one major rule against showing the royal family in whatever form. Fair enough i say. The most important thing is for the government to give us something more to create with.

I emplore the government to TRUST that your people are now educated enough to tell right from wrong and trust that we can make the right choices in our lives.

RELAX THE CENSORSHIP LAWS. Suppression creates interest and interest breeds recalcitrance and recalcitrance invites piracy/truancy to reign supreme.

After my trip to Japan and my experiencing the inputs from all of the 14 Asian country content industry experts in this ASIAN CONTENT INDUSTRY SEMINAR, i KNOW now what i have to do with my career. My new mission in life. To help put MALAYSIA on the GLOBAL FILMMAKING map! A tall order but i believe an achieveable one.

But in order to achieve this, i do believe the filmmaking fraternity in Malaysia needs more than just funding assistance from the government, but more importantly, the government allowing us to make more explosive and provokable content. Then our tagline of 'FILEM MALAYSIA DALAM ERA GLOBALISASI' has some semblance of meaning to it. Then we will not have our own people saying, "i don't watch malay movies!" and hear a new chant in the future, "I love Malaysian cinema!"

Let us make the difference you want us to make on the international stage. We are ready to make the difference and i believe that your people will choose to embrace this change in a positive way. Let our content creators have the choice, Let the people have the choice and i am confident (based on the case study of other countries success stories) that you will not be dissapointed. What do you have to be afraid of gentlemen and ladies of the cabinet, WE HAVE CHOSEN YOU (the government) over and over again haven't we?

Do you wanna be AFDLIN SHAUKI's personal assistant?

I have been working in this industry professionally for about 16 years, but i realised that it actually finally took off when i had proper representation in the form of a manager and a personal assistant. With their help i am able to focus more on the creative work while they concentrate on the nitty gritty stuff, which includes taking care of the product, ME! and Liasing with the clients.Being a bit spoilt now i think, i don't know or cannot imagine how i ever did without these people.

At first i was Managed and P.A-ed by my wife for for a coupled of years, then realising that we had a problem because we couldn't differenciate when we were 'Artiste and Manager' and when we were 'husband and wife' it had to be stopped before something worst happened. Next, my wife would just manage me and my sister in-law P.A.-ed for me for awhile. My sister in-law was wasted in that position because she is capable of sa much more. She is now one of my main producers in our company and my right hand man. Before she stop P.A.-ing me, i met my current manager, SHIMA.

It wasn't until then, 6 years back, that i found somebody solid who could do the two jobs as well as my previous managers if not better.

My current Manager/PA is an extraordinary woman. She started out as only a wardrobe assistant, eventhough she has a diploma in Fashion Design, when i first met her at ANTAH UTV while I was still shoooting BILA LARUT MALAM and in one occassion when we were brainstorming for sketches, i asked for suggestions and out of all the production crew that was there the only person who dared to give a suggestion was her. I was shocked initially, but when i got to know her a little better i realised that she had drive and ambition.

I offered her a job to become my personal assistant and to start learning to manage me, something she has no knowledge whatsoever about and she took up the challenge with a lot of courage and the eagerness to learn.

I told myself, this girl is gonna be somebody someday because she has got the attitude of a mad person and is willing to give anything a shot. It wasn't easy for her in the beginning, because everything was new plus i am quite hard on people when it comes to work solely because i want them to learn.

In this six years, besides managing me, she is also currently my 2nd Assistant Director on my film shoots and she occasionaly does production management for my company. All these skills she acquired by being around the right people, asking the right questions and experiencing production and management first hand.

Recently she expressed to me her desire /dream / ambition i.e. to be a FILM DIRECTOR!!!... wah lan terror or not terror.
Personally i am not surprised. She has the passion to do anything she puts her mind to and it would be wrong for me to be selfish and not support her natural evolution into better things.

So, with my commitment in supporting her to reach her goal, i have decided to lessen her workload to let her concentrate on things she wants to do. She will still be managing me but i am now left searching for a new personal assistant.

MY PRECIOUSSSS!!... sehari bersama BUAH HATI pengarang jantung gua.

Sebelum saya bukak cerita baru tentang hari bersama dua ekor tuan puteri ku ini saya ingin mengucapkan bebanyak terimakasih kepada semua pemberi komen untuk blog terakhir tu, Pada saya, saya seronok yang banyak orang teruja untuk menjadi proaktive dalam perbualan sesuatu isu tu.

Jika kita boleh begini di dalam semua hal, mungkin kuranglah perperangan dan hasad dengki di dalam dunia ini. Let discussion be the only solution to peace.

Saya memang minat melihat perbualan kita semua dan saya bersetuju dengan konsep ...

NIAT TAK MENGHALALKAN CARA.... dan akan cuba apa yang saya boleh untuk mengelakkan daripada ianya berlaku. Semampu saya dalam mencari nafkah yang halal..... jadi belilah album saya dan tontonilah filem saya banyak2!!! heehee

SAya juga bersetuju dengan SAHABAT yang mengatakan bahawa kalau kita bukan betul-betul ariff dlm bab agama ni, jgnlah kita perdebatkan sangat. Akan tetapi seperti blog yg saya tulis tu, niat saya hanya nak mengundang perbincangan dan perbincangan itu bagus untuk segala permasaalahan.

Tetapi mungkin kita mesti renungi juga apa dia didalam hidup kita yang kita betul-betul menegakkan kebenaran agama kita dan apa bahagian lain, jika ada, kita tak endahkan pulak. Saya rasa kalau kita mengikuti ajaran kita biarlah secara total. Islam is about moderation and balance isn't it?

Banyak juga video Ahmad Deedat yang gua dah belasah tengok and he always puts the point across that Islam is beautiful and i believe that.

Jgn bab nak kahwin empat kita guna agama, tetapi syarat2 kahwin empat tu tidak kita perihatin, pukul bini separuh mati, dera anak sampai masuk hospital, tak pulak mengikuti ajarannya.

GOD IS GREAT AND ALL KNOWING. Wallah hualam.
Yang buruk semua dari saya.

Inilah gua spending the day watching 'Sky High' at KLCC and then lepak sat kat KLCC pond with my lovely kiddies.

Mia, Dada dan Anais
Posing Superhero SKY HIGH...COMERRRR
"Penat la posing ... jum kita tengok air pancut pulak Anais" - Mia
Model pakaian kanak-kanak globe silk store
"Hey apa balik-balik ni... orang tak habis main lagi ni. tunggu sat eh dada" - Anais
"Kalau dada nak balik, dada balikla! kereta kita parking kat situ, jgn lupa bayar parking dulu ye" - Mia dan Anais
"Dada ni degilla, nanti Anais bagi Pukulan Padu Maut BAYOUGIIIN kang!!!"
"Letihla borak ngan Dada ni... biaq pi la dia, jok kita kira tingkap-tingkap kat bangunan-bangunan depan kita ni Anais!"


Kadang-kadang bila gua perhatikan anak-anak gua, gua tertanya pada saat manakah yang gua kehilangan the simplicity of my life, Keinginan untuk sentiasa mengetahui sesuatu yang baru dengan minda yang sentiasa terbuka, kesucian hati yang tidak berprejudis, keberanian untuk menghidupkan imaginasi dan kebolehan untuk sentiasa menjadi REAL / telus dikhalayak ramai. Dengan bebudak, what we see is what we get. Why aren't we the same as adults? WHAT HAPPENED TO US?

Every kodok wants other kodoks to be honest to them, but then we have a culture of cakap berlapik, which is disguising the truth for what it really is.... how many of us who want people to be truthful, are really open to the truth.... i wonder. is this making any sense?...

JUST the ramblings of a comedian after spending a day with his kids.

Isu-isu kuih bangkit!

Satu isu menarik yang hebat diperdebatkan di dalam comment for blogger section ialah mengenai kehadiran logo syarikat arak yang ada pada poster WHY YOU STILL FAT saya. Poster ini telah dibuat oleh Actor's Studio dan di dalam setiap persembahan yang diterbitkan oleh atau diterbitkan bersama Actor's Studio, mereka akan meletakkan logo syarikat arak itu kerana mereka adalah salah satu penaja utama actor's studio. Jadi walaupun mereka bukanlah penaja WHY YOU STILL FAT?, Actor's studio masih lagi memasukkan logo itu ke dalam poster.

Tetapi sesuatu yang ingin saya tahu pendapat anda ialah (terutama sekali kepada anonymous - CAYALAH! LU TETAP ANONYMOUS!)... maklumlah saya ni masih belajar..

Adakah ini bermakna yang saya menyokong syarikat arak itu?.... Adakah niat saya begitu? Walaupun saya tiada niat pun untuk mencari sponsor syarikat arak dan NIAT saya adalah untuk mengumpul wang untuk kebajikan dengan menggunakan bakat saya.

Adakah awak teruja untuk membeli arak bila terlihat logo arak itu pada poster saya?

Jadi anonymous, saja nak tanya lagi pasal kuang paham,

NIAT kita tak memainkan peranan lansung ke dalam equation ni? Jadi kalau macam tu kira kalau saya sokong LIVERPOOL pun kira haramlah pasal mereka disokong oleh Syarikat ARAK tu juga?. Tengok wayang pun haram ke? pasal iklan arak ada ditayangkan sebelum wayang bermula kan? dan jika awak faham advertising, revenue dari iklan itu yang juga membantu pawagam-pawagam memberi perkerjaan kepada beribu rakyat malaysia muslim tu pun haram ke?

Ada kawan cina pun haram ke?pasal ada di antara mereka minum arak dan makan babi. Oleh itu, dengan berkawan dengan mereka kita macam meredhakan perbuatan mereka dan berkata pada khalayak ramai contohilah aku yang mempunyai kawan yang makan babi dan mnum arak, kan?

Bekerja di Actor's studio, sebagai seorang kerani atau pun pengarah teater tu haram pasal , actor's studio teater tu di beri dana oleh syarikat arak, pasal takde badan lain yang mahu memberi wang untuk menyokong perkembangan teater negara.

Bagi kondom kepada orang berisiko tinggi untuk mengelakkan jangkitan aids tu pun haram kan. Pasal memberi tu maknanya menggalakkan kan? Walaupun niat untuk mengurangkan jangkitaan dan penderitaan dari penyakit menjadi niat utama.

Tidakkah NIAT kita memainkan apa-apa peranan penting dalam perjalanan hidup kita?

Hisap rokok yang memudaratkan badan pun haramkan?, pasal alkohol, babi, anjing ni semua dicategorikan dlm benda2 haram kerana ianya juga memudaratkan diri anda.

Sila bantu saya dengan penjelasan atau pendapat anda agar lebih terang nur dihati saya ....

Just something for all of us to ponder.

SELAMAT BERBUKA DAN SELAMAT BERPUASA KODOK-KODOK SEMUA!!!





The week that was for me.

Sorrylah gang chip kodok has been away for quite a while, sibuk gila nak cuba conquer the world ni.

first up there was the visit to rumah solehah with some other artistes to do public service announcements for Anti discrimination towards hiv sufferers, which was extremely grounding for me.... I guess whenever you think your problems are the most terror in the world, god shows you ada orang masaalahnya lagi dahsyat and that kinda gives you another perspective on your life...

Playing with the kids cheered me up more than i cheered them up i guess. Seeing those kids smile and laugh made me believe that i have this GIFT for a reason.



Thirdly, the 50th Asia Pacific Film Festival, which despite all the mengelabahness, went on quite ok i guess. Much kudos to Sheera for despite being a last minute host (And she got a lot of unfare flack for it i thought) she gave it her best and most of the audience enjoyed her in the show.

My mother selamat bernikah!!!.... i am so proud of her... she has been my strength, my support, why i am so driven to be a better person and to give my family a better life. She has always wanted the best for me and now i want what is best for her. i now have two moms and two dads. Who can say in their lifetime that I GAVE AWAY MY MOTHER ON HER WEDDING DAY... I LOVE YOU MAK AND I HOPE YOU WILL FINALLY FIND HAPPINESS WITH UNCLE TAIB... Nak kata semoga ke anak cucu pun you memang dah dapat cucu pun... so semoga ke cicit.. cocot le. heehee. I love you mom... Me and the rest of the adik beradiks will always be there for you.. ALWAYS


KODOKS GATHERING 2!!!... wow what an amazing night, going to watch a movie with some strangers who by the end of the night, became friends of mine. Sampai 3 pagi tu beb. Thank you to all the kodoks for arranging the 'CINDERELLA MAN' nite. What an awesome tendang bontot movie...Kalau you pernah susah dalam hidup you, i recommend you go see this movie because you can identify i tell you. Sacrifice, honour and the will to fight back after you dah tersungkor badak in life... that's a story you wanna see to lift you up and to make you belief... god gives to those who are patient through his tests and who rise up to it's challenges... SEDAP SIUTTT>>> PI TENGOK!!! TAK RUGI...

Semoga ramadhan ni membawa kita keinsafan terhadap segala kemungkaran yang kita lakukan. Chewah macam real.
Oklah gang another ramadhan is upon us so let's do our level best to buat ibadah puasa but at the same time, life must go on as usual. Banyak jugak kodok yang menggunakan excuse puasa ni sebagai alasan untuk meringankan tanggungjawab mereka but in actuality nothing should change from the norm, barulah RASO.

WHAT PUASA REMINDS ME OF.

1. Arabic serials. you know the ones about our prophets when suddenly the friends of the prophet would in mid conversation look into camera and a voice over would suddenly say, "yakulu ibrahimm!...." or Ibrahim said...

2. Buka puasa dengan korek hidung pasal masa sekolah dulu... bas LEN SENG selalu sampai rumah lambat. Under this topic ada juga terkorek hidung dan layan korek telinga dengan tak sengaja sewaktu puasa. heehee

3. Mandi wajib di saat-saat akhir nak masuk waktu imsak.... hee hee.

4. Beli food banyak gila untuk buka dan air buah bergelen-gelen tapi at last makan kuih aje!!

5. Every year i get confused bila kentut batal posa ke tak!!?? walaupun pada posa tahun lepas dah konfim org kata tak batal...

6. buat baju raya masa posa tapi raya kedua dah tak boleh pakai...dah sendat dll lagi.

to all my kodoks let this be a fruitful ramadhan. Although the religion is between you and god, janganlah terang-terang sangat kalau tak nak posa oii..

Peringatan utk sahabat: Niat berpuasa secara harian: “Sahaja aku berpuasa esok hari pada bulan Ramadan, tahun ini, fardu atasku kerana Allah Taala.” Niat berpuasa untuk sebulan: “Sahaja aku berpuasa sebulan Ramadan tahun ini, fardu atasku kerana Allah Taala.” [SELAMAT BERPUASA]
