‘Lumpur’ is in Bahasa Malaysia meaning for mud-a mixture of soil and water.In this clip,people talk about the importance of the soil(tanah) and water(air) and want to have a peaceful and progressive country(tanahair).
A simple life may be a better life.
Two films were released in the past 2 days.I don’t want to say more on these clips because those two are quite informative and I know you will understand what they are talking about.Let’s enjoy!
The way of describing ‘Halal’ is too hilarious and exaggerated.However,in real life some people has misunderstanding on it too.It’s close to life,huh? 
In newspaper,we always get some news about racial motivated assaults.’The Son’ is the second clip of 15Malaysia involving racial issues which have been a very sensitive matter in Malaysia.I know most Malaysians do want to enjoy the life under ‘One Malaysia’.However,the destination is pretty hard to reach.
What will your dream of your house?A rich man will dream for a house with luxury renovations and functions,while a poor man only wants to have a simple house which could at least allows him to live in.Unfortunately this sort of things happens everywhere in the world.
Linus Chung directed this film contributing as a part of 15Malaysia.It shows the realistic issue in the country-the conflictions between the rich and the poor.When could we enjoy a better and more peaceful life?
I had posted out the first short film from the project 15Malaysia several days before.I got some comments saying that it was funny and meaningful.Well,I do agree it.
Two more short films were released in last week.
‘Chocolate‘ was directed by a very famous Malaysian director Yasmin Ahmad who just past away weeks ago.A sharp angle is her style of direction,so this film does.As a foreigner who has been in Malaysia for many years,I could feel the racial issue exists from the root.It brings a lot of unfairness to the people living in the same land.From my thought,it’s sometimes because of politics.In order to eliminate that issue,the politicians should learn how to jump out of this racial minds.This is the only healthy way to make the country go uptrend.
‘The Tree’ was the other short film which was released just right after ‘Chocolate’.It is directed by Amir Muhammad and casted by Y.A.B. Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat who is telling us that the God’s rule is a rule of nature,which I totally agree.
I think that is a very good start in Malaysia.At least,it shows that there are some groups of people who have realized the issues within Malaysia and already taking actions now.I hope more people could take part in it and resolve the issues one by one.A nice future of Malaysia will only stand on a good current basis.
I think this is the hot topic in Malaysia recently.15Malaysia is a project led by 15 local Malaysian filmmakers in order to make 15 short films.All the films are telling about the social and political issues in Malaysia currently.As I know,some well-known Malaysians have been invited to take part in some roles of the films-they are actors, musicians and top political leaders.All things are showing one concept-1Malaysia.
I just saw the first released film which is directed by Ho Yuhang and casted by Namewee.I like it pretty much.You may have a look here or go there to download it.
Other 14 films are coming in succession in several days.I bet you’ll get something!
