Malaysia’s first zombie attack. Like the first national car, is yet another milestone for Malaysia. The first known reported case was in Port Dickson, in a Tom Yam restaurant close to the army base camp. Shima Mat Jidin (victim) was singing Ku Cari Seiras Wajah made popular by SKOIN in the Sunday night open mic karaoke, when she started coughing non-stop with smoke coming out from her Japanese curled, artificial brownish gold ...coloured hair. She fell unconscious and a minute later started eating people alive, and then those people eaten alive started eating other people who were alive and then… well it didn’t quite stop from there. But then again, people do die due to strange causes in this country; like over eating; or being flattened out by concrete slabs; from having too much money or brain cancer from mobile phones radiation - mostly due to the way they live or perhaps haven’t been living any other way, being eaten by zombies? Why should it be any different?

Nothing is certain at the moment apart from the fact that the zombies are coming to get you. We kid you not.

Serangan zombi peringkat kebangsaan di negara ini tidaklah sama seperti penghasilan otomobil pertama namun ianya tetap signifikan terhadap perjalanan sejarah negara Malaysia. Kes pertama yang diketahui dilaporkan di Port Dickson, di sebuah Restoran Tom Yam berhampiran kem angkatan tentera Malaysia. Shima Mat Jidin (mangsa) sedang menyanyikan lagu “Ku Cari Seiras Wajah” daripada Kumpulan SKOIN pada malam karaoke terbuka sebelum beliau mula batuk dengan dahsyat dan asap berkepul-kepul keluar dari rambutnya yang diwarnakan dengan warna perang-perang emas. Beliau kemudian bangun semula dan mula menggigit pengunjung pengunjung restoran itu yang kemudiannya turut dijangkiti. Populasi Port Dickson lenyap dalam masa enam jam.

Tapi sememangnya rakyat Malaysia sering menemui ajal secara pelik - mati akibat terlebih makan, dihempap slab konkrit, akibat terlalu banyak wang atau kanser otak disebabkan radiasi telefon bimbit - secara generalnya disebabkan oleh gaya hidup mereka. Apa apa pun, mungkin ia tak terlalu berbeza dengan mati digigit zombi.

Belum ada yang pasti tentang kejadian ini - namun ianya sangat sangat ngeri! Serius tak tipu!

Vui Kong's story now in theatre

By Patrick Lee (Free Malaysia Today)

PETALING JAYA: The story of condemned drug mule Yong Vui Kong will be made into a stage play. Entitled “Banduan Akhir di Sel Akhir” (The Last Prisoner in the Last Cell), the 50-minute production will be based on Yong's life story.

Directed by Shahili Abdan (popularly known as Nam Ron), Banduan will star local actor Xavier Fong as Yong, and feature the likes of Tuan “Tapai” Faisal and Dira Abu Zahar.

Commissioned by Amnesty International Malaysia (AIM), the play will be in Bahasa Malaysia, but will have English subtitles.

"This is a chance for us to show something serious in a creative way, and bring a big impact to society," said Moizzis R Cong, Banduan's scriptwriter.

A firm opponent against the death penalty, Cong believes that capital punishment does not deter crime but makes it worse.

"We had planned to do a play about the death penalty for a long time," he added.

When asked why Yong's story was chosen as the basis for the play, Nora Murat, AIM's executive director, said that they were looking for a story where everyone could relate to.

The play's executive producer, Faisal Mustaffa, agreed. "(Vui Kong's) story is not only a story, but also a drama," he said.

"It's (also a story) about poverty, how it affects people and how the system responds to them," Mustaffa added.

Easy money

A product of a broken home, Yong's parents separated when he was a toddler, leaving him to be raised by his mother. Dropping out of school, he soon started a short life in crime by selling pirated VCDs.

Spurred on by his mother's worsening health, he volunteered to become a drug mule after being told that it would bring him easy money.

On June 13, 2007, the Sabahan was caught with 47gm of heroin by the Singaporean authorities. He was subsequently sentenced to death for drug trafficking in the island state.

He was only 18 at the time.

Converting to Buddhism during his stay in prison, Yong has since appealed to Singapore President SR Nathan for clemency.

Originally scheduled for a clemency hearing on Aug 26, this year, his appeal has been extended to Jan 17, 2011.

A petition drive calling for Yong to be spared the death penalty is currently ongoing, and has since collected over 130,000 signatures. It also saw support from Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali and DAP strongman Karpal Singh.

Banduan will open for five nights from Oct 10 at the Black Box Theatre in Solaris, Mont Kiara. It will also be shown in a Penang location on Dec 10 this year.

Tickets can be obtained with a minimum RM10 donation to AIM.

PEMENTASAN BANDUAN AKHIR oleh RUMAH ANAK TEATER

'One death can save the lives of many'

What worries me most now is the seemingly pervasive opinion among Malaysians that only tough measures can deter drug offences, and that the Singapore president must not show compassion on Yong and risk... opening the floodgates. These death penalty advocates are convinced one death can save the lives of many.

Can it?

It has been nearly three decades since Malaysia first launched its anti-dadah campaign, but the country is confronted with more drug-related social ills today. Dozens, if not hundreds, have been hanged, including foreigners, over the years, and the effectiveness of these deaths is negligible.

Corruption, a cracking education system, uneven economic development, lack of social welfare support, and the appalling and dehumanising institutions such as prisons and rehabilitation centres are the core factors why the anti-dadah campaign has become a futile exercise.

Even in Singapore, drugs continue to flood in. While better managed and under control, the numbers of drug users rose by 600% between 2006 and 2007 according to a Straits Times report in January 2008.

All this brings me to ponder on the question of restorative justice, and I am indebted to a death penalty abolitionist from Taiwan who enlightened me to the practice at a recent forum.

While retributive justice focuses on the offender, with laws and punishment being the core values, restorative justice emphasises on the offender, the victim and the wider community.

In countries like Germany, Australia and New Zealand, mechanisms are already in place to apply restorative justice, encouraging the offender to repent and to seek forgiveness from the victim. In return, the victim and the general public are counselled to forgive and to assist the offender in rehabilitation and reintegration so that he or she may become whole again psychologically.

Not based on vengeance and punishment

This is a justice that reconciles and heals, and is based on the principles of forgiveness, atonement and restitution, rather than vengeance and punishment.

Hannah Arendt, a German political theorist of Jewish origin, said in the aftermath of the Second World War that “the problem of evil will be the fundamental question of postwar intellectual life in Europe. She was right.

Fully aware of their own inertia and failure to prevent the massive killings exacted by the Nazi regime, many European countries went on to introduce laws that would protect future refugees. The death penalty was also abolished in the latter years to minimise miscarriage of justice.

Most importantly, the darkest chapter in the modern European history prompted many to confront self-righteousness, and started to look into ways to ensure the state would safeguard and enhance the interests of even the most insignificant weak minorities in society. Are we surprised that in cities like Munich and Vienna, cases of murders and rapes are rare despite the lack of the death penalty?

One may condemn Yong to one heart's content, but we must be careful not to become so self-righteous, legalistic and overwhelmed by our moral certitudes, and think that the underlying factors that contributed to the misdeeds of people like Thiru Selvam, Rozman and Yong did not matter. Without a holistic approach, both Singapore and Malaysia will only continue to hang the “mules” and let go of the real kingpins.

When meting out punishment, we must bear in mind justice is supposed to be a power that heals, restores and reconciles, rather than just hurts, punishes and kills.

Yong has clearly expressed his remorse, and all that I humbly ask is a chance for him to be spared the ultimate punishment. The Singapore authorities can still keep him in jail and monitor his behaviour for the longest period possible, but I am certain a life-changing process on the part of Yong will touch many more lives, the draconian, degrading and spiritually dark conditions of the prison notwithstanding.

Yong is ready to reconcile with the people of Singapore and his fellow Malaysians, are we willing to show him compassion and restore the broken relationship?

The prison authority in Singapore also says it will not allow the heart sutra written by Yong to see the light of the day even after execution. Why? Is it afraid that these religious writings may awaken more people that an alternative measure to death penalty is possible, as some Singaporeans have been bravely campaigning for?

Understanding the craft

Live The Moment by DAWN JEREMIAH (The Star)

Eye-opening experience in acting class by popular actor Nam Ron

IF someone had told me that I was going to be acting on television and film five years ago, I would have laughed.

Of course, we all dreamt of gracing the silver screen, winning an Oscar and strutting down the red carpet at one point of our lives.

I wanted to become an actress when I was six years old and was excited when I got called to be in my first television commercial.

I thought it was going to be all fun and games, but once I got on set, it was all about heavy makeup, intoxicating hairspray, super hot lights, adults fussing over everything you did, ate and wore, wires that made me trip, production crew barking instructions all over the place, everyone wanting you to act cute 24/7 (if only I had learnt to roll my eyes then) and long hours that went past midnight (which was unheard of when you’re in kindergarten). I felt miserable and begged to go home.

My so-called dream ended right there, lasting a whole two weeks.

So I went on with life and pursued what I had set out for — a “real” career in the broadcast media.

I still did TV commercials, because they proved to be much easier to handle once you’re no longer a kid.

Plus, most of the commercials I did, did not require much skill and they were more modelling than acting.

Yet there I was, in late 2007, on the set of Sadiq & Co., the first television series I appeared in.

I was excited, but I wasn’t ready – as I was the sort of person who needed to learn something thoroughly before taking a leap and if I were to be hired as an actor, I wanted to make sure I acquired the proper acting skills to do the job well.

However, every actor I spoke to said none of them were ever prepared anyway and our industry is such where most of the top actors here today never took a single acting class in their lives. They told me the best way was to learn through experience.

Then came the next series, and a film, and another series, and another movie, and another, and another.

As the months and years passed, I still felt as though something was missing, and I knew that deep down, not only do I need to improve my Bahasa Melayu, I still needed to understand the actor’s craft and the ability to create a character.

So when actor Riz Ainuddin (Arjuna, Putera Pura) told me about an acting class that Nam Ron (Shahili Abdan) was planning to have under RAT (Rumah Anak Teater), I jumped at the opportunity.

For the uninformed, Nam Ron happens to be one of the most accomplished theatre and film actors locally today, having acted in Gubra, Paloh and Histeria among many more. With a fondness for visual symbolism and interest in social politics, he also made several short films, tele-movies and one independently-funded movie, Gadoh. I first heard of him when I watched the theatre production Aircon and was wholly impressed.

Now back to my class. Not only was Nam Ron going to teach everyone himself, the workshop also had my co-stars from the film Hooperz, such as Riz and Fikhree Bakar (Puteri Gunung Malaya, Arjuna) and was held during weekends.

We learnt many basic things, such as breathing and limb exercises to loosen the body and relax our minds.

Those skills sound extremely simple and are normally taken for granted, but they are imperative as they allow our performances to remain fresh.

I found out that apparently, I wasn’t breathing right for acting and within two seconds, he could see that my mind was hardly relaxed.

Nam Ron taught us the art of eye contact, voice projection, posture, walking and the differences in using them for theatre and film. I also found out that my eyes tend to get shifty if I’m unsure about a certain situation. He also taught us how to act with props, to hold and visually display our relationship with that particular prop without having to say anything.

One of the most challenging lessons to-date was learning how to channel feelings from our hearts that could be reflected through our eyes. We were not allowed to move a single muscle on our faces (because if I smiled, then obviously I’m feeling happy, right?).

So yes, after having trained some of the biggest newcomers in local television, Nam Ron wasn’t letting us off the hook that easily.

We first had to guess what each other was feeling and then reply with eye contact in response to whatever our partner was feeling.

We’re only halfway through our class, but I must say, it has been an eye-opening experience for me. Now everything makes sense and I sure hope whatever we learnt will translate smoothly on camera.

Our future classes will have elements of the Stanislavski Method and the Meisner techniques, well-known methods practised by both film and theatre actors around the world. I can’t wait!

Rumah Anak Teater, Street Theater: RAGUT

Amnesty International Malaysia's "Women Reclaim the Night" on 9 March 2010 to celebrate International Women's Day 100th anniversary.

RAGUT, a street theater by Rumah Anak Teater held true to the intention of the event:

Women on a daily basis were forced to negotiate their fundamental rights to movement and personal security due to the climate of impunity, discrimination and lack of gender consideration in development issues.

Women continue to find themselves left out and be reminded that the Night is not a time for Women to be on the Street due to the risk of personal safety and violence. We choose to end this circle of Discrimination and the Culture of Fear that women are raised into and threatened by the possibility of violence to walk the streets at Night.

Rumah Anak Teater Stages 'Short Eyes' at PJ Live Arts

by Kusha Basir (Malaysian Digest)

KUALA LUMPUR, 5 AUG, 2010: Rumah Anak Teater (RAT) in collaboration with Selangor Tourism will be staging a drama depicting the life of the minority community set in a prison entitled Short Eyes.

According to its director, Fared Ayam the play has its own uniqueness that would appeal to the interests of a wide range of audiences.

“I believed that each theater is unique, however, there are some differences in this show. The storyline is rough, realistic and close to the community. Apart from that, a strong script also makes a huge difference in this theater, “said Fared.

Other members of the production team for Short Eyes also include Nam Ron, who is artistic director and actor for the show, as well as Zahiril Adzim who’s been casted as its main actor.

“Short Eyes is not just a theatre about life in prison. It is an actual reality of based on real-life about the world unknown to many,” said Nam Ron.



..The characters for the show are made up of African-American, Puerto Rican and Caucasian prison detainees who attempts to find a way to escape from the madness of prison life through love, religion, terrorism, faith and drugs.

“This theater shows the dark reality rarely seen in any theatre. In addition, there’s honesty of the actors portraying their characters,” said Zahiril.

Short Eyes, which will be performed in Malay, will be staged from today until August 8 at PJ Live Arts in Petaling Jaya.
