Nasi Lemak 2.0

I am really looking forward to this movie, set to hit the cinemas on September 8, 2011. Incidentally, it opens on my birthday! ^^

This movie is 100% Malaysian made, scripted, directed and acted by the controversial Namewee. I have long been following his progress since his announcement of his intention to seek a grant from Finas to produce a movie under the "1 Malaysia" concept.

Sadly, as always in this country, when one is not of a bumi status, he failed to obtain the grant. What really touched me was the fact that he never gave up. And after 2 years, he has now produced his movie from his limited budget.

He makes me feel ashamed of being one of the bovines, moving left and right as nudged. What is 1Malaysia if there will always be a segregation of the races? What is 1Malaysia if we the silent majority continues to be silent and accept the unfairness? What is 1Malaysia if the discrimination becomes worse and not better? The spirit behind all that was done are conveniently hidden, and eventually forgotten. What was once a benefit now becomes an entitlement...

I will strongly support his movie, if not for the movie itself, for what it represents. I pray for peace and I pray for change.
