The BIG durian

The first watching this "docudrama" in the tutorial class, to be honest, I've fallen a sleep~
I have no idea what are they talking about (but at least I know is something about operasi lalang), I just remember the uncle said Adam's brother have been killed by a Sultan and that's all.

But today I rewatch again on youtube, I still not really get it, due to my poor English and malay~
So... I google it what is operasi lalang in chinses which is "茅草行动", and slightly get what are they talking about, what is operasi lalang and what was happening during 1987.

Honestly, I have really no interest and dunno much about politics... But for some reason, I'll still do some research for it.

Back to the topic about Operasi lalang.... hmm... Actually, I really have no comment about it, because all of us haven't born yet and we can't feel the atmosphere of the environment... but we can know that time is one of the darkest period of democracy in Malaysia...  from then till now the Malaysian politics are always on the dark side, always spared the racial riots, cover the truth...

Just now interview my parents, "do you know what is operasi lalang?" my dad said: "oh... 茅草行动 lah...that time Mahathir indiscriminate catching people due to the chaos period..." I ask "you guys still when to work as usual on that period," my mom said: "of course, our boss said we didn't participate in this kind of things... blah blah blah..." and dad said due to the operasi lalang what Mahathir had done, and now is his retribution...

Is an interesting way in watching a "docudrama" to knowing our Malaysia history... and I know why is important to know our history... so we can know that what are those artists try to bring out the message   :D

week 3 class, What's in my mind~

Week 3 lecture class, we have talked about what is Art and introduced to us some Malaysian's artist, and Ms Carmen said in our generations many of us are only know kpop, jpop or others country artists, we are less knowing with our local artists... I admit that I only know a few of Malaysian's Chinese artists that often appear on TV and some famous director like Yasmin Ahmad and Chiu Keng Guan... I agree with it, it is a big problem and bad incident in knowing well others country artists rather than our own country.

But instead of talking our well knowing, why don't talk about the quality of our local artists and the media problem. Our local media such as Astro, they often broadcast others country drama, entertainment news or others country variety shows, and that also my family habit seldom watch the local content channel, therefore, we really have no idea with those Malay artists or others local unfamous artists. To compare the quality of our local artists and other country artists, apparently our local artist are slightly inferior, maybe they have no enough training or other problems. Of course, there are many of them like Fish Leong, Michelle Yeoh, Christopher Lee and etc. they are famous Malaysian artists but all of them are develop in overseas therefore they only have this achievement in nowadays.

It is really important to knowing our local artists in our broadcasting field...but sometimes I really think of why I'm not born in Korea or study overseas there so that I can only knowing their local artists instead of knowing those that I'm not interested with. However, I'll try my best to know some of them and... I'll still continue my k-popper life~~ >.<

But I'm still proud of being a Malaysian~
