For the first time in my life, I really have to admit that Puteri Gunung Ledang is so far the first Malaysian movie that contains all the right ingredients for a good and watchable movie. Truthfully, I have never liked any Malaysian-made movies before PGL, thinking that either the filmmakers here never actually bother for quality for the sake of money or perhaps, obviously, that they don't know the proper principles of film-making after all. When I decided to watch PGL a few weeks ago, I kept asking myself if this money was worth the ticket price. Fortunately, it was. Thanks to Teong Hin Saw's brilliant direction, PGL gives a refreshingly new perspective to the casual viewers and also fans of World History.

Basically, it is a love story between Hang Tuah, the legendary Malay Warrior of Malacca and the Javanese princess Gusti Putri (the title character) whose relationship arouses the tensions between two worlds: the Sultanate of Malacca and the Majapahit Empire. The plot may be a bit straightforward but its production values makes a major leap over the previous Malaysian outings; you can safely assume that PGL is definitely a work of a pro. Great cinematography (forget about the Cameron Highlands issue), exhilarating camera moves and editing, decent fighting sequences and quality SFX prove it all. Casting, on the other side, is a mixed bag: some perform extremely well, expressing their powerful gestures convincingly while the rest are surprisingly wooden, leaving lots of rooms for improvement.

It's true that PGL is not without flaws: the most obvious is the pacing of the entire movie and as a result, it is not a well balanced movie. The lack of any action sequence in the middle act makes the movie seem a bit draggy, filled with long (twisted for some viewers) conversations, tight focus upon the two lovers and other unnecessary slow-moving sequences. Unlike any international epic movies you have seen, PGL is rated 'G', suitable for the whole family, which basically means that it contains no forms of profanity or suggestive elements that may otherwise prove sensitive to some viewers. This only cheapens the maturity of this movie: for me, the whole movie, despite excellent production values, feels mild and unsatisfying as if I ate a half-baked cake.

PGL could have been a great contender in any film festival if a) it were a bit more sensual (ala Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), b) more violent (ala Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy), c) more thought-provoking and visually more disturbing (ala Ron Howard's A Beautiful Mind). Despite these inevitable drawbacks, the Malaysian film industry seems to be taking the right path and this is just the beginning. For now, PGL feels like a good movie. Not phenomenal, though.

Sure, the plot was a bit dragging, lame at times, illogical at others, but still, you must give credit for such a beautiful Malaysian movie. The cinematography (spelling?!) was fabulous, perhaps even up to Hollywood standards if i might say so myself.

so what if tiara's not really Javanese? nama pun acting. she played the role quite well, i can't really think of any other Malay actress who could pull it off better. The cast was quite nicely selected too, and aside for the Sabri Yunus jokes (which were one too many) while they were going up Gunung Ledang, the movie was really one of a kind.

Although they didn't win best movie for the FFM that year, I dare say they deserve credit for creating something as beautiful as that, definitely worth the millions spent.

I'd say the movie was a great achievement for the Malaysian movie industry, really, it'd be worth it just to watch it for the beautiful shots.

Puteri Gunung Ledang the most highly anticipated movie of the year has finally decided to make its appearance. The film managed to fulfill the audience's expectation on it. Credits have to be given to all the crew of the film who I can see had been working very hard to ensure the movie's success. The setting, the cinematography, the colours, the background music complementing each other and thus deliver this movie to a class of its own.

Thumbs up to M.Nasir as the Lord Admiral Hang Tuah. He has given a different interpretation to the elusive Hang Tuah. His facial expression very much reflected the turmoil of emotions between his "cinta agung" and his loyalty to his Sultan.

Tiara as the beautiful princess of Mount Ledang has done her best to envelope herself into the character and she has done it well. The unspoken bond between the princess and Hang Tuah was clearly prevailed by her eyes, smile and gesture as they were united by the waterfall.

Overall, it is a good film and thumbs up to the script writer for the very poetic dialogue especially the dialogue between Hang Tuah and the princess when they expressed their undying love for each other. It is a sad love story and I couldn't help myself shedding a tear or two for the two lovers who had to endure so much for the sake of their "cinta agung"

Kudos to the whole production of Puteri Gunung Ledang!

I'm a great fan of the "golden age" of Malaysian cinema, when P.Ramlee simply awed us with his amazing movies. His comedies, tragedies and action-adventures left a lasting impression of the immense genius in him.

Sadly after his demise, very few Malaysia production ever left such an impression. Much of it was too immature and pales in comparison with the artistic works of our great Seniman Agung.

Now Puteri Gunung Ledang, an ambitious project, when first announced was well received. A movie to depict on of the greatest love stories of the Malay Archipelago, with a big budget and talented cast. Well, Kudos and Well Done to the production !

Director Saw Teong Hin has envisioned the periodic elements of Malacca Sultanate carefully and successfully. The cinematography was excellent, capturing every scene majestically and doing a lot of justice to preserve the historical elements of the movie. Tiara Jacquelina was brilliant in her role as Gusti Puteri.

M. Nasir, now he really has acting potential! The background music score was simply amazing. Overall, it's a monumental achievement in Malaysian movie production.

This handsomely mounted period epic set during the 16th century Malaccan empire is Malaysia's most expensive film at US$5M. The princess of Majapahit, Retno Dumillah, exiles herself to the Malaccan peak of Mount Ophir to entreat the company of her lover, the Malaccan warrior Hang Tuah. This is in open defiance of her brother, Gusti Adipati, the ruler of Majapahit, who had intended to marry her to a prince of the rival Demak empire. Adipati then decides to forge an alliance with the Malaccan sultanate instead by offering his sister as bride to the reigning Sultan, Mahmud. Hang Tuah's allegiance to duty is legendary. He slew his best friend, Hang Jebat, many years prior on the Sultan Mansor's orders. However, the Sultan Mahmud, a preening and decadent ruler, is a pale shadow of the glorious lineage of Malaccan royalty. Should Hang Tuah banish forever his love in favor of a vainglorious tyrant?

Production values are excellent in general. Picture overall has a glossy, polished sheen. Some inexperience in photography is evident – an intruding palm frond at the edges of the frame, actors half cut off at the sides, shot suddenly partially blocked by the back of an actor in front of the camera (!). The period milieu and mise-en-scene are gorgeous, the palace rituals and traditional malay / javanese speech appear authentic. Nice background research there. The music is excellent with a nice mix of western strings and Malay traditional instruments like the sruling during the love scenes and rebana in the palace scenes.

The acting is uniformly above par across the board, especially M. Nasir as the legendary warrior, Hang Tuah. Malaysian actors are some of the finest in this region and Nasir carries a screen presence that conveys the nobility of this most famous of perwira melayu. It is also nice to see Rahim Razali, a household screen personality, in an amiable performance as the Tok Bendahara. Tiara Jacquelina as the titular princess is adequately winsome. The script, however, does not allow her to show why she was such a sought after woman. Sofia Jane appears more assured as the Sultan's wife. Adlin Ramlee's alternately cocky, languid and foppish portrayal of Sultan Mahmud takes some getting used to, but in retrospect, it seems about right. Both the princess and the sultan get a chance to shine with a neat verbal confrontation near the end. The standout is Christine Hakim who, quite frankly, is a class act. Alex Komang is a washout in a poorly written role as the Majapahit prince, consisting exclusively of sneers and scowls.

The story overall could do with a lot more dramatic urgency. Many sequences look thrown in to appease the multiplex crowd, inserted without attention to the overall arc of the story. An earlier sequence of Hang Tuah taking on a posse of 'lanun darat' is very well done. However, there is a gratuitous action sequence which comes in so far off leftfield, involving some silly 70s- style kungfu fighting, that threatens to derail the entire film. This is the sort of action sequence where a fighter slashes his dagger in the air and ten fireballs erupt around him from the ground. Although this was meant as a 'battle of the mind', the overall effect is laughably cheesy. Worse, the whole sequence is arbitrarily inserted at a most inappropriate part of the narrative – there is no buildup and aftermath. Likewise, CGI superimposition of the 'seven requests of the princess', floating across the screen like a ticker tape, is ungainly.

Elsewhere, instead of character driven scenes, we get actors who pose and pose while mouthing purple prose. Many issues are unfocused as a result. Why and how did Hang Tuah and Dumillah fall in love? There are nice scenes of the couple riding horseback, doing an intricate courtship dance, at a lake. They look pretty, like postcards of two people in love, but the scenes lack actual resonance. At one point, Hang Tuah shows the princess his big Keris; she stares in awe at it. Unfortunately, no character driven dialog. The crucial scene where Hang Tuah meets his beloved atop Mount Ophir starts off nicely: like a breathless teenager hopelessly late for a date, he blurts: 'Dah tunggu lama ke?' ('Been waiting long?'). However, this is proceeded by endless swooping, panning and swirling of the camera around the actors including editing that I believe violate the 180 degree rule. All that 'technique' is frankly distracting. What's wrong with action-reaction, medium two shots and close-ups anyway? There are more than several shots where the emphasis was more on a sunset or a waterfall than the characters themselves. Anyway, the lovers go at it with dialog cribbed from a Harlequin romance.

Whither the inner conflict of the noble warrior between love and duty? We do get a solitary soliloquy of sorts: Hang Tuah talking to his reflection in a puddle of water like a refugee from an Ingmar Bergman film, and that's it. Why the great animosity between Hang Tuah and the Java prince? The film offers absolutely no exposition there.

Being a prestige film, direction is serious and high minded. However, this is largely betrayed by a dearth of psychological depth and dramatic weight. A certain lack of joie-de-vivre permeates the film, making one wish that the late great P. Ramlee could lend his charismatic presence to the whole proceedings.

The film ends poetically with Hang Tuah rushing up Mount Ophir in a sequence of solemn and hushed silence, in a moment of cathartic realization and sadness. The broad strokes for a grand tragedy are all there, but the interlocking narrative is unfocused. It's like hearing bits and pieces of a symphony from a distance. It's a shame: the money saved from that silly bit of aerial kungfu fighting could have gone towards additional scenes between the two main characters – the final sequence could have had much more impact.

I was one of those people queuing up excitedly during Merdeka, hoping to enjoy the most expensive malaysian movie. Nonetheless, all the publicity in the newspapers, the huge banners along the roads, and a glimpse of the opening rehearsal in KLCC didn't amount to a good turnout. This movie, to some extent, failed to satisfy my needs as a viewer.

I have to admit that the settings for this movie is excellent and the costumes, though less extravagant in Majapahit terms, is very much compensated in the Malaccan palace. The yellow colour of the court is just marvelous. It stays true to the royalty of Malay courts at that time and the rich colour sort of signifies Malacca as the powerful Malay state. Gusti Puteri should have more accessories on her to signify her status as a princess. And perhaps Hang Tuah should have a more masculine colour on him like what the Bendahara is wearing.

Nevertheless, the movie is too long and viewers are put off by the lethargic movement of Gusti Putri. What I meant is that there is a difference between being graceful and slow. Being graceful doesn't mean you have to do everything in slow motion. Also, if some scenes are deleted it won't affect the storyline of the movie I think. Like the scene where Hang Tuah talked about Tuk Mudim or when Sabri Yunus joked about giving 'penampar Arab'. In the latter, the joke lost its purpose when told more than twice.

Gusti Putri did manage to show the theme of this movie; 'Cinta Agung', and she showed this in her willingness to sacrifice everything for Hang Tuah-by 'leaving her people behind' as Gusti Adipati suggested in their telepathic scene. Nevertheless, when Gusti Puteri is left alone with Hang Tuah, their scene is filled with (more) words when actions are more appropriate for two people madly in love. This movie can be a good portrayal of a great love story if only the characters aren't lacking vigour in portraying themselves as great lovers.

And the beginning of the movie, when Gusti Puteri is in the maze, which to me signifies confusion, is contradictory. How can Gusti Puteri be confused when she is very certain that she wants Hang Tuah and is willing to go to him? I also fell asleep in the middle of the movie when Hang Tuah was battling with Gusti Adipati. This should be one of the highlights in this movie but by this scene, I was already bored to death with the irrelevant scenes.

In a nutshell, this movie is too long, too wordy and some scenes are irrelevant to the title 'Puteri Gunung Ledang'.

I was overawed when I saw this movie. It was beyond expectation. A malay movie finally as good as any blockbuster Hollywood movie! Pundits will say that the storyline is not true to history but this movie remind me of the greatest movie of all time "The Titanic" - itself a love story set against a historical incident. As in the movie Titanic, the storyline is fictional though based on legendary malay figures. Though the movie could have been improved somewhat overall it is the greatest malay movie of all time. The opening intro of Hang Tuah was commendable, however I feel the character could have been developed more to show his silat prowess and mystique in the malay community. Tiara Jacqueline is perfect as the princess. She is drop dead gorgeous. Though there are censorship limitations nevertheless I felt more could have been explored in her love story with Hang Tuah.

Syabas Puteri Gunung Ledang, I salute you.

As kids back home in Malaysia, we were told of legendary warriors, magical princesses, powerful kings, mysterious places, epic battles, and curses which made us shiver in the night. And no other tale combines these elements more effectively than the story of the legendary Princess of Mount Ledang and the Malaccan empire. So, with a deep story already written, throw in a solid cast, with an explosive budget... what could possibly go wrong? Well, quite a bit, actually. But before we get into that, let's get into what's good about the movie. For one, the expensive production is really evident from the movie - the props, the picture quality, the setting, the sounds. On the surface, Puteri Gunung Ledang (PGL) is a real visual treat, and is a nice portrayal on how the Malaccan empire back in those times. The story is told rather well, and it is interesting to see the mythology in full graphic detail, with some pretty good storytelling across the board.

A bloated production, however, doesn't quite make this movie what it could - and should - have been. The movie opens up with M. Nasir as Admiral Hang Tuah, the legendary Malaccan warrior, bringing a couple of bandits to justice. This was an excellent opener. The story then begins with the royal expedition between two great empires. For the first 30 minutes, i was hooked and impressed - the fight scenes, backdrops, beautifully handled shots, and interesting dialogue; at that point, i was convinced that this could possibly be a great movie. However, the momentum just breaks off completely, and as the story drags to the two-and-a-half hour mark, my interest slowly wanes off into boredom.

So, what's wrong with it? How could they mess up such brilliant opening sequences? It's mainly the storytelling. The opening sequences laid out set piece after set piece, leading viewers to believe that this could lead to a powerful climax.. but.. the climax is just unsatisfying and ultimately somewhat predictable. True, some of us know the story already, but really, we were looking for the execution to have that extra ZEST. The buildup is long and draggy, and the final scenes are unexciting and lifeless.

My biggest gripe with the movie,is the actual love story itself. Yes, we all know that PGL is basically a love story. So why don't we feel the intensity of this love? The writing and direction hardly makes us care for the couple, and we never truly feel the deep emotion and sacrifice which they go through. It's just running around, and trading well-written poetry. Furthermore, the portrayal of the empires seem a bit weak and not as powerful as we were led to believe.

All that said, there are some notable performances throughout the movie. M Nasir excels superbly as Hang Tuah, and plays his part out superbly. The sultan of Malacca, as well as the Queen, is played exceptionably well, too. Tiara Jacquelina was okay, but she was hampered by mediocre dialogue. The only problem I have with these characters isn't the acting, but rather the overall script - most of them weren't really portrayed with enough depth to make us care for them.

Overall, I am quite disappointed with the movie. Given the production budget, list of superb actors, and great background plot, this would have been a surefire hit. Instead it misses the mark, having a dragged-out, unsatisfying story, relying on the fat production to work out its magic. Still, like I mentioned, I have faith that if someone could pick up where this movie left off, and improve these crucial areas, this could be a great movie (and in fact, I was told the theatrical play is much better, which is a good sign). As a movie, however, PGL isn't all that good. I would still recommend the movie for everyone, just to learn on the myth itself, but don't expect the legendary love epic that will blow you away.

Puteri Gunung Ledang was better than I expected however I felt that they could have edited it a bit more since it seemed quite draggy. The beautiful Tiara Jacquelina looked a bit "forced" during some scenes but overall, an average performance. M. Nasir's acting shocked me as I didn't expect much from him. The concept of the fighting scenes could have been done and explained better as well. Sophia Jane put on a good performance -- they should have given her more lines instead of standing around looking pretty. I don't have anything to rave about the "Sultan of Malacca" however the kid who played the Crown Prince is adorable. I ended up in tears so do bring along a packet of tissue if you're as sensitive and emotional as I am ;)

Saw this during the Stockholm Film Festival and it was stated this was Malaysias biggest film budgetwise ever. As such, it is an artistic trainwreck.

Those interested in romance and scenery will receive ample doses of scenes with incredibly long, drawn-out, pompous dialogue. This all fails to raise even an eyebrow. Sorry, no points for costumes.

Those interested in action will get two short and silly displays of either "Silat" (No, no novelty points) or a painful Crouching Tiger-inspired swordfight with pyrotechnics.

Best wishes to the Malaysian film industry, hoping they will try an original concept or at least a decent screenplay next time.

Now, that's what we aim to achieve for a Oscar best foreign film.... The movie begins rather symbolically, and yet when it conflicts and climaxes the feature of both (or 3) kingdoms, malacca as Islam and majapahit as buddhist / hindu (the princess doing yoga, no head covering (tudung)). I love the condition-stating scene, and the whole love story is conveyed under quite a conservative expression. No doubt the plot develops rather slowly and a little too excessive, but the director has to ensures the whole plot matures before moving to the next sequence. After all, this story is quite a complex one.... Great music! especially bagaikan sakti from Siti Nurhaliza and M. Nasir

i was disappointed. i very much wanted to like this film as i'd like to hope high for Malaysian films. first the good - m nasir was very good. he met my expectation and handled a tedious script to his very best. sofia jane was excellent. if the stories that jaquelina instructed the removal of lots of jane's scenes are true (to take out screen "competition"... jaquelina co-produced this with her husband) then it is regrettable. it's just a rumor, but one does wonder why an excellent performer and performance ended up so maligned. moving on, the production values are all excellent. great set, nice cinematography, nice costumes... editing style was fine, though the decision to drag it out to 145 minutes was certainly ill-chosen.

now the bad. tiara jaquelina was really not fit to play this role. she is so limited, so one-dimensional and so wooden. she doesn't exude the grace nor the natural beauty demanded of the role, nor does she poses a voice (a bit croaky, isn't it?) to perform lengthy verses of spoken word poetry kinda dialogue and voice over. inevitable that she was the lead actress but deeply, deeply flawed decision for the film.

poor characterisation. didn't feel for them all. m nasir tries and succeeds somewhat to elicit a response from me but the rest of the leading cast are all cardboards. i'll blame the scriptwriter for this. just too much screen time for everyone but the film doesn't work hard enough to develop character, narrative and a love for the world. it's so easy already because everything's in place: great set, great story, great characters. in the end it just became a bad tiara star vehicle.

that's why i'm so disappointed.

I bought the Puteri Gunung Ledang (PGL) VCD last week and was excited to watch Malaysia's biggest budget movie. I have some comments and opinions on the movie:

Good cinematography. The view and scenery in the movie was spectacular and beautifully done. The harbor, lake, river and forest scenery was superbly done. This is something to me that's up to international standards. The leaves falling down on the rock scene like something from a Hollywood Fantasy story.

There seems to be confusing 'flashback' scene in the movie. Why not have something like the 'usual' blurry effect before the reminiscing scenes as indicator to the audience what's going on in the story? It could actually help the viewer differentiate the past and present scene in the movie.

The costume and props was also praiseworthy as it reflects the culture and differences of the races. Some of the dialogue was poetic, portraying true Malay wisdom in usage of proverbs in conversation.

The fighting scene at the market displayed one of the best Silat Silat (Malay Martial Art) I've seen in years. Excellent job was done by the choreographer in charge. (Could be made better without the exaggerated stunts). The scene where Hang Tuah and the Jawa Gusti Adipati fights in the 'mental realm' was cool but looked like something from Zhang Yimou's movie.

The legendary love story between the princess and Hang Tuah was not actually developed. I for one did not understand how the princess fell in love with Hang Tuah. (Except for the kick-flower-in-the-face scene).

Overall, in my opinion, this movie is a commendable effort by the local Malaysia Film industry. Keep up the good work!

I can be considered involved in the production of this movie. If you listen closely to the music of the movie, you will find the strings sound are real, not some cheap MIDI sound like most movies from Malaysia are using. I'm one of the violinists in there. Anyway, I am right now studying in New York, I recorded the original score right before I came here. I long to watch this movie since I walked out from the studio. So I asked my mom to send me the VCD of this movie. After finally watching this movie, I was quite happy about the seriousness of the production in a Malaysian film. However, I have never liked to watch Malaysian movies (dominated by Malay language films), because of its slow and meaningless pace. It is sad to say that this hasn't changed a bit in PGL, which I think is the greatest pity. (Even though this movie is directed by a Chinese!!) The movie could be shortened to 2 hours --- if not one and a half --- if the hyper-slow parts were being changed into a somewhat reasonable pace. But overall, I would like to say that I'm happy to see Malaysians try to make this movie a jump start (if it is) for the oh-so-rotten Malay movie scene. Like the another review, I feel the same that some elements like action (I don't like to use the word violence) could be enhanced, it could be better. Those elements are hanging in the middle of nowhere in this film. In fact, I think this issue might be caused by the strict censorship system (if there is a "system") in Malaysia. If we Malaysians want to push the film industry further to the world, PLEASE, the censorship board should reconsider the poor censorship system average that flows from time to time and, PLEASE, give filmmakers a bigger space in creativity. More budget and more money doesn't promise better movies!! Artistic quality is the most most crucial element in making a great movie!!

I am totally disappointed on some Malaysian who look down to this movie. Obviously they are more interested on seeing handsome male actors and beautiful damsel in distress Hollywood actress than the movie itself.

I adore Tiara's part as Puteri Gusti as she is more suitable with the part. They appear like a stick is because they are royalty. And they are supposed to be like that! (I mean, polished) Can you imagine a bubbly and clumsy princess with no sense of grace. She even had to do hard work to be like a royalty!

The film is satisfying since this is the first malay film I've seen in the cinema.

However, the language held a mild usage of old Malay. But most Malaysian wont understand them if they put all of them like prosa tradisional in malay literature text book.

Sofia Jane who plays as Tun Teja makes a good impression as a jealous wife. However the sultan is so cynical to me. (Especially the scene where the camera focused on his teeth..... .... ....)

The bad part is the leaf scene. The person who plays as Orang Kaya had a bad sense of imagination. His eyes don't actually follows when the leaf fall on the ground.

However, the movie don't show much of the people at Java. I know that Majapahit is a great country at that time. But the movie shows little on that.

The fighting scene with the eclipse is the obvious flaw in the movie and what the use of the huge boulder? I was wondering if they decide to clone Stonehenge for all the sudden.

Last and not least, the English subtitle in the cinema. I confess that the person had bad sense of literature. Like the curse of 'Memuntahkan Darah' translated as 'vomiting blood'. It is true that a person would be cursed when seeing the princess but logically, they should put 'death' instead.

Through lots of version of Puteri Gunung Ledang that I've read. There was a version that says the Sultan's wife is dead and he have to find another wife and wanted a wife that is more different than average princess. Thus he chooses the princess of Mount Ledang. and there was a part where he didn't try to kill his son and refuse the offer of marrying her.

The flying keris is cool! and the part where Gusti change her appearance to an old lady with gloomy background. It suits the scene!

The silat scene at the beginning of the movie really fascinates me. It was less than what I've expected. The sounds, the choreography was magnifique!! I always see in most malay movie which had dumb kung fu acts with lousy sound effect. To be honest, it was wonderful than Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

But it lasted until the fighting eclipse scene. It was disappointing.

I am expecting more when they had some epic movie in future. I was wondering if they might interested on making the Langkawi famous myth about Mahsuri.

I am agree that Malaysian movie industry is starting to bloom and they should have spent more time on perfecting their skills on catching the scene and put them perfectly in story lines and actors and actress than focusing on budgets, make ups and stupid computer generated scenes.... they wont work... honestly.

Finally, we can see Malay film that is good in quality.

I thought this movie was a good effort to move the Malaysian movie industry forward. Yes, it was abit slow paced, but at least it wasn't one of those stereotypical movies you had in the mid 90's. What I'm irritated about is the fact that you keep mentioning the fact that the bad movies are made by MALAY people and the movies are dominated by MALAY people. Whats your problem against the Malays? You're supposed to comment about the movie, no one cares about your involvement in the film,the fact that you're one of the musicians (big huge freakin deal) plus you're being a pure racist because you keep bringing up the point that despite the fact that the movie is made by a Chinese, its still slow moving. Are you trying to imply that it should have been better because it was made by a Chinese and if it was directed by a Malay , it would have sucked?! The oh-so rotten Malay movie scene? You mean MALAYSIAN movie scene don't you? Because other than Malay movies being made in Malaysia, we sure don't hear about Chinese people making movies in Malaysia, or do you? Why do you point out at the Malays so much? If you're going to post a comment about a movie, keep it real. No one wants to read your stupid racist comments or your minor involvement in the movie. Get over the race issue already and GROW up!
