Satu Daging, Satu Malaysia*

By admin

(Yours truly as Miss Chic-Kut-Teh 2009)
If you haven’t already been following the hugely popular 15Malaysia, I suggest you go and do that now!
15Malaysia is a project sponsored by P1 WiMAX and produced by Pete Teo with 15 short films by 15 directors. For the next 4 weeks, a short film will be released on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I attended the screening of the films last week and had an opportunity to watch almost all of them (with the exception of Rojak which is still in the final stages) and they all told different type of stories about Malaysia.
We’ve thrown around the term 1Malaysia because our PM hopes to instill a legacy that eradicates race/religion issues. I think Malaysia is a lot like Canada where we don’t exactly have a melting pot of cultures, instead its more like a tossed salad where each ingredient is visibly acknowledged. What I don’t understand is why its such a huge issue for us to get over? For example, why do we still have forms that ask us what our race is? Malay, Chinese, Indian or Other. (I think its redundant when you can usually tell by their name anyways) Then it is followed by a religion question – where every Malay is Muslim anyways (not that they have a choice). I think its so easy to throw around the idea of 1Malaysia, but the actual possibility to make it happen involves a little more than saying it. Especially, when we’re constantly reminded which category we’re supposed to fit in with.
Now, I think its time to listen to the other voices. I read the comments and see how people are proud to be Malaysian and even more proud that something like this has been achieved. Most of them are touched or affected by these films in many ways that transcend ethnicities. We are touched because we are human and we have emotions that make us frustrated, angry, upset, dissappointed, disturbed or even proud. We have to stop pointing out our differences and just enjoy our country together with the good and the bad! 😉
Back to the happy side of things, I had a fabulous time working with director Liew Seng Tat, Mark Teh -who played chicken and Adibah Noor. Although it was a small cameo in this film, it is a real honour to be part of a project as monumental as this! In my opinion, this is probably one of the funniest films of the lot! Love it or hate it? Tell me what you think!
**edit: I was reading some of the comments and I think some people who watch it don’t exactly understand the film as what it is. They are so focused on the little details and have obviously missed the mark of humour. Its a slap-stick comedy, not a serious interpretation of Halal meats. So unfortunately, it won’t exactly cover and highlight every single angle of cooking halal foods nor will it include every single race aside from Chinese Malay and Indian. Or else it wouldn’t be funny right?

    The elegance of a qipao will never go out of style The elegance of a qipao will never go out of style. I always love classic yet modern designs and I love this dress by @khoonhooi_gold x @isetan.cultivation. CNY may be a little more challenging this year but there’s no reason why we can’t bring a smile wherever we go. Thanks for making me look good @arymuzamer 😘.

    Monday Motivation: today felt like a non-stop exer Monday Motivation: today felt like a non-stop exercising day. From skipping to burpees and a 90min yoga session including cleansing breaths to finish. Blink and you’ll miss Dolly doing her best while I was busy trying to concentrate. Time to make dinner and do laundry! So much work, so little time.

    Still not wearing pants. 😂😂 Wearing @jujumel Still not wearing pants. 😂😂
Wearing @jujumellointimates instead. 😊

Looks like the first 2 weeks of January has taken a turn for the worst in Malaysia. Our health system at it’s capacity. Greedy politicians trying to fight for power, so much so our King has been granted Emergency Powers until August. To be honest, all of this hasn’t quite hit me yet, I’ve had a slower start to the year but each step taken has been intentional, from the people I spend my time with to the people I want to work with. 

Life is still not a bed of roses but I don’t mind taking time to pluck the thorns out. I’m clearly still exploring parts of me that I’ve missed for awhile. I’ve had friends from my past telling me that the old Sarah is back again and I’m glad too! I’ve been having such lucid dreams and they’ve been giving me a clearer indication of what I need to work on. (Thank God for @therealashagill’s #DecodingDreams workshop) 

I’m trying to be more accepting of things I cannot change and learning from last year’s situation. If you can, help out a small business, everyone is trying to make a side hustle to make ends meet. We can always be kinder, more compassionate and more loving to those who have less than us. Everyone is fighting a battle that we cannot see. Don’t be so quick to judge.

    Decided to push for a HIIT workout before Malaysia Decided to push for a HIIT workout before Malaysia got the news that we will be having another lockdown. We’re back to MCO status as of Wednesday and if you haven’t learnt from our first MCO, here’s your chance to learn from it again! 😂 This time I’ve got Dolly to look after. 
I don’t think I’ll be wearing pants for awhile either. What are you going to be doing differently this time around? #lockdown #thirdwave #coronavirus
