爲「漢麗寶公主」勤背書 林美芬轉戰舞台
幾乎每個舞台劇演員都有一個登上國家文化宮(Istana Budaya)的夢,去年,連國語都不太會説的林美芬卻演了5場《Takhta 3 Ratu》舞台劇中漢麗寶公主(Hang Li Poh)的角色。今年,她擠下蘇盈之主演2月13至21日演出的馬來舞台劇《Zombie La La La》,正式成爲本地華人圈第二人入主馬來舞台劇。
比賽之後,我參與了ntv7電視劇,如《時光電台》、《懼場》及《分身乏術》等作品的演出,可是當新人倍出,我的邀約就少了。這期間我試過轉到幕後,Astro的福建戲劇《家緣》就是我冩我公公的故事,也試過回家幫忙做了3年生意,但蘇盈之的一通電話,讓我再度回到了娛樂圈。
去年原是蘇盈之主演《Takhta 3 Ratu》舞台劇中漢麗寶公主的角色,但因爲檔期關係,她有5場戲沒辦法出演,所以推薦了我去面試。我的國語其實很差,面試的時候都説英語,導演都快看不 下去,但我真的很想得到這個角色,所以從下午拿到劇本開始一直背書,到晚上才面試,導演聽了,決定給我機會,我很感恩。
整個科系只有我一個華人,還是最老的一個,哈哈!不過其他同學都對我這個「kakak」很好。一開始,別人用一小時做好的功課,我要花4小時,一字 一字地翻譯和整理語法,但同學們都知道我的程度較差,平日也會借我重點筆記。我印象最深刻的是有一次考試,那一段類似古文的台詞我背了很久,在考試的時候還是忘了後半段!同學們幫我向老師求情,讓我有第二次重考的機會,可是我又在台詞的部分「卡住」,當時同學們在台下比手劃腳地給我貼士,真的讓我很感動!
籌備《Zombie La La La》時有何趣事?《Takhta 3 Ratu》開會時有五六十人,説話的速度又快,有時候我會聽不懂。可是時間很緊迫,不可能停下來解釋給我聽,幸好之後其他演員會解釋給我聽。這一次雖然我 的國語比之前好,但偶爾還是會跟不上。我記得有一次導演開玩笑説我是「sengkuang」,我以爲他是在吃沙爹要配料沙葛,引來哄堂大笑!後來他們告訴 我,是笑我糊裡糊塗、萌呆的意思。
在馬來舞台劇這一行漸漸被關注的初期,我的心情有點微妙,感覺像是被中文娛樂圈拋棄了,但蘇盈之跟我説「馬來領域其實是一塊寶地」,讓我改觀不少。 我中學畢業後曾想過專攻舞台劇,但父母認爲沒前途,所以不讓我繼續,之後我就只有在教會的舞台劇上演出,就此累積了一些小基礎。其實我沒想過接下來的發展 會是怎樣,我才剛入行舞台劇,有很多部分需要加強進修。現在因爲唸書住在學院的宿捨,所以拍戲的檔期很難安排,所以就順其自然吧!
不能説野心,但我期望有一天我能冩、演另一版本的「漢麗寶公主」。在《Takhta 3 Ratu》中的漢麗寶公主,是一名從國外來到馬六甲,爲了獲得蘇丹的心而努力獻慇勤的人。而再更之前2004年左右,國家文化宮也有過一出漢麗寶公主的舞台劇,但那段冩的卻是漢麗寶公主對蘇丹不忠,出軌的故事。漢麗寶公主是故事裡華人的縮影,我爲這個角色做考究的時候,發現漢麗寶公主不過是個離鄉背井來到 大馬後,愛上蘇丹也愛上這片土地的女人,所以我希望有機會能改編這段歷史故事,去詮釋我心中的漢麗寶公主。

《山打根八號娼館》
阿崎婆自小被賣到南洋沙巴當雛雞,年邁回到日本。其口述歷史造就了山崎朋子的名著《山打根八號娼館》。靠著一位小學四年級的女孩,文盲的她一直和山崎朋子保持通信,女孩的稚拙的筆跡飽含童心,寫著老奶奶身邊大大小小的趣事。
What about the Oscars?
CJ Entertainment is in charge of overseas sales and the marketing of The Garden of The Evening Mists, touted as Malaysia’s most well-funded film to date (said to be RM20 million), jointly produced by Astro Shaw and HBO Asia. Asked about Malaysia’s chances of securing an Oscar nomination with The Garden of The Evening Mists, Astro Malaysia Bhd group CEO Henry Tan would only say what is important is that the group continues to strive for excellence in content production. The movie received nine nominations (including for best film, best director and best screenplay, and best actress for Malaysian actress Angelica Lee) at the 56th Golden Horse Film Festival and won the award for Best Makeup and Costume Design.
Tan noted, though, that Taiwanese-American Oscar-winning film director and screenwriter Ang Lee said he “hopes to see more films like this” after watching the film in Taipei.
“Both the book and the film are high-quality works with a strong positive message. I do believe both the book and film will stand the test of time and leave a mark on both Malaysian literature and Malaysian cinema,” says Taiwanese Tom Lin Shu-Yu, who directed the film based on a screenplay by British screenwriter Richard Smith, adapted from Malaysian novelist Tan Twan Eng’s book.
Twan Eng reckons that the film is already a landmark for Malaysia “just based on the scale of the production alone”. “The cast and crew are highly talented and diverse, coming from all regions of the world. The production values are world-class. The film looks lush and gorgeous. It focuses on a turbulent period of our history, and Tom Lin has created a sensitive, nuanced, restrained film,” he tells The Edge.
Why should policymakers pay attention to the rise in the Asian narrative on the global stage and how can they help people in the creative arts?
“Artists need time to master their craft, and it’s important that policymakers protect the seedlings of creativity from global capitalism and consumerism. For example, Korea has policies protecting Korean Cinema by ordering that movie theatres play at least 50% local films in their theatres. If it was all up to the theatres, they would only play what sells most, but culturally and artistically, it may become hard for that nation to improve,” Lin tells The Edge, noting that education is also key in ensuring that youths are on the same page in terms of the value that the creative arts bring to the nation and society.
“If we are to catch the attention of the West, we will need support from the entire country, and at the same time, the country itself needs to promote all the goods — whether it’s literature, cinema, food, music — that are local to the international scene. Like Parasite again, it’s getting the attention it has because it’s a good film, but also, because of how Koreans have risen their image in the hearts of minds of the West, and this takes an entire nation to achieve,” adds Lin.
While one can argue that Parasite “may not be Boon Joon Ho’s strongest film”, Lin notes that “it has gotten him furthest into the mainstream in the west”.
“If Parasite was made 10 to 15 years ago, it might not reach where it is now… this wouldn’t have been possible if not for the whole K-Pop culture getting into the West first,” Lin says. (The Edge Malaysia,November 10, 2020)
Boosting The Exports of Malaysia's Creative Content Through Partnership
MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 2017, KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and China Intercontinental Communication Co.,Ltd (CICC) marked a momentous occasion today by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote trade of creative contents between Malaysia and China. The MoU signing was witnessed by Minister II of International Trade and Industry (MITI) YB Dato' Seri Ong Ka Chuan.
MATRADE was represented by its Chief Executive Officer Dato' Dzulkifli Mahmud and CICC by its Vice President Mr. Jing Shuiqing.
The MoU aims to strengthen communication and cooperation between media organisations in China and Malaysia by leveraging on China's One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative. The MoU will see MATRADE and CICC working together to link industry players from both countries to embark on exchange of creative content (such as films, documentaries and television shows, among others) and business matching (through MATRADE's International Sourcing Programme) for the purpose of driving trade of creative contents for both nations. The collaboration will strengthen the existing professional ties between both countries and could also initiate the sharing of experience, knowledge and best practices with China.
According to Dato' Dzulkifli, the MoU is an important step forward for both parties to promote cultural exchange through each other's media channels. "This partnership will facilitate and coordinate the communications between media players of both countries. With this partnership, Malaysian media can rest assured that they have a partner in China to assist them in areas such as co-productions," he said.
The Malaysian government has identified creative content as one of the Entry Point Projects (EPP) under the Economic Transformation Programme to enhance capacity, capability and competency of the industry in producing world-class content and additionally making Malaysia a regional hub for digital content.
In the EPP, the creative content industry is expected to contribute RM3.04 billion to Gross National Income (GNI) and produce more than 10,000 jobs by year 2020. The industry is also targeted to have an annual growth rate of 20 percent.
In the latest figures recorded in 2015, creative content contributed RM9.55 billion and represents 6.4 percent of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP). To date, Malaysia has exported RM6.8 billion worth of creative contents.
With China as one of Malaysia's biggest trading partners, the MoU sets to further strengthen China's and Malaysia's relationship by leveraging on the OBOR Initiative, which is a development strategy and framework of China's government to boost connectivity and cooperation between China and the rest of the world.
MATRADE as Malaysia's export promotion agency provides various export facilitation such as market intelligence, trade advisory, export promotion and capacity building programme for Malaysian companies. The agency, under MITI, has trade offices in Beijing (beijing@matrade.gov.my), Shanghai (shanghai@matrade.gov.my), Guangzhou (guangzhou@matrade.gov.my) and Chengdu (chengdu@matrade.gov.my) that functioned to help Malaysian companies penetrate into the China market.

Creative Industries Policy in Malaysia 2009
Malaysia’s DIKN document issued in 2009 is to date the only policy document that defines and
articulates a creative industries policy for Malaysia. When it was launched the DIKN was touted to
“empower the creative industries as a whole based on creativity and innovation, thus contributing to a high income economy and to uphold the nation's cultural heritage” (Yatim, 2011). DIKN divides the creative industries into three categories: Creative Multimedia, Creative Cultural Arts, and Creative Cultural Heritage (see Table 1 below). Whereas the DCMS model does not differentiate between different sectors, the DIKN acknowledges that there are technological, creative, and platform differences between the three. It also makes explicit the emphasis given to digital media which has become a focus of government agencies, and the only creative industries sector targeted explicitly in the 2015 Budget (“Bajet 2015,” 2014).
The twin emphasis in the DIKN is on the economic contribution of the creative industries and on
mainstreaming intellectual property. Expanding employment opportunities is emphasised as is the need to find markets overseas and export cultural products. According to the DIKN document, Malaysia’s creative industries contributed only 1.27% to national income, less than half of what comparable countries record (DIKN quotes figures of 3%-5%). Clearly Malaysia finds itself in a position of relative disadvantage in terms of the size, contribution, status, strength, and visibility of the creative industries in comparative terms.

Malaysia’s creative industry contribution to GDP remains low
by S BIRRUNTHA
MALAYSIA’S creative industry contribution towards the GDP stands at 2% for the last five years, according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DoSM).
Chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said at the moment, the industry contributes approximately 2% towards the GDP and employs around one million people.
He added that while the industry’s exports maintained its contribution at 0.2%, the contribution of employment decreased to 5.7% in 2019.
“Looking at the statistics, we notice all the main indicators show a very small contribution of the creative industry towards the Malaysian economy.
“However, we do believe there is some room for improvement to increase the industry’s overall contribution towards the country’s GDP,” he said in a virtual presentation titled “Overview of the Arts and Culture Sector of Malaysia and its Future Outlook” at the Creative Economy Forum 2021.
Mohd Uzir noted that while the creative industry is significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is showing signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2020 (3Q20) with a growth percentage of 31.7%.
He said to further boost the industry, support from all parties including government agencies and the private sector is needed to contribute to its development.
He also said a satellite account for the country’s creative industry is now being compiled by the DoSM to further monitor its growth.
According to Mohd Uzir, the main contributions of the creative industry towards the economy are the multimedia industry with 50.7%, followed by the culture and art industry (49.2%).
Over the past years, the creative economy has made a significant contribution to world trade as world exports of creative goods increased to US$509 billion (RM2.11 trillion) in 2015 from US$208 billion in 2002.
In 2019, the country’s exports of creative goods were at RM220 million, comprising items such as printed book,brochures, printed materials, pictures and photographs. Mohd Uzir said among the countries involved in the exports of creative goods are India, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, Turkey and Poland.
In terms of imports, Malaysia has imported creative goods amounting to RM367 million in 2019. The goods include printed materials such as leaflets, printed book brochures, paintings, pastels and drawings.
Meanwhile, speaking in a live address during the forum, Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said the threat of Covid-19 continues to loom over the creative industry, as the country races to find a solution to end this pandemic.
He added that until then, the creative industry needs maximum support to pivot, adapt and evolve.
“The silver lining to our current predicament is that it has also presented an opportunity for the industry to take the necessary steps to become more resilient and robust to face future challenges.
“We needed to find ways beyond financial subsidies and tie-over measures, to enable artists and creative enterprises to become self-sustaining and realise their potential of becoming significant income-generators for Malaysia’s economy,” he noted.
The Creative Economy 2021 Forum, jointly hosted by MyCreative Ventures Sdn Bhd, Cultural Economy Development Agency (Cendana) and Riuh, was held virtually via Zoom Webinar yesterday.
The forum brought together the arts, donors and businesses, for discussions and conversations on priorities, as well as opportunities to create a vibrant, ambitious and sustainable creative economy for Malaysia.
MyCreative, which also includes Cendana, was given the mandate to implement and carry out the short-term National Economic Recovery Plan (Penjana) for the creative industries, through a variety of schemes and initiatives such as live event grants, digital marketing grants, matching investments schemes, fast track and low-interest soft loans, as well as the digital velocity programmes comprising digital marketing and promotion training, connectivity assistance and advisory services.
A total of 1,745 applications worth RM73 million for various measures from the stimulus package are currently being reviewed by MyCreative.
In the meantime, Cendana has approved 234 applications worth about RM3.5 million.
A further 114 applications amounting to RM9.6 million were also approved for distribution to successful applicants under the Penjana for the creative industries.

Murut’s 1930 New York journey going global
KOTA KINABALU: The story of Saudin bin Labutau from Kg Ambual in Keningau who became the first Malaysian – and for that matter from this part of the world – to visit New York in the 1930s and return to Sabah to tell his adventure will be known to the world soon.
Peninsula-based RYE Productions Sdn Bhd, noted for producing television dramas and concerts, has made a documentary on the exploits of the partially blind Murut. It would be shown on History Channel after the official launch in Sabah on Oct. 28 at UMS by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor.
The documentary combines actual footages, dramatised re-enactments of Saudin’s life, including interviews with family members about their grandfather, who is well documented in the 1939 international classic by Agnes Keith, “Land Below The Wind”.
James briefing Hajiji about Saudin while Noreini (left) and Noorhayati look on
The ship left Sandakan for the month-long journey calling at Singapore, Port Klang, Mumbai, Colombo, Capetown, Morocco, and several other ports along the way, before crossing the Atlantic to New York.
Saudin pointing to skyscrapers coming up in New York in 1938. during a talk organised by Martin to New York’s elite, Saudin remarked in Malay that he was surprised to see New Yorkers lived in concrete cages while in the Borneo rainforest, only wild animals lived in cages. – Pic courtesy of the Saudin household.
It was noticed that only Saudin had the special ability to calm Abai, which won him the ticket to travel to the Big Apple at a time when New York ala Wall Street was the “happening capital” of the world. This is what lends the documentary the title “Saudin: The Orang Utan Whisperer”.The documentary is a powerful story of not just the bond that developed between man and animal but also of Saudin’s internal conflicts and observations, especially of adjusting to the shock of being suddenly plucked out of the Borneo rainforest and transplanted into the concrete jungle of New York.
Among the establishments that supported the documentary is the Safari Museum in Kansas, USA, where the iconic work of the Johnsons is stored and Finas.The documentary also received the support of the State Government and Hajiji praised the producers for their extensive research and resolve to put Sabah on the world map through the documentary.
Abai the largest orang utan ever captured alive, who died in New York’s Central Zoo.
Those who were present at the briefing for the Chief Minister at the State Administration Building on Wednesday included producers Noreini Abdul Rahman, Noorhayati Abdul Rahman, Director Muhd Zaili Sulan, Norsina James Julius, a granddaughter of Saudin and James Sarda, Chief Editor of the Daily Express, who has done research on Saudin, Agnes Keith and the Johnsons. — EDITOR(Source: https://sabahbarunews.com)
