To be
honest, this is first time I’ve watched a complete Malay film. Previously, I never
watch a Malays film from beginning until the end. This time, I watched it
completely. I am so surprised that this film is very good in term of settings,
storylines and so on.

Here is the

very guilty and the end he resigns from his post and throws his Taming Sari

We can see
the same conflict happened in today’s society. For example, the lower status
people don’t have their own right to voice out their own opinions and thought. Those who have higher status always overusing their power. Nowadays, as the
citizen, even the beggars also have the rights to voice out their opinions. We
should live in a balanced society.
This is a
nice film and it is worth to watch again.
