The first controversy?

Susuk is not even out yet but it is already criticised for going against Malay culture.

Strangely enough, the scenes of murder and the occult in the trailer are fine, but in the future I must make sure no undead characters wear the inappropriate colour.

tapi betul juga, tivi dan layar malaysia selalu paparkan orang hadiri funeral pakai baju hitam. saya sendiri rasa mahu tegur.

cinematik dan simboliknya, memang hitam tu memamarkan mood sedih. atau mungkin juga sebab resapan dari tivi dan layar barat.

sebenarnya, kalau ikut amalan etika (masuk kelas etiket, nih), harus pakai putih. tapi, jika lihat realitinya pulak, orang sekarang pakai baju ofis saja pi funeral (including me).

Congrats on Susuk, Amir. BTW I hope you've received your certificate which I sent some time ago. Where's mine la? Have you lost my address?

slm,

its not even a 'critic', just a small 'ponder'.. anw:

di indonesia, selalu dibayangkan org ke perkebumian memakai hitam, mengambil budaya kristus indonesia (budaya belanda?) dan juga para muhammadiyah (wahabi) memakai hitam bila ke kawasan kubur. Selalunya org nahdatul ulamak (gol. majoriti islam indonesia, wakil sunnah wa jamaah Indonesia)memakai putih atau apa2 warna, mengambil rujukan daripada adik saya di Surabaya.

di malaysia, warna apa2pun tidak ada masalah (rujuk filem Cinta), langsung hitam itu tidak ada simbolisme terlalu. Hitam selalu disifatkan dengan 'ilmu hitam' kerana ramai penuntut ghaib dan ilmu persilatan secara umumnya menggunakan hitam. Kini, ada juga para alim mewarwarkan hitam itu warna kesayangan Rasulullah dan ramai wanita harus memakai warna 'tidak menaikkan syahwat', malah ada yang menyatakan hitam itu warna 'panji perang' Islam.

What is it with people? Don't they have anything better to criticise? I have seen people wearing colours other than white/black when they go to funerals - they might lack the proper etiquette but that doesn't mean that they are not genuinely mourning for the dead. Point of case, the guy who wears office gear to a funeral - I mean, who has the time to go home, put a new black/white outfit, be caught in a jam, cursing, be in a really nasty mood, and come back to the funeral?

Hey dude!

Just saw SUSUK. Take Tun Dr M's advice. Want to meddle in politics, join a political party-lah!

By the way, CONGRATS!! Great stuff. Too bad most of the Nana Tanjung & Duyung crowd are going to miss the point. You should have had Saiful Apek do a cameo.

And yes, David Teo should be beaten up & confined to a wheel chair. Mamat Khalid went over the edge & suggested the people in the industry shoot him ()in Kala Malam Bulan Mengambang.

When was the last time you saw Khairy, ah?
