A slogan for display only. 一个摆美的口号.

"Satu....Malaysia! Satu....Malaysia! Satu....Malaysia!" Nice slogan isn't it? But too bad, to walk this talk is rather hard for the people who shout it out loud. Why i said so? Simple answer, still no equalization applied in certain aspect.

One of the pop singer of Malaysia known as Ah Niu (The cow), recently has self directed a local Chinese movie called "Ice Kacang Puppy Love". The movie hits our local block buster and selling quite well at overseas too. Everyone thought he has made himself a fortune, but the fact is....NO.

Recently he went to Taiwan to promo this movie and showed up in a talk show telling about his experience of directing movie. When the host asking about how was his debt going on for making this movie. He burst out a statement :"At here, i would like to appeal to our government not to tax the 20% of this movie for now"

Yea, i know you who reading this is in shock, same as the host. Ah Niu was born originally at Penang and a truly Malaysian, however his movie has been taxed by his own country due to categorize as foreign language film!

Surprise? A population of over 5 million Chinese living in the country but the government still treat Chinese is a foreign language? Let's put the language topic a side, let's talk about nationality. Ah Niu is Malaysian, so isn't he suppose to get support from the film industry of Malaysia? I'll let you all do the thinking now while watching the video (is in mandarin speaking, sorry no subtitle).

Bo Song La!

一个马来西亚的口号几乎每天都可以在国营电视台听到. 多好的一句口号, 不是吗? 可惜的是, 作得到吗?

本地著名歌星, 阿牛首次自导自演了一部电影名为:"初恋红豆冰". 在大马和海外的票房成绩辉煌, 让大家为他感到骄傲, 也以为他因此而猪笼入水. 很可惜, 事实并非如此.

日前阿牛在台湾宣传自己这部电影时, 在张小燕主持的清谈节目中分享自己的导演经验. 当小燕姐问及他在投资这部电影所遇到的负债问题时, 阿牛说了一句让身为华人的大马人心酸的事实:"在这里呼吁马来西亚政府, 20%的税先不要抽"

读着这篇文章的你应该也在惊讶当中, 主持人张小燕也是如此. 阿牛是土生土长的马来西亚国民. 然而他的电影因为被抽20%就在于里面的内容不是用马来语而列为外语片!

惊奇吗? 一个拥有超过5百万华裔人口的国家, 竟然把华语当成外语来对待. 说得过去吗? 姑且不拿语言来评论, 阿牛是大马人, 不是应该得到大马电影局的支持吗? 我让大家一起看着片段来深思吧!

不爽啦!
