Belansungkawa. A Samad Ismail. 24 April 1925-4 Sept 2008.


Pak Samad bukan orang biasa. Sebahagian dari sejarah Singapura dan Malaysia. Wartawan tersohor dan pejuang kemerdekaan tulen. Kehilangan beliau terasa macam kehilangan orang yang sangat dekat. Orang kata, patah tumbuh hilang berganti. Tapi hanya satu Pak Samad. Takkan ada pengganti.

Al-fatihah.

I'M MUSLIM TOO! documentary film is finally out!

I'M MUSLIM TOO!

THURSDAYS (starting 4th Sept 08), 7:30pm, NTV7

SYNOPSIS:
Many see Malaysia as a moderate Islamic country that has found a unique and harmonious balance between religion, secularism and multiculturalism. Zan Azlee decides to learn and find out more about Islam and his own identity as a Malay Muslim. He embarks on a journey to the heartland of Islam, the Middle-East, with nothing but his video camera and a bag full of instant noodles. He meets a brutal heavy metal band in Iran, discovers a Syrian version of Low Yat Plaza in Damascus, hangs out with a couple of Palestinian dudes in a camp in Beirut and learns about sex from a bunch of artists in Jordan.
