Nasi Lemak: Malaysia

I was never realize that Malaysia had talents like these media people, and they were so eager to send the message to the public...
This was the 2nd time I watch local production movies at cinema, and I was never realize it would be so educational, and the message was so obvious, and Malaysians would only understand what this is all about...
The title was a common local traditional delicacy, name after Nasi Lemak...Which was so localized and it was so close to Malaysians...
The movie was about a cook that help a family get back it's restaurant operation right...Malays appeared, Baba and Nyonya appeared, Indians appeared and even Chinese appeared, it was truly to said 1 Malaysia...
The producer of this movie was from Muar (same with me), I was proud for him, not because his past actions towards government, but his courage of how he produce this movie and sending the message to everyone...
Nasi Lemak, was a purely movie that raises up how he actually loves Malaysia as his home...
Malaysia was multi cultural and multi races country, everyone had the right to voice up what they had said...The foundation of Malaysia raised from 3 different people, and it became Nasi Lemak...
Not to say that I describe my country as nasi lemak, but, it is truly a combination of various of simple spices and ingredients, and it tasted so well, just how Malaysians like nasi lemak...
Nasi, sambal, telur, ayam rendang, ikan bilis and kacang, all these were just simple, but, joining together with all these, it became one of the symbolic must try food in Malaysia, and people loves it the way it taste, so original, and who knows, it was just a combinations of a few simple stuffs...
At first, I though Nasi Lemak was just another movie on expressing stuffs and complains, but, it went out not, and it really breaks my glass when I was watching it...
The message was clear, that we Malaysians had what we had, and we were grew up in this particular land with zero visits of tsunami, tidal waves and stuffs, and we enjoyed what Malaysia actually had...We may not have 4 seasons a year, we may not have big lands like the States, but we have the tropical feel that the others was looking for..We had the biggest flower in the world, we had 2 world heritage, we had wonderful cultural background, and we have beautiful islands to rest on...This was what Malaysia had...
Small Malaysians like me, having dreams that our country would somehow change, but, I would say it right now to remain what Malaysia is having....
Malaysia just celebrated it's Malaysia Day and National Day...I just can't believe that our country had grew so long, and it was still Malaysia like...
I love this movie, not just the creativity and the laughters, because I grew up here as a Malaysian for 20 years, and I was so grateful to what I have right now...Name Wee (the director), last song was about how Malaysia was truly are, and it was true that Malaysians are just like nasi lemak...Without any of the ingredients mentioned above, Malaysia wouldn't be that nice as nasi lemak...
I have a dream, dreaming to Malaysia, that it will continue to grow, no matter how it was, Malaysia is still my home...How round the moon was in the overseas, and nothing beats more than my home, Malaysia, which was just like nasi lemak, making its way through to become a star in Asia and the world...
