Di sinilah hubungan antara estetika, institusi dan pasaran menjadi jelas: filem yang menolak formula komersial bukan sahaja berdepan cabaran bentuk, tetapi juga struktur pengedaran dan dasar yang memusatkan “kebolehpasaran” sebagai ukuran kesahihan.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Skim Wajib Tayang dan logik pasaran sempit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Skim Wajib Tayang (SWT), diperkenalkan pada 2005, dirangka untuk memberi ruang minimum 14 hari tayangan kepada filem tempatan di pawagam komersial. Namun, sejak awal sistem ini dibentuk dengan filem cereka komersial sebagai model utama, dan kriteria kelulusannya secara tersirat berorientasikan potensi kutipan tiket, bukan nilai budaya, pendidikan atau sosial.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Pada 26 Januari 2026, permohonan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Jom Kita Ke Laut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; untuk SWT di bawah FINAS ditolak tanpa sebarang penjelasan rasmi. Ketidakhadiran alasan, seperti yang dibangkitkan sendiri oleh pengarah Zan Azlee dalam podcast BFM pada 27 Januari 2026, menandakan bukan sahaja masalah ketelusan, tetapi juga struktur berat sebelah terhadap dokumentari yang tidak menepati profil “layak pasaran”: tiada bintang popular, tiada formula naratif arus perdana, dan tiada jaminan kutipan pantas.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1qC3-YuUD6eVXLwmAkCzkGnVsr8ntNFcKEpCGwd4pcaJGX4I4AYz_Iu6X6bDd_KpmMuurmLFxuGDA0wdGaHgQPS-kOKIcLeaF_eFyVo0uZGYdcFAFctJuP49R1Z5WhI2czCk4oSV0DMfsDoSeQ0h_fOjofIajtfaBFNyR-_4DPenNuEJP7k10/s1280/jom%20Laut%202.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;720&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; height=&quot;180&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1qC3-YuUD6eVXLwmAkCzkGnVsr8ntNFcKEpCGwd4pcaJGX4I4AYz_Iu6X6bDd_KpmMuurmLFxuGDA0wdGaHgQPS-kOKIcLeaF_eFyVo0uZGYdcFAFctJuP49R1Z5WhI2czCk4oSV0DMfsDoSeQ0h_fOjofIajtfaBFNyR-_4DPenNuEJP7k10/s320/jom%20Laut%202.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Dalam kerangka ini, tiga isu struktur menjadi jelas. Pertama, definisi “filem layak” yang sempit: FINAS dan rangkaian pawagam komersial menilai kelayakan tayangan melalui lensa keuntungan 14 hari pertama. Syarat tambahan seperti keperluan mencapai 15% kapasiti penonton dalam tiga hari pertama untuk kekal ditayangkan berfungsi hampir sebagai hukuman awal terhadap dokumentari sosial yang secara tabi’i membina penonton secara perlahan melalui &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;word of mouth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;, rangkaian pendidikan dan komuniti.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Kedua, pertembungan kepentingan komersial dengan nilai budaya.

Kisah Orang Asli, Bajau, Kadazandusun, pekerja migran, pelarian dan kelompok &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;stateless&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; jarang dilihat sebagai mempunyai nilai jual yang memadai. Akibatnya, komuniti yang kurang kuasa beli dan representasi politik ini hampir tidak pernah muncul sebagai protagonis di layar besar; apabila mereka muncul sekalipun, filem tentang mereka sukar mendapat sokongan institusi utama.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Dalam konteks ini, penolakan SWT terhadap &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Jom Kita Ke Laut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; bukan isu prosedur semata-mata, tetapi simptom sistem yang mengaitkan kebolehpasaran jangka pendek dengan kesahihan budaya.

Walaupun terdapat beberapa detik pengiktirafan—seperti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;M for Malaysia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; yang dipilih mewakili negara ke Anugerah Akademi—struktur edaran dan penilaian dasar masih cenderung menganggap dokumentari sebagai bentuk yang boleh diketepikan jika mengganggu logik kutipan tiket.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Reaksi produksi Fat Bidin dan Kuman Pictures terhadap kegagalan mendapatkan sokongan SWT mendedahkan jurang ini. Mereka melancarkan kempen “Jom Kita Ke Panggung”: satu inisiatif pra-jualan tiket, penggemblengan tajaan korporat dan NGO untuk membawa pelajar ke pawagam, serta pembinaan penonton melalui aktivisme akar umbi. Usaha ini menunjukkan bahawa pembikin dokumentari tidak boleh bergantung kepada jaring keselamatan kerajaan; mereka terpaksa membina ekosistem penonton sendiri dan mengukur kejayaan melalui impak sosial dan pendidikan, bukan semata-mata prestasi hari pertama tayangan.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Strategi ini menzahirkan satu paradoks. Walaupun dokumentari bergantung pada rangkaian alternatif untuk terus hidup, struktur dasar masih menempatkan genre ini di pinggir, seolah-olah ia tidak perlu diintegrasikan secara serius dalam citra sinema nasional. Ketiadaan mekanisme penilaian yang mengutamakan nilai budaya jangka panjang—misalnya sebagai dokumen rujukan untuk dasar mengenai &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;statelessness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;, pendidikan sivik atau kajian etnografi menjadikan dokumentari tentang komuniti “tidak selesa” ini sentiasa berisiko rendah dari segi legitimasi institusi.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Pasaran, kesahihan, dan komuniti stateless&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Kesan paling ketara daripada struktur ini ialah penggandaan ketidakterlihatan komuniti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;stateless&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;. Dalam wacana awam, mereka sering muncul sebagai “masalah keselamatan”, “mangsa” atau sekadar statistik; dalam sinema arus perdana, mereka jarang sekali menjadi subjek utama, dan lebih kerap hadir sebagai latar eksotik kepada naratif majoriti. Apabila filem seperti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Jom Kita Ke Laut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; cuba mengembalikan naratif kepada mereka sendiri, ia berdepan sistem yang menilai kelayakan tayangan melalui kriteria yang komuniti ini hampir mustahil penuhi: kuasa beli tinggi, daya tarikan bintang, dan naratif yang mudah dihadam.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Archivo, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Di sinilah hubungan rapat antara pasaran dan citra nasional menjadi nyata. Apabila “nilai pasaran” dijadikan kayu ukur utama keabsahan budaya, komuniti seperti Bajau Laut bukan sahaja dikecualikan daripada hak kewarganegaraan rasmi, tetapi juga daripada hak untuk diwakili secara adil di layar sinema tempatan.

Bajau Laut atau “Sea Gypsies” yang mendiami perairan Semporna, Laut Sulu dan Laut Sulawesi bukan sahaja berdepan peminggiran sosial tetapi juga status tanpa kewarganegaraan yang menafikan akses asas kepada pendidikan formal, kesihatan, pekerjaan sah, dan pengiktirafan hak asasi. Di Pulau Omadal, daripada kira-kira 300 orang kanak-kanak, hanya sekitar 50–57 dapat bersekolah di Iskul Sama diLaut Omadal, sebuah sekolah alternatif yang dikendalikan NGO sejak 2015; salah seorang pengarah junior filem ini, Bilkuin Jimmysali, ialah graduan Iskul yang kini mengajar semula sebagai guru kecil. Latar ini penting: dokumentari ini tidak berkisar tentang “kemiskinan eksotik” di pinggir negara, tetapi tentang subjek tanpa negara yang hidup dalam zon perundangan dan gambaran nasional yang kabur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 18pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 17pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Dari kamera memerhati kepada kamera dimiliki&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Secara metodologi, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Jom Kita Ke Laut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; menandakan peralihan yang jelas daripada mod &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;observational&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;expository&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; kepada bentuk &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;participatory&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; yang diperluas. Projek ini berakar pada bengkel perfileman anjuran Fat Bidin dengan kerjasama Iskul Sama diLaut Omadal pada awal 2025, yang melatih belia pulau bukan semata-mata untuk menghasilkan “kandungan”, tetapi untuk menguasai literasi media sebagai kemahiran survival abad ke-21. Daripada bengkel itu, tiga peserta, Bilkuin, Shima dan Didi dipilih sebagai pengarah junior, dibimbing kru profesional tetapi diberi kamera, latihan asas, dan kuasa menentukan apa yang hendak dirakam. Mereka tidak berperanan sebagai “fixer” tempatan atau “pemberi maklumat budaya” yang membantu pengarah luar; mereka ialah pengkarya bersama, subjek yang bernaratif dan pemilik pandangan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhmP-6N4Du1aBxm5_JIzPHLgdAhTXM_JVn8Ix4sMy0qx_1-6U0xibRO9um31sU9QkqagQ40S5P5HtwyOueskAv1ggBgQeiDiO5g6cf2d9glPgyAsJwgi3HlV0yHQoWNf5gFmoK8PUW6V46BGgqpZcHbJLiXEKrvFckU_HL0xsD0OR-7YDYhQB/s1280/Jom%20Kita%20Ke%20Laut.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;531&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; height=&quot;133&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhmP-6N4Du1aBxm5_JIzPHLgdAhTXM_JVn8Ix4sMy0qx_1-6U0xibRO9um31sU9QkqagQ40S5P5HtwyOueskAv1ggBgQeiDiO5g6cf2d9glPgyAsJwgi3HlV0yHQoWNf5gFmoK8PUW6V46BGgqpZcHbJLiXEKrvFckU_HL0xsD0OR-7YDYhQB/s320/Jom%20Kita%20Ke%20Laut.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Dalam kerangka teori Bill Nichols, majoriti dokumentari institusi Malaysia beroperasi dalam mod &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;expository&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; dengan suara narator berwibawa yang “menerangkan” realiti atau mod &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;observational&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;, yang berpura-pura tidak campur tangan sambil mengekalkan jarak voyeuristik.

Dokumentari pelancongan atau etnografi lazimnya mengeksotikkan Bajau Laut: anak-anak disuruh melompat ke laut demi “shot” yang cantik, kemiskinan dijadikan latar dramatik, dan komuniti dibingkai sebagai masalah keselamatan atau objek meraih belas kasihan. Di sini, prestasi persembahan di hadapan kamera lahir daripada kehendak subjek sendiri; mereka bercakap tentang impian untuk memperbaiki kehidupan, tentang cabaran penyalahgunaan dadah dalam komuniti, dan tentang harapan mereka sebagai individu yang sedar struktur yang menindas, bukan sebagai mangsa bisu.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Dalam tradisi teori &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;gaze&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; feminis dan pascakolonial, persoalan “siapa yang melihat” dan “siapa yang menjadi objek pandangan” menentukan struktur kuasa perwakilan.

Sebaliknya, ia memberi ruang kepada kegembiraan kecil, gelak tawa, dan cita-cita dalam membina sebuah imej komuniti yang kompleks, bukan katalog kesengsaraan. Dalam konteks ini, estetika “ketidaksempurnaan” berfungsi sebagai kritik terhadap tradisi dokumentari institusi (seperti Filem Negara Malaysia) yang sarat narator autoritatif, visual yang tersusun dan nada didaktik yang memusatkan penerangan, bukan pengalaman.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 18pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 17pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Kedaulatan visual dan etika perwakilan diri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Pendekatan filem ini rapat dengan gagasan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;visual sovereignty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;: hak komuniti, khususnya kelompok asal dan terpinggir, untuk mengawal cara mereka diwakili. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Jom Kita Ke Laut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; membenarkan belia Bajau Laut: menentukan naratif yang mereka mahu tampilkan; menggunakan bahasa dan perspektif sendiri tanpa “suara Tuhan” yang menjelaskan mereka kepada penonton bandar; dan menampilkan kompleksiti watak yang wujud dengan kekuatan, kelemahan, harapan dan kekecewaan tanpa memerangkap mereka dalam stereotaip “primitif”, “tidak beradab” atau “hero teraniaya”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qQQOo545bipTIFecXS3Q1XE8epJzOxvU7i5nFMwo9Zk4aKk99d0-F0ElaMkuIf_xVTQB9NJd289PtGPx2xkttJXcG84o53xZJLW3JayxvZSGKWz9tbTsnkMukE4tnJVNcyqIAI8fmSpl-BSJdiBXY9bzRUePMIM4N1C0PBN6FE_e9ki0SZ8m/s1349/IMG_2932.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1349&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1080&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qQQOo545bipTIFecXS3Q1XE8epJzOxvU7i5nFMwo9Zk4aKk99d0-F0ElaMkuIf_xVTQB9NJd289PtGPx2xkttJXcG84o53xZJLW3JayxvZSGKWz9tbTsnkMukE4tnJVNcyqIAI8fmSpl-BSJdiBXY9bzRUePMIM4N1C0PBN6FE_e9ki0SZ8m/s320/IMG_2932.JPG&quot; width=&quot;256&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Di sini, representasi bukan lagi “keterlihatan” semata-mata.

Soalan ini menjadi tumpuan apabila kita meneliti penerimaan institusi terhadap filem ini.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Dengan cara ini, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Jom Kita Ke Laut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; bukan sahaja menceritakan kehidupan Bajau Laut; ia juga memaparkan batas-batas sinema Malaysia kontemporari dalam mengurus suara yang “sukar dikomersialkan” tetapi sangat penting untuk citra filem nasional yang inklusif.​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Pada akhirnya, kekuatan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Jom Kita Ke Laut: Itui Suli-Suli Bajau!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; terletak pada kesediaannya untuk membiarkan bentuk filem, proses pembikinan, dan agensi subjek saling menguji antara satu sama lain, tanpa mencari kesempurnaan teknikal sebagai jalan mudah kepada “keterwakilan”. Dengan mengalihkan kamera daripada tangan institusi kepada tangan belia Bajau Laut sendiri, filem ini bukan sahaja menukar siapa yang bercakap, tetapi juga bagaimana pengetahuan tentang komuniti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;stateless&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Archivo, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; ini dihasilkan, dirasai, dan ditafsir.

Separuh yang lain bermula apabila karya tersebut keluar daripada ruang etika dan estetika, lalu berdepan dengan sistem yang menentukan siapa dan cerita apa yang layak muncul di layar nasional. Di sinilah persoalan berubah daripada bagaimana sebuah dokumentari dihasilkan kepada bagaimana ia diterima atau ditolak oleh struktur pasaran, institusi, dan dasar kebudayaan negara. Bahagian seterusnya meneliti pertembungan ini, dan apa yang didedahkannya tentang batas-batas ekosistem dokumentari Malaysia hari ini.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Pernahkah kau bermimpi, seketika berada di tempatku : http://sultanmuzaffar.blogspot.com

Pendekatan naratif dwi-tone kami garapkan: suara PMX yang tegas, penuh iltizam dan hikmah, diselang-seli dengan suara Ejen Ali yang ceria, bersemangat, dan kadang-kadang nakal mengusik.

Inilah kolaborasi sebenar – saling mempercayai dan menghargai kepakaran masing-masing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1wG0Xlbqgn_aFBQ97TUPNr3pG8lQtQrp359WrFuEqBQlw_ViRXiKQzR_0HNIxHAF-rTedX-k6DB-tAAu6QnSQqaPyamc6NOhnj2Dz3moTxluE2R2RBxR0ZrXLr3Z-DZ3mvGtX0oP7vUYJPGH1hL1q8e8i368yDfwbssyeTOm2NSuWxZzwX2ot/s2880/Screenshot%202025-05-04%20at%2015.50.13.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1800&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2880&quot; height=&quot;401&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1wG0Xlbqgn_aFBQ97TUPNr3pG8lQtQrp359WrFuEqBQlw_ViRXiKQzR_0HNIxHAF-rTedX-k6DB-tAAu6QnSQqaPyamc6NOhnj2Dz3moTxluE2R2RBxR0ZrXLr3Z-DZ3mvGtX0oP7vUYJPGH1hL1q8e8i368yDfwbssyeTOm2NSuWxZzwX2ot/w640-h401/Screenshot%202025-05-04%20at%2015.50.13.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Kami tahu, untuk meyakinkan semua (termasuk PMX sendiri), lebih baik kami tunjukkan secara visual bagaimana konsep ini bakal terhasil.

Beberapa kru terakhir mundar-mandir memastikan sudut pencahayaan tepat, kamera fokus, dan mikrofon berfungsi sempurna. Saya sendiri memeriksa teleprompter berulang kali, memastikan teks ucapan yang tertera tidak terlalu padat dan mudah diikuti oleh PMX dalam sekali baca. Kami menyusun skrip di teleprompter dengan jeda yang sesuai supaya intonasi beliau nanti kedengaran tulus dan bersahaja, tidak kaku seperti membaca. Di sisi kamera, sebuah monitor menayangkan wajah Ejen Ali dan Ejen Alicia sebagai panduan arah pandangan mata untuk YAB PM.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Tepat pada jam yang dijanjikan, YAB PM tiba di ruang penggambaran yang kami atur di pejabat beliau.

PMX pun memulakan ucapan beliau dengan lantang; suaranya jelas dan berkarisma seperti biasa. Kata-kata beliau tersusun indah, mengucapkan terima kasih kepada para guru, mengiktiraf jasa mereka dalam membentuk masa depan negara.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Kemudian beliau berhenti sejenak, berpura-pura seakan mendengar respon daripada Ejen Ali yang sebenarnya “berdiri” di sebelahnya. (Sudah tentu, watak animasi itu belum wujud secara fizikal di situ, namun kami semua seolah dapat membayangkan kehadirannya di ruang kosong itu.) PMX mengangguk kecil sambil tersenyum, seolah-olah mengiyakan celoteh Ejen Ali yang hanya beliau sendiri “dengar”, sebelum meneruskan ucapannya kembali.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Adegan itu terasa agak magis. Melihat seorang Perdana Menteri beraksi seolah-olah berbual dengan sahabat animasi halimunan di sisinya – sungguh di luar kebiasaan. Saya menahan rasa cemas bercampur teruja. Kru di belakang kamera pula berdiri tegak tidak berganjak, menahan nafas agar tidak mengganggu rakaman.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Dalam sekelip mata, ucapan selesai disampaikan. “Cut!

PMX telah melakukannya dalam satu &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;take&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt; yang boleh dikatakan agak sempurna!

Akhirnya jurukamera di belakang mengangkat ibu jari tanda kerja kami selesai. Saya sendiri mengukir senyum tidak percaya. Selama ini saya tahu Dato’ Seri Anwar memang orator ulung, tetapi melihat beliau cuba menyesuaikan diri berlakon dengan “rakan” halimunan di set tadi benar-benar mengejutkan. Beliau memberikan komitmen luar biasa meskipun bukan mudah untuk berbicara tanpa dapat melihat individu di sebelah beliau.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQWMGygv5ADC0r43Xa6vGcOQAxuv4cuH4PwJueSMP5nTIxcYuL5pdmxX8Y9Ui0Xo9xQj5qoQLqNyfLl3qefiAAkfPSE4TfLgVVdSnhw1wNB760u0JVshzQ9ikaTUiZoeh9togOy5NfkPigbftEqWJVuqRApntOj0ntHslxa9i-2FPF_rh0nc4/s1350/WhatsApp%20Image%202025-05-15%20at%2023.21.39_cb436c1b.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1350&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1080&quot; height=&quot;466&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQWMGygv5ADC0r43Xa6vGcOQAxuv4cuH4PwJueSMP5nTIxcYuL5pdmxX8Y9Ui0Xo9xQj5qoQLqNyfLl3qefiAAkfPSE4TfLgVVdSnhw1wNB760u0JVshzQ9ikaTUiZoeh9togOy5NfkPigbftEqWJVuqRApntOj0ntHslxa9i-2FPF_rh0nc4/w373-h466/WhatsApp%20Image%202025-05-15%20at%2023.21.39_cb436c1b.jpg&quot; width=&quot;373&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Sebaik selesai, sebelum beredar PMX sempat menepuk bahu beberapa orang daripada pasukan kami sambil mengucapkan terima kasih.

Beban untuk memastikan hasil akhirnya kelihatan meyakinkan terpikul di bahu pasukan WAU, manakala kami di Media Prima dan PMO terus memantau dan memberikan sokongan dari belakang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCtmrrc5kcZMunRmPgu8NvlCx-UYeXCahj9dFeYvxd6QtxSBq9nRSJMdvURK8JCUn2pmuWSfd_o_mBurE5On5XuFy69eX7Jyok6jLACR61nZg_7TdRVkzx_li6n_1_qodYHNNMzDhNtBno2_lzJATz_YoYD8iQYoonSBK5v_fe77LBimKYcrY8/s2228/Screenshot%202025-05-04%20at%2015.07.33.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1255&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2228&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCtmrrc5kcZMunRmPgu8NvlCx-UYeXCahj9dFeYvxd6QtxSBq9nRSJMdvURK8JCUn2pmuWSfd_o_mBurE5On5XuFy69eX7Jyok6jLACR61nZg_7TdRVkzx_li6n_1_qodYHNNMzDhNtBno2_lzJATz_YoYD8iQYoonSBK5v_fe77LBimKYcrY8/w640-h360/Screenshot%202025-05-04%20at%2015.07.33.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Sejurus menerima rakaman mentah video PMX, pasukan WAU terus memulakan kerja-kerja integrasi.

Mereka memastikan nada ucapan PMX tidak lari makna apabila dicantum dengan elemen animasi, dan mesej nasional yang ingin disampaikan kekal jelas. Fokus kami bukan sekadar menghasilkan video yang cantik, tetapi juga memastikan impaknya kuat dari segi emosi. Interaksi PM bersama Ejen Ali perlu mampu membuat penonton tersenyum, terharu, dan bersemangat patriotik – merasai penghargaan kepada guru dan cinta kepada negara serentak.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;Montserrat, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Terus terang, fasa ini memang memenatkan. Namun, fasa inilah yang paling memberikan kepuasan. Sedikit demi sedikit, melihat dua dunia itu bersatu di skrin ibarat menyaksikan impian menjadi nyata.

Video ucapan Hari Guru kolaborasi Ejen Anwar dan Ejen Ali ini dilancarkan serentak di platform rasmi media sosial YAB Perdana Menteri, Pejabat Perdana Menteri, Media Prima Berhad dan TV3, platform penstriman tonton, serta akaun rasmi Ejen Ali.

Yang penting, “misi mustahil” kami telah berjaya dilaksanakan. Esok lusa mungkin banyak lagi berita tentang reaksi para guru dan masyarakat akan menyusul. Paparan terkini di Meltwater sebentar tadi menunjukkan video ucapan Hari Guru melonjak ke hampir 200 juta capaian digital, sentimen positif mendominasi, dan kadar perkongsian turut mencatat peningkatan.

Semua itu, entah kenapa, terasa seperti sebahagian daripada ritual.

Tak ada siapa yang peduli siapa CEO, siapa cikgu, siapa dah pencen. Yang penting, siapa yang masih hafal rap “Fanatik” tanpa tercungap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Yang ada hanya getaran suara menyanyi bersama, tangan yang terangkat secara refleks dan mata yang sedikit berair bila “Mengerti” dimainkan.

Dulu saya dengar tanpa memahami. Kini saya dengar dan terasa luka. Mungkin sebab saya akhirnya tahu maksud kehilangan. Maksud sebenar ‘mengerti’. Bahawa tidak semua yang kita cintai akan kekal bersama kita. Dan tak semua maaf akan sempat diucapkan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Ketika “Awas” menyusul, ramai yang bertepuk dua kali pada tepat rentak 2-dan-4 bergabung gerakan refleks otot yang tidak pernah hilang. Ada momen saya terhenti, berfikir; adakah kita benar-benar patut menikmati semula masa lampau ini? Mungkin ya, atau mungkin kita sekadar mahu lari dari dunia TikTok yang hiper-pantas. Tetapi apabila korus “Awas! Awas! Awas! Gerak langkahmu” memecah udara, rasa bersalah itu lenyap. Saya akhirnya faham—nostalgia bukan pelarian. Ia bukan barang murahan. Ia cermin. Ia jambatan. Ia cara kita berdamai dengan siapa kita dulu dan siapa kita hari ini.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;LAGU KITA KINI MILIK MEREKA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;&quot;&gt;Saya ternampak seorang remaja—mungkin belasan tahun—mengangkat telefon, merakam video.

Milik kami. Milik mereka yang mengikat kepala dengan bandana, menconteng nama kumpulan pada beg sekolah, menyembunyikan kaset dari cikgu disiplin.

Adegan pembukaan di lorong basah, di mana Ariff menghantar VVIP sebelum disergah unit taktikal misteri, ditangkap dalam satu tangkapan long‑take 90 saat. Kamera menari antara dinding sempit, seolah‑olah turut sesak bernafas bersama watak.

Ia bertanya – apakah makna persaudaraan apabila kuasa dan wang menjadi mata wang baharu? Ariff mewakili naivete; Ghaz melambangkan pragmatisme toksik; Jaki – peluang kedua yang jarang diizinkan masyarakat patriarki.

Ia menolak klise hitam dan putih, memilih kelabu sebagai palet utama. Dalam dunia “Blood Brothers: Bara Naga”, semua orang berdosa. Semua orang korban.

And yet, it&#39;s a stark reminder that even at our most vulnerable, we can find a breath of fresh (albeit slightly salty) air.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjwIQQFLBjbCDyDZdYIWlC5OhtMoRyX0kR7SEdUJpMlP-quLanIGOFQa_Tes8N2DXMNMN2XhFVi9AhZ-l5SGvGAEPzqKEQPzYQ8O8nkcxfrgwAFaPNu7j36CopyxDbfo0PPLdArYgOPxdM5zPiALITAdyaCKRVpBavWapetja6nUDAxYoXzxqmt&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1080&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1080&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjwIQQFLBjbCDyDZdYIWlC5OhtMoRyX0kR7SEdUJpMlP-quLanIGOFQa_Tes8N2DXMNMN2XhFVi9AhZ-l5SGvGAEPzqKEQPzYQ8O8nkcxfrgwAFaPNu7j36CopyxDbfo0PPLdArYgOPxdM5zPiALITAdyaCKRVpBavWapetja6nUDAxYoXzxqmt=w400-h400&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Dancing with the Fishes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;: Watching schools of fish dart around you is magical. That is until you realise their grace and agility are starkly contrasted to your underwater ballet, which resembles a confused potato more closely than a majestic sea creature. In its infinite wisdom, the ocean offers a humbling lesson in humility and the art of not taking oneself too seriously.

&lt;br /&gt;
Untuk memenangi &lt;b&gt;Blackberry PlayBook &lt;/b&gt;itu sangatlah &lt;b&gt;MUDAH&lt;/b&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya akan mengumumkan &lt;b&gt;lima (5)&lt;/b&gt; pembayang seperti di bawah:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Pembayang 1&lt;/b&gt; : Popular (Foto)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Pembayang &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;2&lt;/b&gt; : Gua (RT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Pembayang&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; 3&lt;/b&gt; : Buku (Foto)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Pembayang&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; 4&lt;/b&gt; : Sinaran (@)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Pembayang &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;5&lt;/b&gt; : Hello!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Manakala pada hari Sabtu ini, saya akan mengumumkan keseluruhan kata kunci pertandingan ini di akaun Twitter saya di &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com/sultanmuzaffar&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;@sultanmuzaffar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Jika anda ingin menyertai pertandingan ini, anda hendaklah mengikuti (&lt;i&gt;follow&lt;/i&gt;) akaun Twitter tersebut.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waktu pengumuman pertama arahan tersebut akan dilakukan pada waktu yang belum ditetapkan lagi. Besar kemungkinan saya akan berada di acara tersebut mulai pukul 5 petang. Jadi kalau ada yang ingin menyertai dan berada di sana pada pukul 3 petang, lebih afdal sekiranya anda tunggu!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pemenang akan dipilih berdasarkan peserta yang menjawab setiap kata kunci dengan kaedah yang betul. Sekiranya peserta yang menang terdiri dari kalangan yang saya kenal secara peribadi, seboleh-bolehnya akan saya elakkan bagi menghindarkan fitnah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Entri yang sebenar-benarnya sebuah entri pun hanya dikemaskini Oktober tahun lalu kerana ulasan iPhone 4. Itu bermakna sudah hampir setahun saya memiliki telefon pintar iPhone 4 yang dihadiahkan oleh Maxis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ruang untuk berkomunikasi kini menjadi lebih mudah. Boleh saja menjadi pengikut saya di Twitter @sultanmuzaffar atau pun di Facebook sultanmuzaffar. Saya lebih senang berkomunikasi di Twitter memandangkan ia merupakan ruang yang lebih mudah untuk mendapatkan perkembangan terkini akan apa saja yang berlaku di seluruh dunia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya juga sepatutnya lebih memanafaatkan iPad yang ada untuk mengemaskini blog ini, malangnya masa tidak begitu mengizinkan. Bayangkan situasi seseorang yang memiliki 4 peranti yang boleh dihubungkan pada internet iaitu sebuah iPhone, sebuah Blackberry, sebuah iPad dan sebuah Playbook, pastinya peralatan seperti komputer riba akan dilupakan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ahh! Itu bukan alasan sebenarnya. Itu belum lagi keperluan untuk memikul beban tugas yang semakin berat serta tanggungjawab yang lebih besar. Ahh! Alasan lagi...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sekiranya saya mahu meneruskan blog ini, apakah yang diinginkan oleh pembaca? Sebuah lagi blog gossip? Tidak mungkin! Catatan diari? Sudah saya tinggalkan bertahun yang lalu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Buat masa ini kebanyakan tulisan saya akan disiarkan di &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gua.com.my/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;www.gua.com.my&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, sebuah portal hiburan dan gaya hidup milik Media Prima Berhad. Ya, saya tidak lagi bersama Astro, saya kini bersama Media Prima, sekiranya ada yang masih belum tahu. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Itu sahaja buat masa ini, saya perlu untuk mencari alasan yang lebih kukuh. :)&lt;br /&gt;

Satu ciri terbaru iPhone 4 yang tidak begitu berguna untuk saya. Pertamanya kerana FaceTime hanya berfungsi sekiranya terdapat WiFi. Tanpa WiFi, FaceTime tidak berfungsi walaupun iPhone 4 memiliki 3G. Pada saya FaceTime sepatutnya boleh berfungsi dengan adanya 3G tanpa perlu WiFi. Seperti contohnya saya sendiri yang tidak memiliki WiFi di rumah tentunya tidak akan saya gunakan FaceTime untuk berkomunikasi dengan pengguna iPhone 4 yang lain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya tidak akan menghabiskan masa saya berbual menggunakan FaceTime di pejabat yang pastinya terikat dengan panggilan-panggilan bisnes. Hanya panggilan yang melibatkan peribadi sahaja akan saya gunakan FaceTime dan ianya lebih sesuai dilakukan di rumah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sewaktu mencuba FaceTime dengan @abinesh dan @prasys, saya lakukannya di pejabat. Apabila ada panggilan masuk, FaceTime yang sedang saya lakukan dengan @abinesh terhenti secara tiba-tiba. Mungkin juga kerana Auto Hold atau pun masalah lain, tidak dapat saya pastikan. Saya rakam perbualan saya dengan @prasys dalam video di bawah ini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;object height=&quot;385&quot; width=&quot;480&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/oaERFnSsQEI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/oaERFnSsQEI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;385&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kesimpulannya, kerana FaceTime menggunakan WiFi, ia akan menjadi satu daripada ciri terbaru iPhone 4 yang tidak akan saya gunakan kerana saya tidak mahu membuang masa di pejabat yang memiliki pautan WiFi.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Pernahkah kau bermimpi, seketika berada di tempatku : http://sultanmuzaffar.blogspot.com

Saya bukan peminat jenama Apple, cuma saya memiliki iPhone 3GS dan iPad. Setelah menggunakan iPhone 3GS dan iPad, saya sedar ia satu jenama yang lebih kepada gaya hidup (lifestyle). Lagipun saya hanya melanggan kepada penggunaan data paling minima iaitu 500MB dan ianya sudah cukup baik untuk saya kerana saya melanggan pakej Maxis Blackberry Unlimited. Hanya apabila bateri Blackberry habis barulah saya  menggunakan iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;

Sejak menggunakan iPhone 4, saya paling tertarik dengan keupayaannya merakamkan foto yang paling jelas antara 2 jenama telefon bimbit yang saya miliki. Oleh kerana kerjaya saya sebagai wartawan dan blogger, saya banyak merakamkan foto. Antara foto yang saya rakamkan adalah sempena &lt;a href=&quot;http://sultanmuzaffar.blogspot.com/2010/10/day-05-photo-galore-at-media-prima.html&quot;&gt;Rumah Terbuka Aidilfitri Media Prima&lt;/a&gt; yang berlangsung baru-baru ini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Video&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kualiti HD (definisi tinggi). Apa lagi yang mampu saya perkatakan. Kualiti video yang saya rakamkan sewaktu Rumah Terbuka Aiditfitri Media Prima sangat baik (lupakan kualiti suntingannya). Jika dibuat dengan teliti suntingannya, ia akan menjadi lebih baik dan amat baik untuk sesebuah produksi. Saya mahu merakamkan lebih banyak video dengan iPhone 4 kerana saya tahu apa yang boleh dilakukan oleh telefon bimbit ini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Panggilan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Semua orang tahu tentang masalah reception yang dihadapi oleh iPhone 4. Beberapa kali panggilan saya terputus. Berada di basement parking terputus, berada di dalam lif juga adakalanya terputus. Beberapa orang kawan mengeji saya kerana masalah tersebut. Paling mengharukan apabila sim iPhone 4 merupakan nombor utama saya untuk tugas pejabat dan teman-teman. Haha!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;SMS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pada mulanya, saya hairan ke mana perginya butang menukar bahasa? Ia menyukarkan saya yang sering menghantar SMS dalam dua bahasa. Adakalanya saya menghantar dalam bahasa Inggeris dan adakalanya dalam bahasa Malaysia dan selalunya bahasa Rojak. Tanpa penukaran bahasa ia menyukarkan saya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Setelah menukar beberapa setting, barulah saya dapat melihat kembali butang penukaran bahasa pada bahagian New Message. Sudah saya katakan, saya bukannya seorang techies yang arif tentang selok-belok menukar setting tetapi kerana “trial &amp;amp; error” dapat juga saya tukar.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyAtELHF-jgjbP1q4-fe0QBMXuRrfj0rJbXSLlmnYb4rys_ZpwnwQXtv2gRlvfvOsdjV5hbUCBfNXabKghepHsah8fnKsNpFmYEFF5t57a7ak1y1mGWVOI4KSx-2R1wRsVnNe2/s1600/IMG_0088.PNG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyAtELHF-jgjbP1q4-fe0QBMXuRrfj0rJbXSLlmnYb4rys_ZpwnwQXtv2gRlvfvOsdjV5hbUCBfNXabKghepHsah8fnKsNpFmYEFF5t57a7ak1y1mGWVOI4KSx-2R1wRsVnNe2/s640/IMG_0088.PNG&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1. Facebook&lt;br /&gt;
Bohong kalau saya tidak memiliki aplikasi Facebook di dalam iPhone 4 saya. Ia menjadi aplikasi paling penting sekarang terutamanya untuk mengemaskini status Facebook supaya semua orang tahu apa yang saya lakukan sekarang. Ingat kembali tentang iPhone sebagai jenama gaya hidup. Jadi amat kena sekali untuk saya gunakannya sebagai penghubung agar orang tahu apa yang saya sedang lakukan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Twitter&lt;br /&gt;
Ia sumber maklumat paling utama saya. Adakalanya maklumat dalam Twitter lebih pantas dari berita. Sebelum berita berlaku, sudah tersebar segala tweet dan kemudiannya tersebar serata dunia maya. Haha! Saya lebih gemar mem”follow” pengguna Twitter dari kalangan pesaing untuk mengikuti apa perancangan terkini mereka. Banyak masa saya habiskan di Twitter untuk berkongsi, berkomunikasi dan bergossip dengan rakan-rakan yang mengikuti saya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. TweetDeck&lt;br /&gt;
Bezanya iPhone dengan Blackberry yang paling utama ialah aplikasi TweetDeck. iPhone ada TweetDeck, Blackberry tiada! Aplikasi ini amat penting untuk saya mengikuti trend berita semasa. Contohnya sekarang saya mengikuti topik #Maxis10, #MaxisiPhone4, #SheilaMajid, #GuaMalaysia dan banyak lagi.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. FourSquare&lt;br /&gt;
Lagi satu kegilaan remaja dan saya tidak mahu ketinggalan. Walaupun saya jarang menggunakan FourSquare namun untuk mendownload aplikasi itu dalam iPhone 4 adalah wajib. Saya hanya akan “check-in” bila berada di lokasi yang pelik-pelik dan tidak suka spam dengan “check-in” yang terlalu common contohnya OFFICE. Apa perlunya “check-in” di office setiap pagi hanya sekadar untuk mengumumkannya kepada yang mengikuti kita. Saya rasa ia sesuatu yang tidak perlu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Mashable&lt;br /&gt;
Great! Ini adalah aplikasi utama saya untuk mendapatkan berita tentang social media. Banyak berita seluruh dunia dikongsikan dalam aplikasi ini dan perlu saya muat turun untuk sentiasa terkini dengan berita-berita tersebut.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Skype&lt;br /&gt;
Tahu tak yang menginstall Skype adalah sesuatu yang wajib di ofis saya. Ia merupakan medium komunikasi paling utama. Walaupun saya seorang yang tidak begitu gemar dengan aplikasi chat terpaksa saya lakukan. Gosip pejabat pantas tersebar di Skype. Selain di laptop, di iPhone 4 juga saya install aplikasi tersebut semata-mata untuk bergosip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. Wikipedia&lt;br /&gt;
Walaupun ia merupakan free user generated content, adakalanya ia sukar untuk dipercayai, namun saya percaya ada juga maklumat yang boleh dipercayai dalam aplikasi itu. Ia kemestian saya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xu46cIOSR90SkvYfqChIZhf6ULoSj-QYNQ2n37GefiMbtASE65FtbYyMvOJQyKaR5QNkps3uOyEfeSrhtP9QcojKua3o3qEcnLgllTSHavFDm0gpsug_MM9-BMDkix4dkfjV/s1600/IMG_0136.PNG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xu46cIOSR90SkvYfqChIZhf6ULoSj-QYNQ2n37GefiMbtASE65FtbYyMvOJQyKaR5QNkps3uOyEfeSrhtP9QcojKua3o3qEcnLgllTSHavFDm0gpsug_MM9-BMDkix4dkfjV/s640/IMG_0136.PNG&quot; width=&quot;426&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;8. CNN International&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sumber berita terkini! Apa lagi yang boleh saya perkatakan!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;9. Sleep Cycle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bagi pengguna iPhone yang tiada aplikasi ini, anda patut gunakannya. Saya suka menggunakannya. Aplikasi itu mengrafkan tidur anda sama ada “deep sleep”, “dream” atau pun “awake”. Bunyi penggeranya pun lebih menyamankan. Penggera dibunyikan bila graf tidur anda menghampiri awake dan bukannya secara tiba-tiba seperti penggera lain. Jika anda menetapkan penggera dibunyikan pada pukul 10 pagi, ia akan berbunyi antara pukul 9.45 pagi hingga 10.15 pagi dengan mengambilkira tidur anda berada di graf “awake” dalam tempoh tersebut.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;10. Maybank2U&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mudah! Perbankan dilakukan bila-bila masa di mana-mana sahaja. Namun pastikan anda sentiasa log-out kerana jika iPhone anda hilang, ia akan membahayakan akaun anda disalahgunakan oleh pencuri tersebut. Sama seperti Facebook, Twitter dan pelbagai akaun social media anda yang berhadapan dengan risiko identity theft.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;11. iProperty&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Terlebih 1 dalam 10 Top Aplikasi iPhone ialah iProperty. Saya kini dalam pencarian untuk membeli rumah, oleh itu aplikasi ini amat penting buat saya. Senang untuk mencari rumah yang menarik untuk dibeli dengan menetapkan kawasan pilihan anda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;12. Engadget&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sama seperti Mashable, Engadget adalah aplikasi berita terkini dunia gajet antarabangsa. Walaupun bukan seorang techies, saya perlu mengemaskinikan diri saya dengan berita terkini dunia gajet. Sekadar untuk suka-suka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Voice Memos&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wartawan kini tidak lagi membawa perakam suara atau buku nota. Saya menggunakan Voice Memos sahaja. Bila mewawancara personaliti, saya menggunakannya kerana ia lebih mudah. Saya tidak perlu menulis dalam buku nota, saya hanya menyalin soalan yang diberikan sebagai que untuk saya. Saya mencatatkan minit ke berapa yang perlu saya ambil untuk dimasukkan dalam artikel. Lebih memudahkan kerja saya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Maps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yahoooooo! Dengan GPS yang terbaik, perjalanan saya menjadi lebih lancar dengan adanya Maps. Saya boleh set permulaan dan destinasi pilihan saya dan mendapatkan laluan paling pantas (kecuali tiada kesesakan lalulintas). Berbeza dengan Google Maps yang memberi laluan kepada anda, Maps tidak memberikan pilihan laluan, hanya satu laluan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Facetime&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Setakat ulasan ini dibuat, saya masih belum melakukan sebarang Facetime dengan mana-mana rakan #Maxis10 lagi. Antara sebab utamanya adalah ia hanya berfungsi dengan WiFi. Saya hanya boleh melakukannya di pejabat sahaja atau pun ketika berada di café. InsyaAllah dalam waktu terdekat ini saya akan melakukannya secepat mungkin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Terus terang, saya tidak akan mengulas dari aspek teknologi untuk iPhone 4 ini. Saya sedar kekurangan saya dalam mengulas aspek teknologi yang saya mampu ulas adalah aspek penggunaannya dalam aspek gaya hidup.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keseluruhannya ia sebuah telefon bimbit yang amat sesuai untuk gaya hidup dan kena dengan kerjaya saya sebagai seorang wartawan dan blogger.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Pernahkah kau bermimpi, seketika berada di tempatku : http://sultanmuzaffar.blogspot.com

Jumaat lalu, saya berkesempatan untuk hadir ke Rumah Terbuka Enfiniti Vision Media anjuran Datuk Seri Effendi Norwawi dan isterinya, Datin Seri Tiara Jacquelina di Kota Kemuning. Di &amp;nbsp;majlis itu, penyanyi nombor satu negara, Datuk Siti Nurhaliza turut hadir bersama suaminya, Datuk Seri Khalid Mohamed Jiwa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya memang tahu yang Datuk Siti merupakan peminat telefon bimbit jenama iPhone. Dan peluang untuk menayangkan iPhone 4 milik saya yang baru saya perolehi dari Maxis di Majlis Pelancaran Rasminya awal pagi Jumaat telah saya pergunakan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYr_wVl1b7J6Qs1YMFdiibQ-lfHFNMrh8PTFClZNtV36BtVmx8Vw2cIuvog6xQU5vsQAFSG3CNNC2VeAz0C8GRzn4Q7-kW3Rc8wH2EcC_0aYMLGdgzqQsRDlthwk50ebOsCJNW/s1600/DSC_3136.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYr_wVl1b7J6Qs1YMFdiibQ-lfHFNMrh8PTFClZNtV36BtVmx8Vw2cIuvog6xQU5vsQAFSG3CNNC2VeAz0C8GRzn4Q7-kW3Rc8wH2EcC_0aYMLGdgzqQsRDlthwk50ebOsCJNW/s640/DSC_3136.jpg&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Saya meminta Siti dan Tiara membukakan kotak iPhone 4 itu untuk saya. Lebih melucukan apabila Tiara sempat mengambil beras di dapurnya untuk menepung tawar kotak iPhone itu. Memang tidak pernah dibuat orang menepung tawar telefon bimbit. Tetapi itulah antara perkara lucu yang kami lakukan malam itu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-Ik29LXYrHfPTXY7eekRFDd3U0vlpIot-NP5zK8eMBpLxavz_OW4BUMAkEpbnHvgI9G0Bt0pQMxuzqTELlsABxmuPKrdxKQOOMl5U926eLvokUZSzGNFsb5STJZktKUVqfS4/s1600/DSC_3143.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-Ik29LXYrHfPTXY7eekRFDd3U0vlpIot-NP5zK8eMBpLxavz_OW4BUMAkEpbnHvgI9G0Bt0pQMxuzqTELlsABxmuPKrdxKQOOMl5U926eLvokUZSzGNFsb5STJZktKUVqfS4/s640/DSC_3143.jpg&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Selesai menepung tawar, Siti membuka kotak iPhone itu perlahan-lahan kerana dia sedar iPhone itu bukan miliknya, tetapi milik saya. Datuk Khalid yang berada di sisinya tersenyum sahaja memerhatikan gelagat isterinya yang sememangnya taksub dengan iPhone. Turut sama bersama pasangan itu ialah anak mereka, Mohamed Azief yang berkali-kali memujuk bapanya agar membelikannya sebuah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beberapa kali juga Siti merakamkan fotonya dengan iPhone tersebut. Kali pertama memandang rekabentuk iPhone 4 saya agak terpegun dengan rekabentuknya. iPhone 4 lebih nipis tetapi lebih berat berbanding iPhone 3GS. Waktu itu saya tidak menghidupkannya kerana tidak disambung kepada iTunes. Lagipun pada waktu itu, saya masih belum menukar sim-card saya ke micro-sim. iPhone 4 menggunakan micro-sim yang saiznya lebih kecil berbanding sim biasa. Jika pandai, anda boleh memotong sim-card anda sendiri dengan peralatan yang ada.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnvLN_mE9EEe3lVYEeKX_rWMMxyvW0uV4DE8aE_KNUvmt61jT_ZoCrpxyaJstgvyYg3ZhT21c4yN9suf88jL5fW6swuUE3hgZAy7QCKtHJG5_VrDBiFVO0NFnBrV10iIfdabOF/s1600/DSC_3158.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnvLN_mE9EEe3lVYEeKX_rWMMxyvW0uV4DE8aE_KNUvmt61jT_ZoCrpxyaJstgvyYg3ZhT21c4yN9suf88jL5fW6swuUE3hgZAy7QCKtHJG5_VrDBiFVO0NFnBrV10iIfdabOF/s400/DSC_3158.jpg&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Itulah antara pengalaman unik yang saya lakukan dengan iPhone 4 baru saya bersama Datuk Siti Nurhaliza dan Datin Seri Tiara Jacquelina. Ramai juga yang mahu memegang iPhone 4 itu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yang paling menarik apabila saya dengar Siti Nurhaliza dan Tiara Jacquelina akan mendapat iPhone 4 mereka sendiri tidak lama lagi yang akan dihantar kepada mereka. Majlis rumah terbuka itu turut dihadiri Michael Chan. Siapa Michael Chan ini biarlah saya rahsiakan. :)&lt;br /&gt;

Malam ini tepat jam 12 tengahmalam saya akan berpeluang memegang telefon bimbit pintar iPhone 4. Menerusi blog, Twitter, Facebook dan Youtube, saya akan melontarkan pandangan jujur saya berkenaan telefon bimbit tersebut. Saya berharap saya menyukainya kerana buat masa ini sebagai pengguna iPhone 3GS, saya hanya menggunakannya untuk panggilan dan sangat minima penggunaan data iaitu 500MB sahaja. Saya lebih gemar menggunakan telefon bimbit pintar Blackberry Bold milik saya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dalam tempoh 2 minggu ini, saya akan cuba kemaskini blog ini dengan iPhone 4 yang dipinjamkan. Pastikan anda terus bersama saya bermula Day 0 hingga Day 14.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya akan berada di The Gardens untuk menyaksikan pelancaran rasmi iPhone 4 dan sedaya upaya mungkin untuk live-tweet jika ada kesempatan. Cari #MaxisiPhone4 di Twitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Ya. Rasmi sudah. Tanggal 21 Ogos lalu merupakan hari terakhir aku secara fizikal berada di pejabat &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/astroawani&quot;&gt;Astro&amp;nbsp;AWANI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Berbeza dengan hari terakhir aku sebagai kakitangan &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.astro.com.my/&quot;&gt;Astro&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;yang akan jatuh pada 15 September depan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secara tidak rasmi, aku sudah menjadi “kakitangan” Astro sejak tahun 2003 sewaktu bermulanya program realiti paling popular mereka, Akademi Fantasia. Beberapa tahun kemudian, aku dirisik Astro untuk bekerja dengan mereka. Secara rasmi aku menjadi kakitangan Astro pada bulan Mac 2006. Pengalaman selama 7 tahun itu amat bermakna. Baik di Astro RIA mahu pun di Astro AWANI. Ia sebuah pengalaman yang amat mencabar sebagai Blogger Tidak Rasmi, Pegawai Publisiti (Akademi Fantasia), Perancang Media Baru dan Wartawan Penyiaran Hiburan selama 7 tahun.&lt;br /&gt;

Secara jelas, aku akan terlibat bersama &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gua.com.my/&quot;&gt;Gua&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;sebagai Editor. Aku kembali ke dunia online setelah 4 tahun aku meninggalkannya. Aku cukup teruja menantikan pengalaman-pengalaman baru yang bakal aku tempuhi tidak lama lagi. Dunia media baru semakin berkembang. Cara menonton televisyen juga sudah berubah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Buat masa ini tiada apa yang aku lakukan kecuali melayari internet mencari maklumat-maklumat terkini untuk sentiasa menyiapkan diri dengan perkembangan teknologi terkini.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Pernahkah kau bermimpi, seketika berada di tempatku : http://sultanmuzaffar.blogspot.com

Kini, penghujung&amp;nbsp;semakin hampir&lt;br /&gt;
Aku melabuh tirai akhir&lt;br /&gt;
Temanku, aku akan mengatakan secara jelas&lt;br /&gt;
Aku akan meyakinkan kebenaran&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aku sudah menjalani kehidupan yang lengkap&lt;br /&gt;
Aku telah meniti perjalanan di setiap laluan&lt;br /&gt;
Dan lebih, lebih daripada itu&lt;br /&gt;
Aku melakukannya dengan caraku&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menyesal, ada beberapa&lt;br /&gt;
Tetapi terlalu sedikit untuk disebutkan&lt;br /&gt;
Aku melakukan apa yang harus aku lakukan&lt;br /&gt;
Dan aku melihatnya tanpa sebarang pengecualian&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aku merancang setiap perjalanan&lt;br /&gt;
Setiap langkah berhati meniti setiap langkah&lt;br /&gt;
Dan lebih, lebih daripada itu&lt;br /&gt;
Aku melakukannya dengan caraku&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ya ada saat-saatnya, aku yakin anda tahu&lt;br /&gt;
Ketika aku diguris lebih dari yang termampu aku tanggung&lt;br /&gt;
Namun aku melalui semua itu tanpa sebarang keraguan&lt;br /&gt;
Aku tabah menempuhinya, aku gagahi&amp;nbsp;semua&lt;br /&gt;
Dan aku berdiri gagah dan terus melakukannya dengan caraku&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aku pernah mencintai, aku ketawa dan menangis&lt;br /&gt;
Aku sudah puas untuk&amp;nbsp;berkongsi kehilangan itu&lt;br /&gt;
Dan sekarang sementara air mata belum reda&lt;br /&gt;
Aku sedar itu semua hanyalah&amp;nbsp;kelucuan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Demi diri ini, aku melakukan semua itu&lt;br /&gt;
Dan aku mengatakan tidak, bukan dengan gaya seorang&amp;nbsp;pemalu&lt;br /&gt;
Oh tidak! Oh tidak! Itu bukan aku&lt;br /&gt;
Aku melakukannya dengan caraku&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Untuk apa menjadi orang yang tidak berani&lt;br /&gt;
Jika tidak menjadi&amp;nbsp;dirinya, maka hidupnya hanyalah sia-sia&lt;br /&gt;
Untuk mengatakan kebenaran yang aku rasa&lt;br /&gt;
Dan bukan kata-kata dari orang yang melutut&lt;br /&gt;
Aku sudah&amp;nbsp;membuktikan&amp;nbsp;yang aku sedia menggegar&lt;br /&gt;
Dan melakukannya mengikut caraku&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ya itulah caraku&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Di tengah-tengah fenomena program realiti memuncak meraikan kemunculan Juara Akademi Fantasia 2, Zahid, pelayar internet seluruh Malaysia gempar membaca pendedahan yang telah dibuat. Pelbagai cerita di sebalik tabir pembikinan Konsert Fantasia Tour dibongkar oleh tangan tidak bertuan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Namun, setelah enam tahun berlalu segalanya terlerai dalam satu pertemuan eksklusif penuh makna yang berlangsung di bulan Ramadan. Dirancang baik oleh beberapa teman wartawan dari URTV, Utusan Malaysia dan Berita Harian, Datuk Sharifah Aini dan Datuk Siti Nurhaliza dipertemukan dalam satu sesi fotografi untuk Hari Raya Aidil Fitri yang bakal menjelang tidak lama lagi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mereka bukan calang-calang orangnya. Dua selebriti paling popular di zaman kegemilangan masing-masing. Tiada siapa dapat menafikannya. Sebagai pemerhati dunia hiburan tempatan, ia merupakan bahan terbaik dekad ini. Pertemuan itu membuktikan manusia tidak pernah terlepas daripada membuat kesilapan dan setinggi mana pun tahap pencapaian masing-masing, tanpa kemaafan dan melupakan apa yang telah berlaku ia tidak akan memberikan apa-apa makna. Kerendahan hati kedua-duanya untuk membuang titik hitam dalam perjalanan hidup dan kerjaya masing-masing, sewajarnya harus dipuji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sebagai manusia, kita harus meraikan kemenangan tersebut. Syabas teman-teman yang mengusahakannya. Hari ini, saya akan usahakan untuk mendapatkan reaksi kedua-dua pihak untuk paparan di Gala TV, Astro AWANI.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Tanpa Dendam Di Hati&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Lautan Yang Berapi&lt;br /&gt;
Daratan Yang Berduri&lt;br /&gt;
Bagiku Bukan Musibah&lt;br /&gt;
Malahan Hikmah Berharga&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katalah Apa Saja&lt;br /&gt;
Yang Jelik Penuh Dusta&lt;br /&gt;
Kau Bebas Warnai Diriku&lt;br /&gt;
Di Minda Yang Kelabu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chorus&lt;br /&gt;
Siapa Diri Ini&lt;br /&gt;
Tuhan Yang Memahami&lt;br /&gt;
Amarah Dan Kecewa&lt;br /&gt;
Hanyalah Bara Membakar Jiwa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sungguh Pun Ku Terkilan&lt;br /&gt;
Terguris Perasaan&lt;br /&gt;
Ku Pilih Berdiam Diri&lt;br /&gt;
Tanpa Dendam Dihati&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ulang Chorus 2 X&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Hapuslah Air Matamu&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dengarlah bisikan hati&lt;br /&gt;
Untukmu yang tersayang&lt;br /&gt;
Walaupun apa terjadi&lt;br /&gt;
Tiada perpisahan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Itulah janji-janjinya&lt;br /&gt;
Yang tak mungkin berubah&lt;br /&gt;
Tiada penyesalan&lt;br /&gt;
Yang akan terjadi&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Korus)&lt;br /&gt;
Tiada rintangan baginya&lt;br /&gt;
Yang dapat memutuskan&lt;br /&gt;
Begitu setia janjinya&lt;br /&gt;
Pasangan yang bercinta&lt;br /&gt;
Walaupun apa terjadi&lt;br /&gt;
Kan cuba di atasi&lt;br /&gt;
Begitulah…&lt;br /&gt;
Janganlah bersedih&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hapuslah air matamu&lt;br /&gt;
Usahlah kau bersedih&lt;br /&gt;
Tiada penyesalan&lt;br /&gt;
Yang insaf bagimu…&lt;br /&gt;

PENGUMUMAN KERJASAMA DI ANTARA ‘THE CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP SDN BHD’ DAN ‘PRIMEWORKS STUDIO SDN BHD’ BAGI TEATER MUZIKAL – TERIMA KASIH CINTA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kuala Lumpur, 17 Ogos 2010&lt;/b&gt;: The Creative Partnership Sdn. Bhd. dan Primeworks Studios Sdn. Bhd. (&lt;i&gt;anak syarikat Media Prima Berhad&lt;/i&gt;) akan menggabungkan cinta mereka melalui kerjasama untuk merealisasikan fenomena muzikal – &lt;b&gt;Terima Kasih CINTA&lt;/b&gt;. Terima Kasih CINTA akan bermula pada &lt;b&gt;17hb Februari 2011 hingga 6 Mac 2011&lt;/b&gt;, dan bakal mementaskan 19 persembahan selama dua minggu di &lt;b&gt;Istana Budaya&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Terima Kasih CINTA yang diadaptasikan daripada filem CINTA, adalah sebuah produksi ‘Primeworks Studios’ berkisarkan lima kisah cinta pada masa kini yang menunjukkan kepelbagaian karakter. Penonton akan mendapat kesan bunyi dan visual yang memukau daripada produksi ini. Produksi ini juga akan mempersembahkan lagu-lagu nostalgia yang disuntik daripada era awal 90-an.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Penerbit bagi produksi ini Boudeng Edruce berkata,&lt;i&gt; “Dengan mengambil pendekatan kontemporari, Terima Kasih CINTA telah diolah dengan babak-babak yang dramatik dan dialog yang penuh emosi serta diselang-selikan dengan lagu-lagu retro. Ianya juga akan disuntik dengan gerakan tarian yang menyentuh perasaan dan akan menambahkan lagi keterujaan pada persembahan ini.” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Boudeng Edruce menambah, &lt;i&gt;“Kami ingin melahirkan lebih ramai penggerak teater di dalam industri ini melalui penerbitan Terima Kasih CINTA. Bakat yang berpotensi dan berkredibiliti akan terhasil dan saya percaya mereka akan dapat berkerjasama dan sekaligus produksi ini akan berjaya nanti.  Ujibakat untuk pelakon utama, “ensemble”, dan artis akan berlangsung pada bulan Oktober. Siri latihan pula akan bermula pada minggu pertama bulan November dan akan berlanjutan selama 3 bulan.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pengurus Besar bagi Bisnes Studio &amp;amp; Hal-Ehwal Korporat, Primeworks Studio , Tengku Iesta Tengku Alaudin pula berkata: &lt;i&gt;“Filem CINTA telah menyentuh kehidupan ramai serta karakter di dalam filem tersebut adalah amat tersendiri. Filem tersebut bukan sahaja berjaya menambat hati penonton malah industri filem tempatan sendiri. Filem ini telah menggondol beberapa anugerah pada Festival Filem Malaysia yang ke-20 iaitu anugerah Filem Terbaik, Pelakon Pembantu Lelaki Terbaik menerusi Datuk Rahim Razali, Lakon Layar Terbaik dan juga Suntingan Terbaik. Filem CINTA juga telah meraih beberapa anugerah di Anugerah Skrin ke-9 dan Anugerah Oskar 6. Oleh itu, kami amat teruja untuk menantikan muzikal yang hebat dan produksi yang berjaya nanti.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Muzikal ini dijangka dapat menyebarkan CINTA kepada semua tanpa mengambil kira bangsa, jantina mahupun agama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nota : Menjejak kejayaan Puteri Gunung Ledang dan Cuci, kini giliran Cinta pula mencipta kejayaan. Selain menambah-taraf sebuah filem kepada satu medium iaitu teater, filem Cinta selayaknya diterjemah ke pentas teater. Bakal digarap pengarah berpengalaman dengan nukilan rasa penulis skrip, penonton akan dibawa menyelam lima kisah cinta pelbagai generasi yang mampu membuat kita mengucapkan terima kasih kepada CINTA.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Pernahkah kau bermimpi, seketika berada di tempatku : http://sultanmuzaffar.blogspot.com
