Yo yo! What can I say? I’m going to sound like a broken record but… I’ve been so BUSY!! Been lecturing at the university (one of the heaviest semesters I’ve ever had!)… and trying to complete a historical documentary for ASTRO… before going to San Francisco for the University of California, Berkeley’s Islam Today Film Festival at the end of this week! Damn!!!!
But still I managed to complete a report for Dutch TV station VPRO’s Metropolis TV. It’s about polygamy in Malaysia… I shot a polygamous Muslim family… four wives and 17 kids! It went on air in Holland last Saturday… but you can watch it online by clicking here.

Fellow Fatbidinians! It’s been a hectic week! My eyes are bulging out of their sockets! But good news! I’ve recently been contracted as a video journalist for a Dutch news agency called VJ Movement. What’s cool about this organisation is that they focus on solo-video journalism! My kinda style!
My first video news story for them is about the whole ‘Allah’ debacle and the church burnings happening in Malaysia. Embarrassing I tell you! Click on the picture below to view my video news story.

Someone finally bought into my idea of creating a Web video series! I’ve been trying to launch one off in Malaysia for years but no one has been bold enough (or foolish enough?) to back me up! I finally found a sucker… errr… no… I mean a TOTALLY GREAT AND AWESOME company… that is open and cool enough to try it out! It’s… drum roll please… P1 W1MAX!!!!! Hey… they did recently win the APICTA 2009 Award for Best Start-Up of the Year!
So I present to you the first episode of the P1 Net Show! It’s going to be a weekly series on the Web that shows the goings-on of P1 the company. It will also have a gigantic Fat Bidin/Zan Azlee influence to it. And I don’t know if that is a turn-on or a turn-off for you guys! But I enjoy it for sure! Muahahaha! Now go tell all your friends!

Alright! Looks like my film I’M MUSLIM TOO! Heading to the border won’t be seeing the light of day on Malaysian television thanks to the ban! But no worries! The kind folks at KOMAS have decided to bring it on their 2009 Freedom Film Festival tour around Malaysia.
Here are the dates and venue:
Kuala Lumpur – The Annexe, Central Market (3pm, 3rd October)
Penang – Han Chiang College (3pm, 10th October)
Kuching – Sek Men Chung Hua 1 (3pm, 24th October)
Johor Bahru – Tropical Inn (3pm, 31st October)
I’ll try and show up at a couple of these venues. So come and get an autograph from me! Haha!
