Unity? How about some satay? Check out the video I did this week for The Malaysian Insider. His satay really is good!
Also featured is my latest column entitled ‘Facebook is a crime’. Who’s that poking you? Is it Khairy or Anwar? Go read now! Here’s an excerpt:
JUNE 21 – I’m a very New Media guy. I have a website, a blog and a YouTube and even Twitter page. I have one of the latest PDA phones and two iPods. I produce and direct digital films. And I have been an IT journalist for the past nine years. But somehow or rather, I had never subscribed to an online networking site. Until, of course, Facebook came along. [Click for more]

Here’s a short documentary I did about ’samak’ some time ago. And to my delight, because of this, I was immediately promoted to the rank of ‘Ustaz‘!
Here’s an excerpt of my latest column/reaction to my new found status (which can be read in it’s entirety at The Malaysian Insider):
JUNE 3 — “Assalamualaikum,” said the woman on the other line.
“Wa’alaikumsalam,” I replied.
“Boleh saya bercakap dengan Ustaz Zan Azlee?”
“Err… Zan Azlee bercakap.”
“Saya nak bertanya, saya baru sahaja membeli rumah. Perlukah saya samak lantai dan dinding rumah tersebut?”
I’m definitely not an ustaz (Islamic scholar) and I’m definitely not an expert on issues relating to samak. I had no clue as to why she called me asking for advice on cleaning her house. [Click for more]

Fresh from my video story I did for The Malaysian Insider… I then went and wrote an opinion piece for them. Go check it out here.
It’s going to be a fortnightly column… where I will scour the Internet for interesting videos and comment on them based on current affairs and pop culture.
Below is the video (click on the screen capture to view) and an excerpt of what I wrote:
“MAY 15 — I never like taking responsibility for mistakes I’ve made. It means admitting that I was wrong at something. And when I admit that I’m wrong, it means that I’m not perfect. I can’t stand not being perfect. The reason being, I am perfect.
So I guess I can relate to people who can’t seem to admit to their mistakes. Let’s say, for example, the mayor of Crumble Rock City wants to develop his town. He encourages the construction of buildings all around so that the city looks modern and sophisticated.” [Click for more]
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!!

I wrote two articles based on my filmmaking trip to the Middle-East for Surf! magazine (click on the pics to read). Go check out the latest issue at all major newstands and bookstores!
I’m a writer too! Soooo talented lah! Hahaha!
Go out and grab a copy of the latest issue (May/June 07) of SURF! It’s an awesome magazine! Absolutely terrific! Totally bodacious! And it has one hell of a regular contributing writer (it’s me obviously!)!
This issue’s cover theme deals with New Media news. Check out the opening article entitled ‘The New News’. Great stuff! One hell of a writer I tell you (it’s me obviously!)!
As you all know, I wrote a book which is now on the shelves (and if you didn’t know… now you do!). The New Straits Times recently wrote an article about the publishing company, Content Cradle. What makes it unique is that submission of ideas are done online. Read the article here.
I wrote a book… with some help of course! It’s in the bookstores now and is being sold at RM19.90, published by Content Cradle. It’s a simple book that helps people to make full use of New Media/Internet.
Check it out! Buy a copy! Help me pay the bills, feed my kids and pay for my parents’ nursing home fees!
