Malay Shows

4 Dimensi

My character is leaving Singapore to go back home to France and he's bringing his new Malay girlfriend with him. However, she has a boyfriend wo wants to get married with her. The three of us meet in a park and she breaks up with him. As if that wasn't enough, I give him the keys to my condo and tell him to look after it until it's sold!

Sayembara Cerpen


Above are some stills of me acting in my first Malay role, Saymebara Cerpen. I play an unfaithful American with HIV married to a Malay woman in Singapore. Although I become a reformed and devout Muslim, I die a slow death in the end.

Broadcast December 2001 on Suria. Re-runs have been shown every December since then around Hari Raya. Directed by Azroy Sultan.

Thanks to Azroy for his late nights of not only acting lessons but Malay lessons!

Anak Metropolitan

In this series, sponsored by the Singapore Police, I play the role of an American graduate student (in anthropology) studying in Singapore, throughout five episodes. I get to know a local Malay girl (also a student, and played by Suhaila), and we talk about getting married. Contrary to stereotypes, I turn out to be the conservative type and she isn't, and things don't work out between us.

This very successful drama, directed by Azroy Sultan, was brodcast on Suria in April of 2002. It was rebroadcast June 30 2002 and January 2005.

Mama Kita...Papa Awak

Acting alongside Salih Yaccob (right) Era Faridah, Didie Alias (center) and Rozita Abu, I play the role of a resort owner in Sarawak, East Malaysia.

That's when the real comedy begins...
