  • Permohonan Maaf Najip Ali Ditolak, Masih Ada Yang Belum Mintak Maaf – Zed Zaidi

    Permohonan Maaf Najip Ali Ditolak, Masih Ada Yang Belum Mintak Maaf – Zed Zaidi

    PERSATUAN Seniman Malaysia (Seniman) tidak menerima permohonan maaf yang dibuat oleh stesen televisyen Singapura, Mediacorp Channel 5 dan Najip Ali berhubung kenyataan mempersendakan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menerusi rancangan hiburan OK Chope! di negara itu.

    Presidennya, Zed Zaidi berkata, keputusan itu diambil memandangkan terdapat ahli panel lain yang masih belum meminta maaf sehingga tempoh yang diberi tamat.

    “Kita tahu memang stesen TV itu dan Najip dah memohon maaf. Tapi ada ahli panel lain yang masih belum berbuat demikian lagi.

    “Kita mahu semua ahli panel meminta maaf,” katanya kepada Media Hiburan.

    Selain Najip, OK Chope! menampilkan Vernetta Lopez sebagai hos rancangan dan ahli panel lain ialah Mike Kasem, Rishi Budhrani dan Sam See.

    Pada perkembangan sama, Zed turut mempersoalkan tindakan ahli panel lain yang masih berdiam diri seterusnya beranggapan isu tersebut tidak pernah selesai.

    “Semua sedia maklum, kita bagi tempoh sehingga Jumaat (semalam), namun tiada tuntutan maaf daripada ahli panel yang lain. Mereka boleh berhubung dengan saya secara terus melalui telefon atau emel.

    “Kalau tiada inisiatif, kita anggap perkara ini tak selesai,” katanya.

    Susulan itu, Seniman memfailkan laporan polis terhadap semua selebriti yang terbabit dalam program itu di Balai Polis Dang Wangi, Kuala Lumpur, semalam.

    Pada masa sama, katanya, Seniman juga akan menghantar satu memorandum kepada Kerajaan Malaysia.

    “Kita sebagai pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) memainkan peranan dalam membantu kerajaan dari sudut industri seni negara.

    “Kita juga mahu beri pengajaran buat artis luar jika mahu masuk negara Malaysia perlu ikut undang-undang dan jangan buat hal,” tegasnya.

    Dalam pada itu, Seniman menafikan semua tindakan dibuat berdasarkan kepentingan peribadi.

    “Kita tegaskan, ini bukan mencari publisiti murahan tapi ini berlaku dalam bidang seni itu sendiri.

    “Oleh itu, kita perlu bertanggungjawab melakukan sesuatu demi melihat industri seni ini dihormati,” katanya. – Sinar Harian

  • Najip Ali Apologises To Malaysian PM Najib Razak For Joke In Poor Taste

    Najip Ali Apologises To Malaysian PM Najib Razak For Joke In Poor Taste

    PETALING JAYA: Singapore broadcasting group Mediacorp today apologised to Najib Razak for airing a comedy show in which participants made comments deemed offensive to the Malaysian prime minister.

    Popular talk show host Najip Ali in a statement carried by Mediacorp today expressed regret over comments he made on “OK Chope!”, a programme on Singapore’s Channel 5 in which panel members give humorous takes on current affairs.

    “I realise how insensitive and callous I was. I would like to apologise unreservedly to Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. I beg his forgiveness and that of my viewers and friends.”

    In an episode last week, host Vernetta Lopez asked panelists to complete a news headline “Najib slams — for threatening Malaysia’s progress”.

    They responded by offering funny phrases to complete the sentence, including a reference to the RM2.6 billion deposited into Najib’s personal accounts, money which Najib claimed was a donation from Saudi Arabia for Umno’s 2013 general election campaign.

    “Najib with a ‘b’ slams Najip with a ‘p’,” said Najip, who is best known for hosting the 1990s regional talent show Asia Bagus.

    “Najib slams bomoh’s heads with his own coconuts,” said another, taking a jibe at shaman Ibrahim Mat Zin, also known as Raja Bomoh, who made headlines with his antics at the peak of the MH370 flight disappearance crisis as well as the recent diplomatic tiff between Malaysia and North Korea.

    Lopez then announced the correct headline, “Najib slams fake news for threatening Malaysia’s progress”, before remarking: “What, he’s doing the Trump line now? Fake news!”

    “What’s he going to do now, follow Trump’s hairstyle as well?” Lopez went on.

    Mediacorp chief customer officer, Debra Soon also apologised on behalf of Channel 5 and the show’s production team, saying the references to Najib were in “poor taste”.

    “We apologise unreservedly for this mistake.”

    She added that a repeat of the programme would not be aired.

  • Local Malay Celebrities Disrespected By Film Production Houses

    Local Malay Celebrities Disrespected By Film Production Houses

    I saw the articles from the vasantham actress and PA of a film production in sg and would like to also say that it happens in Suria!

    I dont want to be named but I’m a fairly well known actress in Suria. You have probably seen me in commercials and magazines too. If you are malay,chances are you know my face and my name. I’m all over the place in the malay film community and im one of those really famous actress and people often ask for a picture with me in public. You may think we are ‘so kaya’, paid well and live comfortably but this is not true.

    I, like many of the big local stars are not paid well. Tbh if you think about it, all the malay celebrities have a full time job or side business elsewhere while acting at the same time. Some will take to being emcees/host/DJ for events or weddings. Those who purely want to do acting only will be starred in multiple different shows at the same time just to make ends meet, and this is why sometimes you see the same actress or actor acting in every sit com, drama or commercial. because no choice lah. money from one project is not enough. My pay can be as low as $200 for a project. 1 project can take 2 months to complete shooting and most of the time I have to be on location the whole day. Normally by night time I will rush to my other project because I often juggle at least 3 of it at the same time.some film productions are professional and treat us with respect but MOST MACAM SIAL. my pay is always delayed by months and in some cases they expect me to forget about it and stop chasing.

    Id like to say that it’s not mediacorp or suria that is at fault, its the film productions in sg! wtf sia so blardee budget!

    mediacorp pays film productions lots of money (tens of thousands) to create content. But all the money goes to the whoever it is who owns the film production. He will fork out just mere pocket money to film crews and then book at least 1 or 2 A lister celebrity for cheap (as low as $100 – $600) and then get students to act for free.

    Kids in SG are naive and want the fame so they will jump for any opportunity to act even if its free. Normally food is provided during set because someone will buy chicken rice or something. but then they kids dont gain anything. Not even fame, because their face will only appear for 3 seconds or they only have to do one line. I have seen so many secondary school kids skipping school just to travel all the way to shooting location and wait in the sun for their turn to act. By the time it’s their turn to act, director will be so harsh and humiliate them for being nervous. I don’t blame the kids, they dont have the experience for it and nobody was directing them! i overheard a
    director saying ‘kalau dier isap, aku bagi spot” which means “if shes willing to suck my dick, will give her a spot to act”

    Film productions always want things for free. They will get free sponsorship for food, drinks, wardrobe, music, by promising that the item will be displayed in clear view on screen but this is just a scam. For example film production gets sponsorship from a beverage brand, they get cartons of free drinks for crew to take and in return they need to show the actresses drinking it on tv for company awareness but often they just put the can of drink in the background but the image it so blur and small, you dont even notice it on tv. local bands often manipulated to provide free music for film production to use as soundtrack. local clothing brands and even big branded labels provide their outfits to be ‘borrowed’ for wardrobe but its rarely returned and the ones who steal it is the film productions.

    This is why singapores local artists cant succeed. they dont pay the actors well, they dont pay the musicians, local clothing brands get taken advantage.

    I act in Kuala Lumpur half the time because they pay us more in malaysia! ever notice how celebrities and musicians have a strong fanbase in malaysia? because they are all paid well and all talents in all prospects are being looked after. In sg, you have no other option but to take what you get.

    its sad to see broken dreams of actresses and actors once they realise they can’t keep up with such peanuts pay. its sad to see them showing their talents on tv and being a STAR for a year but then the next year disappear forever from the acting scene and becoming just normal people.

    producers often bully the workers. they make them do things out of their jobscope. For example, one producer i worked with made his production assistant book a hotel for him with her name so that he can pangkeng with a wannabe actress. at the end of it, the wannabe actress wasnt even selected for the show and the production assistant never got the money back

    is this fair?
