  • Seniwati Zaiton Dan Artis-Artis Veteran Jalan Ampas Muncul Di Kg Gelam

    Seniwati Zaiton Dan Artis-Artis Veteran Jalan Ampas Muncul Di Kg Gelam

    Mereka sudah lama tidak muncul di khalayak ramai. Namun seniwati Zaiton, K. Fatimah, Sri Dewi, Rahmah Hassan, dan seniman Zaini Sattar berkumpul di Singapura baru-baru ini.

    Lebih 70 orang peminat dan pengunjung juga berkesempatan untuk bergambar bersama artis-artis veteran Jalan Ampas itu, yang pernah menempa kemasyhuran di era kegemilangan zaman filem hitam-putih di Singapura.

    Semua ini anjuran Ahli Filem & Muzik Klasik Melayu Singapura, sebuah kelab berwadahkan media sosial. Para anggotanya menganjurkan program lawatan ke studio Jalan Ampas, diikuti dengan acara santai berhibur sambil menjamu selera di kafe Kaw Kaw Sg, di Aliwal Street, Sabtu lalu (5 Nov).

    Acara perjumpaan berkenaan diadakan demi mengingati dan menghargai pengorbanan dan sumbangan para seniman dan seniwati Jalan Ampas itu.

    ZAITON DARI BUJANG LAPOK SIBUK LAYAN PEMINAT

    Seniwati Zaiton (Zaiton Abdullah) yang cukup dikenali sebagai watak ‘Jeyton’ di dalam filem Seniman Bujang Lapok, dilihat cukup berseri dan sibuk melayani para peminat yang ingin bergambar dengannya.

    Perjumpaan ‘Mengenang Pelakon Malay FIlem Productions’ oleh aktivis-aktivis peminat filem-filem klasik Melayu Singapura itu hasil inisiatif Encik Nazran Hamid, 56 tahun, penulis blog Ukhti Aminah serta rakan-rakan lain seperti, Azlan Mohamed Said, Pengaji muzik Nusantara, Saedah Samat-Alkaff seorang guru muzik professional serta penyanyi Fir Ramlee dan Rudy Djoharnaen.

    Menurut Encik Nazran, menerusi program ini, diharapkan para ahli Filem & Muzik Klasik Melayu di Singapura khususnya, dapat mengetahui lebih dalam lagi mengenai sejarah perfileman Melayu Singapura di masa dahulu.

    “Saya berpendapat, dengan mengadakan acara di Singapura ini peminat-peminat kelab di sini boleh menghadirinya dengan mudah dan dapat melihat sendiri bagaimana gahnya arena seni perfileman Melayu kita pada suatu masa dahulu, terutama sekali dunia perfileman di era tahun 1950-an dan 1960-an.

    “Di samping itu juga, saya dapat mengetahui kisah dan penglibatan ibu-bapa saya sendiri ketika mereka bekerja di Jalan Ampas dahulu,” jelas Encik Nazran yang merupakan anak kepada bintang terkenal seniwati jelita, Mariani (Allahyarhamah) atau nama sebenarnya Mariam Ismail. Bapanya pula adalah seorang Penolong Pengarah dan Penulis Lirik lagu, Allahyarham H.M. Rohaizat.

    ADIK AZIZ SATTAR MAHU PROGRAM PERJUMPAAN DITERUSKAN

    Acara privet itu, walaupun kecil mendapat sambutan yang menggalakkan daripada para ahli kelab itu dan juga peminat-peminat filem-filem klasik.

    Para hadirin diserikan dengan nyayian lagu-lagu Melayu klasik malar segar dendangan merdu dari artis-artis popular seperti Kamaliah Latiff, Rudy Djoharnaen, Fir Ramlee dan bakat baru di persada seni suara, Mai Dhaniyah. Pengarah muzik bagi acara ini adalah, Cik Saedah Samat-Alkaff.

    Bagi pelakon Zaini Sattar, iaitu adik kepada seniman Aziz Sattar, program perjumpaan sebegini harus diteruskan oleh peminat-peminat atau penggiat filem Melayu setempat. Menurut Pak Zaini lagi, perjumpaan sebegini boleh menggamit kenangan dan mengingati kisah-kisah manis ketika bekerja di Jalan Ampas dahulu, sambil mengeratkan lagi silaturrahim sesama mereka.

    “TINGGAL BERAPA KERAT SAJA…”

    “Bayangkanlah tinggal berapa kerat saja lagi orang-orang lama (pelakon Jalan Ampas) yang masih hidup. Kami semua memang rapat. Bagi Uncle, acara sebegini memang baik dan harus diteruskan. Mungkin boleh buat lebih besar dan gah lagi.

    Uncle berharap generasi muda dapat mengetahui sejarah perfileman Melayu kita waktu dulu. Artis-artis ini memang hebat dan berbakat besar! Mereka semua berkarya dengan sungguh ikhlas dan dari hati,” ujar anak seni veteran berusia 83 tahun dan dianggap sebagai ‘wakil’ dari Jalan Ampas ini.

    Antara yang turut menghadiri acara ini adalah Cik Som Said, Pengasas Sri Warisan, Presiden Perkamus, Cikgu Yusnor Eff, Kartunis tersohor dari Malaysia, Datuk Lat, dan wakil dari Perbadanan Kemajuan Filem Nasional Malaysia (FINAS).

    Penulis lirik terkenal, Cikgu Yusnor Eff, 80 tahun berpendapat, acara murni sebegini seperti mengingati artis-artis lama Jalan Ampas harus diteruskan dan dipelihara sejarah demi mengetahui perkembangan dan perindustrian perfileman Melayu kita sendiri.

    “Bagi saya, mereka ini bak ‘khazanah’ dan permata perfileman dan warisan Melayu kita. Generasi akan datang perlu mengambil tahu dan mengetahui asal usul dunia perfileman Melayu kita, khsususnya di Jalan Ampas.

    “Oleh yang demikian, saya telah pun menyiapkan rancangan dokumentari sebanyak 39 episod, menyingkap sejarah dan perkembangan dunia perfileman Melayu kita sendiri, agar kisah ini tidak hanyut ditelan zaman” ujar Encik Yusnor, yang enerima anugerah Pingat Budaya pada tahun 2011.

    Di akhir acara ini, setiap seniman dan seniwati telah pun diberikan cendarhati lukisan water colour dari Rudy Djoharnaen sendiri sebagai menghargai sumbangan besar mereka di persada seni dan perfileman Melayu, suatu ketika dulu.

    SEDIKIT LATAR BELAKANG FILEM MELAYU LAMA

    Tahukah anda, filem Melayu pertama telah diterbitkan di Singapura pada tahun 1933, dan pada tahun 1939 Momo Latiff telah menjadi heroin dalam filem Laila Majnun terbitan Shaw. Malangnya filem-filem ini telah pupus sewaktu perang dunia kedua tercetus.

    Setelah tamat peperangan, pasangan adik-beradik dari China, Runme dan Run Run Shaw atau juga dikenali sebagai Shaw Brothers, sekali lagi membina semula studio perfileman mereka pada tahun 1945 dan menamakan studio itu dengan panggilan studio ‘Malay Film Productions’(MFP) yang masih utuh bangunannya dan terletak di lokasi yang sama, iaitu di No 8, Jalan Ampas.

    Ketika di studio Jalan Ampas inilah bermulanya perjalanan seni dan lahirnya nama-nama hebat seniman dan seniwati seperti Tan Sri P.Ramlee, Puan Sri Saloma, Datuk Aziz Sattar, Datuk Mustapha Maarof, Datuk Sarimah Ahmad, S. Shamsudin, Zaiton dan ramai lagi yang telah menghiasi dan mewarnai dunia perfileman Melayu kita.

    Walaupun ada yang sudah meninggalkan kita lebih empat dekad yang lalu, namun lakonan mereka masih diingati dan disanjungi hingga kini dan diminati juga oleh generasi muda kita.

    Apa yang lebih menarik lagi, para legenda ini pernah mendapat jolokan sebagai bintang ‘Hollywod Filem Melayu’ suatu ketika dulu.

  • Singaporeans In Ringgit Buying Spree

    Singaporeans In Ringgit Buying Spree

    The Malaysian ringgit tumbled to a 12-year low in offshore markets yesterday, sending some Singaporeans into a buying frenzy.

    One Central District money changer told The New Paper that his stock of RM300,000 (S$96,000) was sold out in four hours.

    Emerging stock markets and their currencies have been hit by fears that once Mr Donald Trump assumes the US presidency, higher interest rates would spark capital outflows from this region.

    At 10am yesterday, the ringgit was trading at 3.1504 per Singdollar according to currency conversion app XE Currency. The rate shown on the app is usually higher than what is offered at the money changers.

    By noon, it was at 3.0351 at AR Money Exchange at Junction 8. By 2pm, it was between 3.035 and 3.05 at eight money changers at The Arcade in Collyer Quay.

    Money changers there told TNP they saw a surge of customers buying ringgit yesterday .

    Aksha Exchange opened its shutters at 10am and ran out of its stock of RM300,000 by 2pm.

    Its owner said: “We didn’t expect to run out. So many people came to buy.

    “One week ago, S$1 was RM3. Today, it is RM3.04.”

    Since Mr Trump won in the Nov 8 election, the money changer has noticed a 30 per cent increase in the number of customers buying ringgit.

    This was echoed by Arcade Plaza Traders’ administration manager, Mr Deen: “Forty to 50 per cent of our customers today bought ringgit. ”

    Mr Trump’s pro-growth message in his acceptance speech had sent US stock markets and the US dollar soaring. (See report below.)

    The president-elect even had a cordial midday meeting yesterday with US President Barack Obama that had a positive impact in the US. (See report below.)

    But it was bad news for emerging markets, including Singapore.

    Even in the queues, there were winners and losers.

    Shop manager Niel Hoh, 28, who makes a trip to Malaysia every two months, saved more than $200.

    “I bought RM10,000 for S$3,278.69 today. Two weeks ago, I bought only RM1,500, S$1 was around RM2.90.”

    But permanent resident David Wong, 55, who works in a Malaysia real estate firm, felt the pinch.

    He sold RM20,000, and got about S$6,500 – about S$200 lower than what he would have got four weeks ago.

    Money Changers Association Second vice-president Danny Yoong, 48, observed that ringgit-buying remained stable in the past few weeks.

    Mr Yoong, who also owns Bon Voyage Money Changer, said: “But there are signs that the ringgit is weakening, and demand for ringgit may become high.

    “There are also some customers who wait to see whether the ringgit rate will go down even further.”

    He added that the Singdollar is not doing well against the US dollar, and sees a 10 per cent increase in people selling US dollar.

    ELECTION

    “Before the election, Singdollar was trading at 1.38 to 1.39 per US dollar, but it became around 1.400 to 1.415 after the election,” said Mr Yoong.

    At 8.56am, the Singdollar was trading at 1.4135 per US dollar – down 0.57 per cent from its close of 1.4054 the previous day.

    Bank Negara Malaysia governor Muhammad Ibrahim sought to assure Malaysians that the ringgit’s fall is due to speculation among investors and not the country’s fundamentals.

    But senior economist at Mizuho Singapore, Mr Vishnu Varathan, said the plummeting ringgit will have a short-term impact on the cost of living of Malaysians and Singapore.

    He said: “We have many cross-border transactions and involvements. The ringgit also features heavily in Singapore’s basket of currencies, so the Singdollar will also be affected.”

    The Singapore stock market continued its fall following Mr Trump’s victory.

    After Wednesday’s knee-jerk losses, The Straits Times Index continued its downtrend and ended 19.49 points, or 0.69 per cent, lower to 2,814.6, taking the year-to-date performance to -2.36 per cent.

  • Ilhan Fandi To Move To England To Further Football Education

    Ilhan Fandi To Move To England To Further Football Education

    The third son of Singapore legend Fandi Ahmad could well be headed to England next year to further his footballing development.

    TODAY reported last month that Ilhan Fandi, 13, travelled to York to train with the i2i Football Academy, with a view to finding a suitable school for him. This will allow him to stay in England and join an English club’s academy in due time.

    Fandi revealed yesterday that Ilhan, who trained daily there, is keen on a permanent return, even though he will be on his own.

    “We just (wanted to) find out whether he can stay alone; he said he is quite happy to try,” said the 54-year-old on the sidelines of a TAG Heuer event at Wisma Atria. “The boys there were much bigger (than him), but he enjoyed it.

    “He’s okay with it so far … We’ll see. The most important thing is that the education system there is good; we hope we can enrol him.”

    Fandi added that a possible school has already been identified: The Queen Ethelburga’s College, which caters to ages 14 to 19 and offers a traditional curriculum that includes A-Level.

    He explained that Ilhan has already taken an aptitude test at the college and the family is waiting for the results, but the earliest possible enrolment will be in September next year. In the meantime, Ilhan will continue his studies here.

    Fandi is also looking to send Ilhan there for “seven to 10 days” during next year’s March holidays to allow him another chance to acclimatise.

    “It’s still a long way (until September) and we don’t know whether he will change his mind,” he explained. “That’s why maybe next year … we’ll send him there (again), see how he feels; we don’t want him to be homesick, even though it’s a boarding school.”

    He added that Ilhan is keen to follow in the footsteps of his elder brothers, Irfan and Ikhsan, who both spent time training and playing in Chile.

    All four were present to grace yesterday’s event at Wisma Atria, held in conjunction with tomorrow’s Battle of Europe 2016 clash between England Masters and Germany Masters.
