how times have grown for phua chu kang, and gurmit singh of course, propelling him to stardom unimaginable when he first started out .
kota kinabalu – actor and comedian gurmit singh, popularly known for his role as the boorish contractor phua chu kang in singapore’s english tv sitcom phua chua kang pte ltd, says the most important priority in his life these days is his family .
apparently, what many singaporeans don’t know about phua chu kang is that while he’s passé in singapore, he has a big following in malaysia .
an hour into the insult to the audience that is phua chu kang the movie, my mind, wild with rage, fantasised a grisly end to a character long ago bled dry of any entertainment value .
since then, the company has put its money into films with a strong singapore participation, including twisted, perfect rivals, phua chu kang the movie and the upcoming 23: 59 and we not naughty .
singapore' s favourite yellow - booted contractor phua chu kang has made the leap from small screen to silver screen. and it ain' t pretty .
so even though i’m the writer of phua chu kang the movie, which will be released on aug 12, i haven’t seen it (and don' t intend to), so i don’t know how much of my script is actually in the completed movie .
everything about it was low - budget sitcom standard - issue, from the cheap sets to the obvious jokes to the flabby plots. but the character of phua chu kang knocked viewers out .
there is a lot of potential in bringing an already rock - steady brand like phua chu kang to the movies. unfortunately, it is squandered here with the strange choice of story .

however, things get complicated when chu kang' s nemesis, contractor frankie foo (lim kay siu), finds out about the lucrative deal and heads to malaysia to wrest it from chu kang, while lim begins to make romantic overtures towards rosie and chu kang finds out about a long - kept family secret that threatens to change his life completely .
it has been ten years since the singapore - made television sitcom
phua chu kang pte ltd
( pck) first aired on channel 5 before going on to inspire a theatre production .
the phua chu kang character made his first appearance in the second season of
gurmit' s world
, a comedy in which gurmit singh portrayed his' relatives' in a series of skits .
while not exactly a - laugh - a - minute like the sitcom that it spun off from ,
phua chu kang the movie
is nonetheless peppered with hilarious situations, side - splitting antics and well - delivered jokes that reflect the cast' s comedic talents .
phua chu kang is a comedy about family dynamics - and the family we know from tv is nowhere to be seen. there' s no one to play the straight man to chu kang' s over - the - top bengness here, so everyone has a go at being wacky. this is a movie where characters often talk to themselves - and to fish, on more than one occasion .
phua chu kang’s character is wildly inconsistent from scene to scene. is he smart or stupid? is he selfish or generous? nobody knows, least of all the film’s writing team and director boris boo .
ask gurmit singh if he ever tires of playing phua chu kang – the “ah beng” contractor in yucky yellow wellies with a curly mop and prominent mole to boot – chances are the gifted comedian will tell you never .
this was before we knew anything about the malaysian series or the movie or the webisodes .
but for fans of the funnyman, who soared to fame as contractor phua chu kang, it’s best not to get your hopes up too high. his new hosting gig does not mark a permanent return to the limelight .
about two hours after dropping my mother and sister off at the pck movie screening, i called to ask them what they thought of the movie .
however, the 45 - year - old believes that pck should evolve. that is why for his latest offering, phua chu kang the movie, gurmit and his film director boris boo have added more dimension and emotional depth to our endearing contractor – the best in singapore, jb and some say batam .
i helped rehabilitate the brand enough that people wanted to make the malaysian series and the movie .
“if the audience still loves me, i’ll act till i become grandpa chu kang, ” says gurmit laughingly during an interview in kuala lumpur last week .
phua chu kang the movie
definitely brings back good reminiscence of the tv series, seeing as the characters hadn' t changed one bit and we are reminded of popular catchphrases like
don' t play play
,
abuden
,
use your brain !
and chu kang' s laughable mole twitch movement. some gags served to be quite amusing, while others fell flat with weak wordplay and slapstick which seemed aimed at younger audiences. moreover, the lengthy storyline could' ve been better without unnecessary supporting character subplots like king kong' s (charlie tan)' tauhey break' romance with lau pek' s assistant angel (angie seow) and overly stretched chase sequences between the good guys and the baddies. the ending also didn' t quite make
phua chu kang the movie
memorable enough pertaining to an obvious fraud unveiling and a supposedly
touching
scene involving chu kang' s elderly relative .
sibling phua chu beng and his wife margaret (played by pierre png and tan kheng hua in the singapore series) do not make an appearance in this film, but chu kang’s rival frankie foo (lim kay siu) does pop in, competing with pck for the job of building the next wave of retirement homes .
the show ran for eight seasons on mediacorp tv channel 5 from september 1997 to february 2007 and subsequently led to a spin - off, phua chu kang sdn bhd produced fully in malaysia and aired on ntv7 in 2009 and 2010 .
entry he hasn’t seen the finished movie and has no intention to do so .
please rate this movie. you may write a review in the space below .
mediacorp itself has little to do with the production or financing of the movie, although many of the people involved in the movie, including myself, are ex - mediacorp employees .
characters in a tv series must grow with every season, but the sitcom, from the time it wrapped in singapore in 2007 to its current status as the spinoff phua chu kang sdn. bhd. in malaysia last year, has stubbornly gone in the opposite direction .
the phua chu kang (pck) phenomenon is an odd one and there’s no escaping singapore’s most famous tv ah beng, a character gurmit singh has made his own so much so he lapses into pck ever so often in whatever he does .
one day, chu kang' s mum ah ma (neo swee lin) pays them a visit, but separates from them at a shopping mall .
chu kang and rosie (gurmit singh and irene ang) - as last seen on tv' s phua chu kang sdn bhd - are now based in kuala lumpur. ah ma (neo swee lin) comes to visit but it isn' t quite the social call they were expecting - she' s really in kl to look after chu kang' s abusive, thought - to - be - dead grandfather (also played by gurmit) because the old man suspects someone is killing off the residents in the old folks' home run by the icky lim lau pek (henry thia) .

i' m not talking high - brow here. nobody' s expecting the royal tenenbaums - pck needs to be knee - slappingly mass. but things get so silly in this film, it makes phua chu kang the tv series look like 30 rock .
directed by boris boo, who last collaborated with jack neo in the horror comedy

,
phua chu kang the movie
puts focus onto chu kang and his slimmed - down wife rosie (irene ang), both of whom have not lost touch with their alter ego, together with ah ma (neo swee lin) and chu kang' s archenemy frankie foo (lim kay siu). in addition to the show, we see henry thia as lim lau pek, the despicable ceo of siao soon old folks home, who oddly enough has the hots for rosie. be sure to watch out for a daring smooch between those two !
but overall, i was happy with that final season of pck. it ended the series on a good enough note that there was a demand for a sequel, which was produced two years later in malaysia, called phua chu kang sdn bhd .
these days, gurmit continues to be a freelance host at events both here and across the causeway, where his phua chu kang character is still very much in demand. he will also star in upcoming cosplay - themed local film young & fabulous .
had arranged two tickets for me to attend the movie’s “gala” premiere two weeks ago .
movies already released and starring a mainly singapore cast working in malaysia include this year’s crop, such as the comedies perfect rivals (starring irene ang and shot in penang) and homecoming (starring jack neo and mark lee). phua chu kang the movie, featuring singaporean funnyman gurmit singh, was shot in malaysia and released last year .
producing that last episode was tricky. although the show was ending, we knew it wasn' t the end of the phua chu kang character (s). we knew we couldn' t, say, kill him off. or have pck and rosie get a divorce .
the success of the movie led to a dispute between neo and jsp films over their shares of the profits .
in the debut season of the show, edwin chong played phua chu beng but ceased to be in the cast as of season 2. pierre permanently took over the role from the second season and has made the role popular ever since .

i’m sending my wife to watch the pck movie today. she better not fall asleep .
s m ong: pck movie: the reviews are in... and mean !
like pck sdn bhd, the movie was set and filmed in malaysia to cut cost .
instead of trying to maintain pck pte ltd in its permanent vegetative state, mediacorp must pull the plug and use the money to invest in new actors, writers and producers. go find the next phua chu kang. that, to use one of his phrases, would be using your brain .
can' t find a movie or tv show? login to create it .
director boris boo (where got ghost ?) has realised the script of phua chu kang series scribe s m ong as a workmanlike effort, and even though he employs a scattershot approach – just fire jokes in great volume all over the place, rhyme or reason be damned – the humour thoroughly misses the mark .
“doing a tv or movie production can take a huge amount of your time. i was doing phua chu kang, dramas, my own talk show and hosting a whole lot of other programmes to a point where i was doing almost two shows in a day. there was hardly time for any breaks in between shows. i did that for 20 years .
the views shared reflects the personal opinion of some movie club members and are not a representation of golden village .
fans of phua chu kang pte ltd will remember the character’s trademark curly hair, huge mole on his face, long finger nails and yellow boots and most of all his clichés “best in singapore, jb and some say batam” and “don’t play play” which he pronounced as ”pray pray” in broken english .

phua chu kang (gurmit singh) is no longer the best contractor in singapore. he’s moved up to kl, along with his wife rosie (irene ang) and drives a silver mercedes benz. he picks up his mother (neo swee lin) and she promptly disappears as the phuas visit a mall .
i had seen the pck movie trailer and was dismayed by the number of things in it that i didn’t write .
his first movie blockbuster role, playing as ‘mr - foo (mr. pink colour), was the lead supporting cast in the kelvin tong’s local movie men - in - white. after the success launch of the movie, an internet voting was conducted and mr - foo’s role brought a 153% increase in ckay’s popularity .
husband and wife decide the only way to keep an eye on things is to take up the job of renovating the home with chu kang' s arch nemesis frankie foo (lim kay siu). snarling, bumbling and painting ensue .
her excuse: it was like a jack neo movie and therefore, she was not the target audience .
the movie was released on 12 th august 2010 staring gurmit singh, neo swee lin, irene ang, lim kay siu and charlie tan. the movie runs for 99 minutes and was directed by boris boo .
the cross - border popularity of the english - speaking gurmit singh (who plays the protagonist phua chu kang) and chinese - speaking jack neo also held a lesson: it made financial sense to see singapore and malaysia as one market since they both enjoy largely the same types of entertainment, says ong. both countries’ accents also mesh well, she adds .
hohohoo... . am sooo gonna love this one. . hahah... legendary mister phua
who would' ve thought that phua chu kang (gurmit singh), best in singapore, jb and some say batam, would return to make his big screen debut within the clever setting of kuala lumpur (pronounced' kuara rumpur' in pck' s ah beng slang) instead of singapore. thus, an excuse to set aside pck' s nerdy brother chu beng, his vegetarian wife margaret and their son aloysius .
singh and his employer mediacorp could have chosen the classy option some years ago. phua chu kang would have been a fond memory and a cult phenomenon, like david brent from the original bbc production of the hit sitcom the office. instead, the contractor has become the fonz from the american sitcom happy days, who by refusing to acknowledge his sell - by date, went from being cool to being a joke .
at a press conference in penang, the first question asked of saw was whether his non - penangite actors could pull - off the local dialect with its distinctive singsong lilt. of the 10 performers in his cast, eight including chelsia ng are from penang. singapore’s neo swee lin (of phua chu kang fame) and frederick lee from malacca take on the lead roles in the production .
the producers had paid mediacorp a lot of money for the rights to make the movie and hired me to write it last year practically at the last minute .
also, it is a bit of a pity that some members of the original pck cast such as chu kang' s brother chu beng, and his wife margaret (played by pierre png and tan kheng hua) did not manage to make an appearance in the film, as i am sure they would have added a lot more flavour it .
ah goon is the worker replacing ah boon and ah soon who also played as chu kang' s employees in the earlier episodes. they are related as cousins in the series. they also appeared together in an episode featuring them as an upcoming boy band .
in the movie, ah ma is actually (spoiler alert !) trying to prevent pck from getting the job by ...
well, .... i just watch this movie. and this movie is only focus on chu kang & rosie only. chu beng is only available in the begining part (little chu beng) and no margaret as well. as for the pck worker... . only 1 person which is king kong only. this movie is flim in malaysia which youcan see most places in film in kl (berjaya times square, petaling street, tian hou temple) and that old folks home i dun think is film in kl. probably in penang (which i think is familiar to me) there are few deleted scenes as well... . anyone here who can tell me who acts the
angel
which is king kong' s gf (the assistant manager of old folks home) ?

yohoo! ! the movie is nice! funny also. . lim lau pek' s brother is lim lau hia lol
watch this movie yesterday with my classmate. i am not hardcore fans of pck and i din reli chase the series .
the movie had a clear narrative that progressed towards a conclusion instead of falling into the trap of behaving too much like an oversized sitcom episode .
as pck pte ltd has found a new lease of life in kuala lumpur, chu kang and rosie sets of to fetch ah ma upon her arrival in kl, but soon goes missing in a mall and later discovered at a retirement home run by lim lau pek. unexpectedly, chu kang lands himself renovation work for the home, wanting to find out the reason for ah ma' s behaviour, while competing against frankie foo, who also has the job deal. inevitably, the phuas discover something sinister and corrupt behind the friendly - faced lau pek .
too bad for me i wasn' t the executive producer and director of the pck movie, like i was of the original tv show' s final season .
phua chu kang pte ltd won
best comedy programme
at the asian television awards for six consecutive years from 1998 - 2003. the cast also won
best comedy performance by an actress
- neo swee lin (1999), tan kheng hua (2001) and irene ang (2002) as well as
best comedy performance by an actor
- gurmit singh (1998 - 2001 & 2003) .
but you still have to give the story and scriptwriters credit in getting creative with the setting, because having to relocate to kl, and setting the entire film there, means the narrative can do away with pck' s brother phua chu beng, his wife margaret, and the kids, putting focus instead on chu kang (gurmit singh) and his vain wife rosie (irene ang), both of whom are really comfortable in their roles like hand in glove, bringing back familiar faces like ah ma (neo swee lin) and pck arch - rival frankie foo (lim kay siu) .
review described the movie as
initially fresh and amusing but ultimately too one - note and local in its humor to travel far
.
the plot revolves around phua chu kang (gurmit singh) being persuaded by his mother ah ma (neo swee lin) to bid for a contract to renovate the heaven can wait old folk’s home owned by the unscrupulous lim lau pek (henry thia). although he is not sure why ah ma wants so badly for him to get the job, he agrees to do it anyway when he finds out that his arch - rival frankie foo (lim kay siu) is also bidding for the same contract .
the publication also mentioned that the pck movie has been in development for a decade, awaiting the “perfect script” to come along. as flattering as that may be, i know the truth is something else .
support the movie (otherwise i wouldn’t be forcing my own flesh and blood to sit through it) – i just didn’t want to see it .
how could she fell asleep in the middle of her big brother' s movie at its “gala” premiere? that was just, well, rude .
my former employer (which also owns 8 days, by the way) had been interested in doing a pck movie since the' 90s, but could never pull the trigger. (even i was asked to come up with a pck movie idea one during my mediacorp days, but nothing came of it. )
the plot revolves around phua chu kang (gurmit singth) being persuaded by his mother ah ma (neo swee lin) to bid for a contract to renovate the heaven can wait old folk' s home owned by the unscrupulous lim lau pek (henry thia). although he is not sure why ah ma wants so badly for him to get the job, he agrees to do it anyway when he finds out that his arch - rival frankie foo (lim kay siu) is also bidding for the same contract .
synopsis: the plot revolves around phua chu kang (gurmit singth) being persuaded by his mother ah ma (neo swee lin) to bid for a contract to renovate the heaven can wait old folk’s home owned by the unscrupulous lim lau pek (henry thia). although he is not sure why ah ma wants so badly for him to get the job, he agrees to do it anyway when he finds out that his arch - rival frankie foo (lim kay siu) is also bidding for the same contract .
the movie hits its lowest point in the part where the cops come for baddie lim lau pek (played by henry thia). look to his character’s name, by the way, for a clue about the movie’s brand of classy comedy. the arrest scene aims for pink panther - style hide - and - seek hijinks, but what emerges is wildly incoherent and insultingly lazy .

well, if u r pck hardcore fans, probably u' ll find out that this movie not as good as tv series .

there’s an old joke about the dumb blonde trying to get ahead in hollywood by sleeping with the screenwriter. for an enactment of the joke, you can watch heather graham as said blonde in the 1999 movie bowfinger .
somewhat agree. looks like a pathetic attempt to cash in from this sad, dying franchise. but for nostalgic reasons, i might check the movie out .
haha i just watch the movie dy... very funny like hell from start till the bust scenes... gotta kudos the local policemen 4 acting that bust so well like betul2 capturing the bank robber like that
the exception is when the writer also happens to be the director - and even producer - of the movie, like say, avatar’s james cameron and inception’s christopher nolan. and look how badly those two movies turned out .

singh, in a recent interview, has said he is proud of the movie and of the character and will keep on doing pck as long as the public still wants him. is he being deliberately naive ?
phua chu kang, the classic character played by gurmit singh, is well - known for his catchphrase, “don’t play play”. the contractor constantly claims that he is “best in singapore, jb and some say batam”. coupled with his trademark yellow boots, curly hair and a distinct facial mole, this character has never failed to put a smile on viewers’ faces. together with his workers and his wife, rosy, played by irene ang, the couple soon became a sensation and they even put up a musical at kallang indoor stadium back in 2005 .
in addition, pck handed out clues at one of the detours of the amazing race 3. participants in the race were required to locate an hdb apartment in choa chu kang, singapore where they would be given the clues by pck. apparently, the original idea was to have pck at the pit stop alongside phil keoghan (at the end of every stage of the amazing race, there would be a local person dressed in traditional clothing welcoming the contestants to the country), but singaporeans protested that this would give foreigners the wrong impression of the local people in general. [ 1 ]
as if to make me feel better, my sister said that many people (but not her) enjoyed jack neo movies and so the pck movie should be very successful .
the movie takes a clumsy stab at parent - dumping, but never really tries to get any satirical mileage out of the issue. meanwhile, the differences between malaysians and singaporeans could have also generated many opportunities at humour .
so how do you tell if a pck movie synopsis is the right one? if it says that pck is persuaded by ah ma to bid for a job, it’s not .
director boo explains, “we want to keep the spirit of pck. but we need to add depth and emotion to the movie. but then again with pck, you can’t have too much depth. ”
if a two - minute trailer could cause me so much stress, sitting through the 100 - minute movie could give me a cardiac arrest. i’m not a young man any more .
he locates her at a retirement home run by lim lau pek (henry thia), who lures phua to do some renovation work for the home by dangling the prospect of a multi - million - dollar deal on other retirement homes throughout the country .
to say pck the movie is a half - baked and rough effort could well be the understatement of the year as it’s neither original, clever nor grand enough to warrant a big - screen outing. yet the guffaws from the near - capacity crowd on the weekday afternoon screening we attended told a completely story .
the movie received a mixed critical reception with urltoken commending the film as
an effective satire of... singaporean culture
and noted that the actors
do a credible job representing characters from singapore' s varying social strata
,
the movie is bad in the same way bad mediacorp sitcoms are bad, only it is much, much longer. grimaces and howls replace acting. primary school - level hokkien puns abound. the chaotic plot feels thrown together from three episodes fished from the discard pile .
after so long... . now only comes out movie... pck is legendary already to me. . hope they dont spoil this one ...
haha! ! i still laughing about lin lao beh & lin lao hia. this guy is really funny... my favourite character in this movie ...
that was why long - time jack neo accomplices boris boo and henry thia were hired to direct and ham it up in the pck movie respectively. it even has a lot of hokkien and bad
you may only select up to 5 movies for the my favourite movies list. please remove movie (s) from my favourite movies list if you wish to select a new title .
this lovable character, an elderly lady is played by local comedy director, jack neo. many viewers remember her by adorable chuckle, the “huhuhu” that she oftens include with her speeches and also the way she walks and scuttles around with a hunched back. in the movie, she sets foot on a topsy - turvy journey that will educate, create laughter and yet tug at the heart strings of many as the movie discusses some issues that singaporeans may be concerned about .
if singh wants to trot out pck at company dinners or in a nostalgia lounge, more power to him. but please, for the love of everything holy, keep phua and his family out of the cinemas or prime - time tv .
the legend of the guardians: the owls of ga' hoole ...
i told him i was taking my mother and sister. oh, he said, he would arrange a third ticket for me. i told him not to because i was skipping the movie screening .
the recent horror movie twisted serves up plenty of scares. but viewers might get an eerie feeling of another sort as they watch singapore actor mark lee battle with a flying demon on a deserted road .
ya la. . not bad de actually... we' re not movie critics. . paid for your tickets already. . why dont you just enjoy. .
almost every major commercial movie project released this year featuring singapore investment and talent will be shot partly or completely on location in kuala lumpur, penang or some other malaysian city .
the 2010 low - budget malaysian romance - drama ice kacang puppy love, a labour of love by taiwan - based malaysian musician a - niu, came and went without a murmur in singapore cinemas. but in its home country, the movie written, directed by, and starring a - niu made hard - nosed industry executives sit up: it grossed rm4mil, the highest box office profit at that time for a domestically made chinese - language movie .

over the years, i have observed the ebb and flow of the popularity of pck .
from what i' ve heard... it is absolutely nothing more than milking a dead cow. besides, a movie made from a tv show is compulsory to have' all' the main characters in. right? well, this movie it seems does not have chu beng and his wife margaret! wth? ? anyone who even watch a single episode of pck pvt ltd knows both of them are definitely part of the main pck clan. worse, the plot is said to be the worst ever. they tried to put too many things into the plot but completely fell flat. ok. show' s over. this is absolulely a pass. no need watch. i didn' t. and i' m not planning to .
his style owed a lot to jim carrey but everyone was stealing from the american actor during that period. the problem is that today, singh still plays pck like the way carrey played ace ventura: pet detective, a movie released 15 years ago. the comedy world has moved on, but someone forgot to send a memo to the pck creative team .
, who was one of the writers for the original pck series, have managed to translate the spirit of the television series onto the film medium quite well .
the argument about the dilution of the singapore identity in films also made little headway, given that the job of the commercial film industry is to make money .

the movie received a mixed critical reception with urltoken commending the film as
an effective satire of... singaporean culture
and noted that the actors
do a credible job representing characters from singapore' s varying social strata
, [ 14 ] while a variety review described the movie as
initially fresh and amusing but ultimately too one - note and local in its humor to travel far
. [ 1 ] francis dass of the new straits times wrote that money no enough was
spot - on
and
funny
, but criticised the
clichéd script and the director' s penchant for melodrama
. [ 15 ]
pck has also appeared on two tv advertisements. he, along with chu beng, made his first advertisement appearance regarding the introduction of 3g mobile services and phones in malaysia by maxis and recently, an advertisement called bob' s big surprise. [ 5 ]

to b honest i felt this movie not good enuf. the joke was kinda lame and it seem i am forcing myself to laugh on it lol. . but storyline wise still acceptable for me. no bloody scene or violence, so is safe to watch .
in an attempt to flesh out tv material for a feature - length movie transition, the film - makers have attempted to layer on emotional depth and
up
the action - literally - by turning a family comedy into a crime - caper slash mystery - adventure fit for the scooby gang. only with old people instead of ghosts .
“you can see pck in a whole new light, ” gurmit enthuses. “it’s hard to be emotional. the audience is used to him being larger than life, and storming off whenever he’s unhappy about something. but because it’s a 90 - minute movie, we have the privilege of sussing out his real character and the others’. ”
a pointless double ending finishes the film, and the credits indicate there’ll be a sequel. if that’s the case, then the biggest joke here might really be on the audience .
if there’s anything we can be thankful for, it’s obvious the movie is made for malaysians and is riding on its renewed interest there. for once, we won’t challenge our neighbours for trying to turn something of ours into their own but in the interest of our newly renewed cross - straits relationship, here’s the deal: take pck and let us take the credit for inventing bak kut teh .

then just when you thought the series, pck pte ltd, has run its course, it gets snapped up by networks across the causeway where the spin - off, pck sdn bhd, has been entertaining malaysians since last year. its runaway success has prompted various malaysian production companies to finance this movie, which explains why pck is now obliged to add cantonese to the rojak blend of singlish and hokkien he spouts .

inside the dream script, rosie, his wife played by irene ang, would get her lover, frankie foo (lim kay siu), to run him over with a bulldozer and bury his body in concrete. the concrete would be in the foundation of an english - language school, naturally. foo should in turn be poisoned by rosie, who would ride off on the back of labourer king kong’s motorcycle, its spinning tyres leaving a black streak on the slab over phua’s corpse .
but he’s careful to add that he’s taken artistic liberties in his recounting of a filmmaker who returns to his hometown to make a movie about his family and reconcile with the past. “as much as i say it’s a personal story, i want to qualify that it’s not completely autobiographical, ” saw says .
lower costs are a big draw for singapore filmmakers, obviously. a typical movie budget of s $ 1mil (rm2. 5mil) goes much further in malaysia, with the greatest savings coming from equipment rental and crew salaries. experienced hands, honed by years of experience in the thriving malay - language feature film industry, are also readily available .

but the 2000 president star charity featuring the first pck musical was well - received .
