The Big Durian
On the night of 18 October, 1987, a soldier ran amok with an M16 in the area of Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. Due to the thorny circumstances of the time and place, his amok triggered a citywide panic and rumours of racial riots. Why did he do it? Why were Malaysians so jittery at the time? And what happened next? “The Big Durian” speaks to several Malaysians (some real, some fictional) to find out.
Né en 1972 à Kuala Lumpur, il se détourne de ses études de droit pour se lancer dans la réalisation, le journalisme (abordé dès l’âge de 14 ans), l’édition et la production (avec la compagnie Da Huang Pictures). Il vient de terminer un nouveau film, en un seul plan, Malaysian Gods, sur divers événements survenus à Kuala Lumpur en 1998
