15 Minutes With Top Malay Director, Sanif Olek
Long-time film-maker Sanif Olek may have worked on many television and short films since 1996, but his first feature film was only released in 2014. Sayang Disayang is produced in Malay language about the Malay community in Singapore.
With so many years of experience to back him up, it probably isn’t very surprising that the film has received such an acclaimed response. The film won Best Cinematography & Story at the World Film Awards 2014 held at Jakarta, and was nominated to represent Singapore in the Best Foreign Picture category of the Oscars 2015. The film is available on Singapore Airlines’ in-flight entertainment, so you can watch it the next time you travel by SIA!

Before leaving, she turns to Ridzwan and reminds him to pray.
In that scene from a web series created by People Like Us, Ridzwan’s mum played by Mastura Ahmad—an actress who has brought to life many often complex, layered, and surprisingly, human characters—showcases her acting prowess through nuanced mannerisms and body language. The same can be said about her character in the movie Apprentice, where she plays Suhaila, sister to Aiman who is often sullen, moody, and torn between wanting to chase after her own lofty romantic aspirations and keeping ties with the only family she has left.
I’m taken completely by surprise when I meet Mast
