KUALA LUMPUR: After two decades in the music industry, singer Imran Ajmain is back with the boldest and most significant project of his career: a remix album titled 'Sila Ambil Perhatian,' released today.
"This album is for everyone – for those who grew up with full albums and also for the TikTok generation," said 44-year-old Imran when met at a private listening party in the capital, recently.
This album isn't just a compilation of past works; it's a fresh and diverse reinterpretation.
Featuring 37 tracks in new versions, the album guides listeners through Imran's musical journey, spanning genres like pop, R&B, acoustic, electronic, and hip hop.
It also includes collaborations with a variety of artistes and producers, such as Ahmadul Amin, Late Nite Frequency, Firwan Johan, Cheryl Samad, and Siti Sairah Tarudin.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time. Twenty years of work, and finally, everything is brought together in one remix album. It's truly a dream come true."
Some of the songs given new life in the album include 'Selamat Ulang Tahun Sayang' and 'Seribu Tahun,' which feature rough demo versions and traditional arrangements by Faliq Auri, incorporating flute and woodwind instruments.
To mark his 20-year milestone in the industry, Imran has also announced an acoustic tour titled 'Mesyuarat Penting.'

Divided voices of Seribu Tahun reflect Malaysia's growing media maturity
In a local TV landscape often filled with predictable plots and familiar tropes, Seribu Tahun has quietly emerged as a bold outlier. The Malay-language drama, which has sparked conversations across social media, stepped into rarely explored territory, weaving LGBT themes into its storyline while firmly grounded in Malay-Muslim cultural contexts. Unlike shows designed to provoke controversy for attention, Seribu Tahun took a different path: it doesn't push agendas, it invites dialogue. Through emotional storytelling and layered characters, it challenges viewers to reflect, not react — offering a rare lens into conversations often left unheard in mainstream Malaysian media. Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Faculty of Film, Theatre and Animation lecturer, Ts Mastura Muhammad viewed this public discourse as a sign of progress rather than division. 'The polarised response to Seribu Tahun reveals the evolving state of public discourse in Malaysia. These reactions reflect a society negotiating its values, caught between maintaining traditional norms and grappling with modern complexities. 'Rather than viewing this division as a weakness, it signals the maturity of a media-literate public willing to critically engage with content,' she told Sinar Daily. The series stands out precisely because it refuses to offer simple answers or push a singular perspective. Instead, Seribu Tahun contextualises the struggles of its characters with nuance and care. This approach transforms mainstream media into a dynamic arena for national conversation, provided stories like these are handled with depth and ethical clarity. Mastura emphasised that the drama's layered storytelling offers multiple perspectives rather than promoting a specific ideology or identity. In Malaysia, television drama is often seen as light entertainment, an escape from daily life. But Seribu Tahun challenges this perception. Mastura pointed out that drama can and should serve as a platform for meaningful dialogue. The Seribu Tahun debates reflect a growing public willingness to think critically, engage deeply and confront complexity. Photo: Facebook 'Audience reactions, especially those expressed via platforms like TikTok, have offered thoughtful interpretations of the show's themes, drawing from both social and religious frameworks. These kinds of responses contribute to a richer and more constructive media environment than the usual reception given to formulaic romantic dramas. 'In contrast to other local productions that have mishandled sensitive themes, such as the casual acknowledgment of biological fathers in cases of children born out of wedlock, a portrayal that contradicts Islamic teachings, Seribu Tahun demonstrates a more ethically grounded narrative approach. 'Controversial issues in the series are carefully contextualised or resolved, reflecting a sincere effort to balance creative freedom with cultural and religious considerations,' she added. Malaysia's society is often labelled as conservative, but this simplification overlooks the rich diversity of moral and ideological standpoints held across its population. For filmmakers navigating this landscape, ethical storytelling becomes a tightrope walk. 'Directors and scriptwriters must navigate this complex terrain, shaped by regulation, religious sensitivities and public expectations. Ethical representation in such a setting demands commitment to narrative integrity without falling into sensationalism. 'When addressing taboo topics like LGBT identities, religion, or intersexuality (khunsa), it is crucial for filmmakers to craft portrayals that are contextually relevant, culturally respectful and ethically responsible,' she mentioned. The reach of television drama means these stories carry the power to amplify voices too often sidelined. More than just showing these identities or issues, such narratives invite society to listen and reflect rather than react in knee-jerk fashion. Through these stories, Mastura said that we can come closer to understanding Malaysia's heterogeneous social fabric, rather than perpetuating the illusion of cultural uniformity.

‘Seribu Tahun aims to spark understanding, not promote LGBT culture'
LGBTQ+ themes are rarely portrayed in Malay television dramas, largely due to Malaysia's deep-rooted religious beliefs and cultural sensitivities. But this year, a drama titled Seribu Tahun has stirred debate, reigniting conversations about representation, empathy, and the boundaries of creative storytelling. Since its release, Seribu Tahun has received mixed reactions from viewers. While some praised the show for its bold attempt to humanise difficult issues, others criticised it for allegedly normalising LGBT narratives, sparking heated discussions on social media. At the heart of the debate is actor Nazrief Nazri, who plays Dr Zahar in the series. He clarified that the drama was never about promoting LGBT culture, but about shedding light on the hidden struggles faced by some individuals in society. 'We're not pushing any agenda. The director, Shahrulezad, and the scriptwriter wanted to show that not everyone in the LGBT community has the same story,' he said when contacted recently. 'Some struggle quietly, pray for change, and feel trapped in identities they didn't choose. The message here is not to support their actions, but to guide them with compassion rather than condemnation,' Nazrief added. He further highlighted that the aim is not to promote any particular lifestyle, but to encourage thoughtful conversation. Nazrief added that while the drama begins with controversial elements, its true message becomes clearer towards the end. 'It's not about glorifying or normalising anything,' he said. Nazrief Nazri with his Seribu Tahun co-star, Zarif Ghazzi He stated that the message is about raising awareness of a subject often seen as taboo in society, stressing that without open dialogue, these social issues risk being overlooked, and solutions remain out of reach. He also shared that the overall response to the drama has been overwhelmingly positive, with several viewers expressing that the storyline resonated with their own personal experiences. According to Nazrief, only a small minority, around 2 or 3 per cent, reacted negatively. 'I don't blame them. If this issue is not relatable to them, it's harder to understand. But those who've experienced it first-hand, especially within families, were more accepting,' he added. Nazrief hopes Seribu Tahun will be viewed with an open mind, emphasising that it is a drama for everyone, regardless of background. He urged audiences to focus on understanding the message it conveys. He also expressed his hope that members of the LGBTQ+ community can find meaningful lessons in Dr Zahar's journey. 'In my 13 years of acting, I've always looked for roles that leave an impact,' Nazrief shared. He also shared that after taking a break to focus on raising his child, Seribu Tahun felt like the right project for his return to acting. Set in contemporary Malaysia, Seribu Tahun tells two intertwining stories of love, identity, and emotional resilience. One storyline centres around Syukri and his wife Nur, whose marriage is tested by the arrival of Puteri Imaan Suhana, a seemingly perfect woman determined to win Syukri's affection. Despite Nur's limitations, she is intellectually delayed and unable to conceive due to Turner Syndrome, Syukri's love remains unwavering. The drama explores themes of loyalty, inner strength, and the destructive nature of envy, as Imaan, fuelled by jealousy and unresolved trauma with her mother, attempts to disrupt their marriage. Parallel to this is the emotional and spiritual journey of Dr Zahar, a respected medical professional grappling with his identity, faith, and the stigma surrounding sexuality in a conservative society. The story highlights the isolation, conflict, and quiet suffering faced by individuals navigating these deeply personal issues.

Monsters and memes: Labubu dolls ride China soft-power wave
SHANGHAI – Small, fuzzy and baring sharp teeth, Chinese toymaker Pop Mart's Labubu monster dolls have taken over the world, drawing excited crowds at international stores and adorning the handbags of celebrities such as Rihanna and Cher. Beijing-based Pop Mart is part of a rising tide of Chinese cultural exports gaining traction abroad, furry ambassadors of a 'cool' China even in places associated more with negative public opinion of Beijing such as Europe and North America. Labubus, which typically sell for around $40, are released in limited quantities and sold in 'blind boxes', meaning buyers don't know the exact model they will receive. The dolls are 'a bit quirky and ugly and very inclusive, so people can relate', interior designer Lucy Shitova told AFP at a Pop Mart store in London, where in-person sales of Labubus have been suspended over fears that fans could turn violent in their quest for the toys. 'Now everything goes viral… because of social media. And yes, it's cool. It's different.' While neighbouring East Asian countries South Korea and Japan are globally recognised for their high-end fashion, cinema and pop songs, China's heavily censored film and music industry have struggled to attract international audiences, and the country's best-known clothing exporter is fast-fashion website Shein. There have been few success stories of Chinese companies selling upmarket goods under their own brands, faced with stereotypes of cheap and low-quality products. 'It has been hard for the world's consumers to perceive China as a brand-creating nation,' the University of Maryland's Fan Yang told AFP. Pop Mart has bucked the trend, spawning copycats dubbed by social media users as 'lafufus' and detailed YouTube videos on how to verify a doll's authenticity. Brands such as designer womenswear label Shushu/Tong, Shanghai-based Marchen and Beijing-based handbag maker Songmont have also gained recognition abroad over the past few years. 'It might just be a matter of time before even more Chinese brands become globally recognisable,' Yang said. Through viral exports like Labubu, China is 'undergoing a soft-power shift where its products and image are increasingly cool among young Westerners', said Allison Malmsten, an analyst at China-based Daxue Consulting. Malmsten said she believed social media could boost China's global image 'similar to that of Japan in the 80s to 2010s with Pokemon and Nintendo'. Video app TikTok — designed by China's ByteDance — paved the way for Labubu's ascent when it became the first Chinese-branded product to be indispensable for young people internationally. Joshua Kurlantzick from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) told AFP that 'TikTok probably played a role in changing consumers' minds about China'. TikTok, which is officially blocked within China but still accessible with VPN software, has over one billion users, including what the company says is nearly half of the US population. The app has become a focus of national security fears in the United States, with a proposed ban seeing American TikTok users flock to another Chinese app, Rednote, where they were welcomed as digital 'refugees'. A conduit for Chinese social media memes and fashion trends, TikTok hosts over 1.7 million videos about Labubu. Cultural exports can 'improve the image of China as a place that has companies that can produce globally attractive goods or services', CFR's Kurlantzick told AFP. 'I don't know how much, if at all, this impacts images of China's state or government,' he said, pointing to how South Korea's undeniable soft power has not translated into similar levels of political might. While plush toys alone might not translate into actual power, the United States' chaotic global image under the Trump presidency could benefit perceptions of China, the University of Maryland's Yang said. 'The connection many make between the seeming decline of US soft power and the potential rise in China's global image may reflect how deeply intertwined the two countries are in the minds of people whose lives are impacted by both simultaneously,' she told AFP. At the very least, Labubu's charms appear to be promoting interest in China among the younger generation. 'It's like a virus. Everyone just wants it,' Kazakhstani mother-of-three Anelya Batalova told AFP at Pop Mart's theme park in Beijing. Qatari Maryam Hammadi, 11, posed for photos in front of a giant Labubu statue. 'In our country, they love Labubu,' she said. 'So, when they realise that the origin of Labubu is in China, they'd like to come to see the different types of Labubu in China.' –AFP
