Aku, Ayah dan Muzik brings fresh perspective to local film scene
Published on: Friday, July 04, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 04, 2025 Text Size: Hanis and the film's production team. KOTA KINABALU: Sabahan director Hanif Jeff has made his mark with Aku, Ayah dan Muzik , a supertelefilm that offers a fresh take on local storytelling. The 29-year-old filmmaker's work centres on Noah, a young man's emotional journey to find his estranged father in Sabah. Advertisement Featuring actors such as Fimie Don, Enn Xaviera, AD Vico and Jovenea Jim, the film blends family themes with a strong cultural backdrop. Its soundtrack, Bisikan Waktu , mixes traditional Sabahan instruments with modern music to enhance the film's emotional depth. Originally a short film finalist in the BMW Shorties, Hanif expanded the story to explore heavier themes like grief and identity. He described the supertelefilm as a personal 'redemption' to revisit ideas he had omitted due to time constraints in the original version. The story draws inspiration from Hanif's own life and reflects family dynamics in Sabah, including reconnecting across religious divides. Filmed in locations such as Kota Kinabalu, Kota Belud and Kundasang, it highlights both the natural beauty and emotional stillness of Sabah. Hanif said the project faced financial constraints, with the team producing it on a tight budget and no profit, driven purely by passion. Production spanned about two months, with strong support from friends and crew who kept morale high despite occasional challenges. Fimie Don was cast as Noah after impressing Hanif in a music video, eventually exceeding expectations in bringing the role to life. Backed by a RM100,000 grant from Finas, the telefilm airs on TV1 and RTMKlik at 9pm tomorrow (Saturday), with Hanif eyeing future festivals and a full-length adaptation. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Sermon urges loyalty to King for nation's continued progress
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians must remain steadfast in their loyalty to the King, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, guided by the principles of Rukun Negara, to ensure the nation's continued progress and harmony, according to the special Friday sermon in conjunction with the King's official birthday celebration this Monday. The sermon, delivered nationwide during Friday prayers and broadcast live on TV1 today, emphasised that unity, peace, and mutual respect are essential foundations for national prosperity. 'It is our duty to safeguard the peace and unity that have long been established, and to abandon any actions that could disrupt this harmony. 'With the reign of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, may the five principles of Rukun Negara - Belief in God, Loyalty to the King and Country, Supremacy of the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and Courtesy and Morality - remain deeply rooted in the hearts of all Malaysians,' the sermon read. The sermon, titled Dirgahayu Tuanku: Raja dikasihi, Negara Diberkati (Long Live the King: A Beloved Monarch, A Blessed Nation), was prepared by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) and delivered by the Grand Imam of Masjid Negara, Ehsan Mohd Hosni. On Malaysia's system of Constitutional Monarchy and Parliamentary Democracy, the sermon praised the structure as one that blends wisdom in governance with tradition, law, and Islamic values - a testament to Malaysia's unique and fortunate national identity. It stressed that Islam holds in high regard leadership that is just, compassionate, and rooted in integrity, especially one that is merciful towards all citizens. In Malaysia's context, the sermon also reminded the public that the King serves not only as the Head of State but also as the Head of Islam for Penang, Melaka, Sabah, Sarawak, and the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan. 'The institution of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is not merely symbolic but represents a divine trust bestowed by Allah. The King's role aligns with the concept of Ulil Amri - an authority to be obeyed as long as it does not contradict the teachings of Islam,' it added. The sermon also highlighted the Islamic principle of mutual respect and loyalty between rulers and the people, emphasising that this reciprocal relationship is grounded in love, justice, and a shared commitment to Allah. 'This mutual prayerful connection reflects the closeness between the ruler and the people. It mirrors the concept of ukhuwah Islamiah (Islamic brotherhood), which stresses compassion and cooperation in society,' the sermon concluded, describing this bond as a model of ideal leadership and citizenry.
