Air Force The Movie: Selagi Bernyawa will premiere in August, and boasts a star-studded cast headlined by Aiman Hakim Ridza and Datuk Adi Putra. Other big names include Nas-T, Luqman Hafidz, Johan As'ari, Pablo Amirul, Sara Ali, Anas Ridzuan, Iman Corrine, Niezam Zaidi, Carmen Soo, Scha Alyahya and Azira Syafinaz. Directed by Zulkarnain Azhar and Frank See, it tells the story of Malaysian Navy Special Warfare Forces (Paskal) leaders Capt Adib (Nas) and Maj Adnan (Adi) who protect war refugees in a Third World country. They are ably assisted by the Royal Malaysian Air Force, whose ace fighter pilot is Adib's fearless brother-in-law Zafran (Aiman). Zulkarnain said that filming took 76 days, in March as well as October to December last year. "It was difficult with the Movement Control Order (MCO) in place, but I'm glad that we worked great as a team and wrapped it up with no hiccups," he said at the launch of the film in GSC Mid Valley Megamall here yesterday. "The main stars spent a month of basic military training at an army camp in Banting, Selangor, a mere fraction of what the real fighter pilots and navy seals encounter, but they did it." Filming took place in the outskirts of Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu, Shah Alam, Alor Star and Kota Belud in Sabah. Air Force The Movie is supported by the Malaysian Armed Forces and was launched by Armed Forces chief Jeneral Tan Sri Affendi Buang. Affendi said: "Malaysians look forward to a brilliantly produced film that will inspire them. "We need a fresh approach to lift our patriotic spirit and honour our men and women in uniform who keep the country safe. "I am confident that Air Force The Movie will set a new benchmark for the film industry." Distributor Golden Screen Cinemas' chairman Jeneral (Rtd) Tan Sri Ghazali Mohd Seth said: "This film realistically depicts the lives of the Royal Malaysian Air Force personnel in the line of duty. It is reminiscent of the frontliners battling the on-going Covid-19 pandemic. Both are in the forefront protecting the lives of Malaysians." Air Force The Movie is part of the Jom #SapotLokal Filem 2021 campaign, a joint effort by film company Multimedia Entertainment, Golden Screen Cinemas, Astro and Six Fun Media. They are promoting six films which will be screened later this year. Besides Air Force The Movie, the others are family drama Biko, horror films Rasuk, Wayang Puaka, Rumah Madu Ku Berhantu and comedy 3 Janda.

  • Pena Ketua Pengarang
    1 PENA KETUA PENGARANG “Selaku penyambung warisan, harus memainkan karakter sebagai pembela nusa dan bangsa dengan terus berjuang, terus bekorban dan terus berusaha mengekalkan apa yang dikecapi kini” lhamdulillah merafak kesyukuran kepada Yang Maha Esa di atas nikmat kesihatan yang baik seraya rezeki yang dilimpah- Akan kepada kita dalam menongkah arus perjalanan kehidupan dalam mencari keredhaanNya. Sebagaimana telah kita sedia maklum, dalam tempoh ini pelbagai hari peristiwa yang mencalit tentang pergorbanan telah kita raikan seperti Hari Raya Aidil Adha, Hari Kemerdekaan, Hari Pahlawan, Hari Penubuhan Malaysia dan tidak dilupakan juga Hari Angkatan Tentera Malaysia. Hatta, bersempena dengan peristiwa-peristiwa tersebut, terpalit diri untuk menyampaikan serta memperingatkan akan semangat perjuangan yang harus terus dipupuk dalam jiwa selaku warganegara juga sebagai anggota badan beruniform. Keamanan dan keharmonian yang dikecapi kini umum diketahui adalah hasil keperihan dan pengorbanan insan-insan terdahulu, selayaknya digelar pejuang, bermati-matian dalam usaha untuk mengembalikan kedaulatan Tanah Melayu pada suatu ketika dahulu. Semangat kepahlawanan serta keberanian jelas terpampang di setiap bait tuturcara, tingkah laku serta pemikiran setiap individu dengan tujuan yang satu iaitu demi mengembalikan senyuman serta gelak tawa pada generasi mendatang. Oleh hal yang sedemikian, pengorbanan pejuang-pejuang ter- dahulu janganlah dipersia begitu sahaja. Usai sudah peranan mer- eka dan kini kita selaku penyambung warisan, harus memainkan karakter sebagai pembela nusa dan bangsa dengan terus berjuang, terus bekorban dan terus berusaha mengekalkan apa yang dikecapi kini. Benar, ada mungkin kita tidak punyai kekentalan seumpama Lt Adnan, tidak punyai keberanian seumpama Kapt Hassan serta tidak segagah pejuang-pejuang lagenda pada masa dahulu. Namun, tidak mustahil untuk kita miliki semua itu sekiranya semangat pengor- banan telah kita pupuk dan pujuk dalam jiwa ini dari masa ke semasa.

    Monday, August 30, 2021 FBMKLCI: 1, 590 .16 THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* WWeeeekkllyy SSttrraatteeggyy Market View, News in Brief: Corporate, Economy, and Share Buybacks Kaladher Govindan Tel: +603-2167 9609 [email protected] www.taonline.com.my Market View Profit Taking Consolidations Likely but the Bull Market is Intact The local blue -chip benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) rallied to a fresh two-month high last week sparked by easing domestic political uncertainties following the appointment of Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob as the 9 th Prime Minister, and was sustained by foreign buying in index heavyweights, on the positive perception that more political stability will fuel economic reopening momentum. Week-on-week, the FBM KLCI surged 72.13 points, or 4.75 percent to 1,590.16, with gains in Public Bank (+26sen), Tenaga (+53sen), Press Metal Aluminum Holdings (+49sen), IHH Healthcare (+61sen) and CIMB (+25sen) contributing most of the rise. Average daily traded volume last week moderately increased to 4.35 billion shares compared to the 4.03 billion shares the previous week, while value rose to RM2.88 billion against the RM2.16 billion average the previous week. The newfound strength in the local equity market is expected to last but could be subjected to bouts of profit taking consolidations to neutralize the overbought conditions as the benchmark FBMKLCI continues to rise on strong signs of political stability and likely full reopening of the domestic economy by this November. The positive move by the newly minted prime minister to meet up with leaders of the main opposition parties from Pakatan Harapan last week and their willingness to throw support behind the prime minister when a motion of confidence is tabled in parliament in September have added stability to the current government.
