Life Sdn Bhd: What It Means to be Malaysian?

After much thinking – Where Do We Go From Here – It dawned upon us that these are the trials, tribulations and challenges of life. You guessed it. Joe & Faridah gave birth to the Life Sdn Bhd series, beginning for the first 3 years with “What It Means to be a Malaysian”.

Of course there were many more pressing issues and so, Life Sdn Bhd went on to breast cancer, refugees, abuse, HIV, human trafficking, mental health. Each time, featuring real people with real stories on stage.

It has been 30 years since the floods and Life Sdn Bhd is going back full circle to “What It Means to be Malaysian?” with a mix of original storytellers and some newer voices offering differing viewpoints and personal stories on this heartfelt issue.

“Life Sdn Bhd: What It Means to be Malaysian?” will premiere at the Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival (YSDAF) on 19 & 20 August 2023 in Pentas 2, klpac and will enjoy an extended run after the festival from 1 to 3 September 2023 in conjunction with the upcoming Malaysia Day celebrations.

Featuring: Xavier Chen Wen Xuan, Tin Raman, Melor, Mark Beau de Silva, Shamaine Othman, Li Yang
