Capitalism...a wannabe story

If you know me long enough, you well aware that I rarely pay attention to Malaysian music scene. Personal reasons aside, however sometimes it's good to pay attention to local music scene. So now, it's time to take a sneak peek inside when new artist Prema Yin hot new video causing quite a stir when it was released two weeks ago.

When you try to break the sex taboo within our community you'll soon pay the price. The director Gambit Saifullah (strange name, mind)  facing a huge backlash and Shah Jaszle ended in hot seat, again. The video is nothing compared to, say Madonna Justify My Love or Shakira La Tortura but it is something for local scene.

International acts are totally different from local since they do not have moral obligations to the people. They come from economic atmosphere called capitalism, where you can sell anything that sells. Sex sells, drug sells, violence sells. So when local acts try to become a capitalist, you simply can't, point blank.We have moral obligations to community, whether you fancy or not.

Islamic+capitalism economic system practiced here so anything causing moral defect is a definite no-no. But let's face the fact here, does the video do anything harm to the people responsible? Hardly any.

I never heard of Prema Yin so it turned my head and actually listened to her song in the video. It was pretty good. Kinda hard to swallow but I admit it. It shows that when you breaking a taboo, it's actually a good thing in drawing attention to yourself.

Of course I would definitely disagree in sex-engaging behavior in mainstream media, but do we really notice when something is plain and boring? They just trying to get our attention and it is definitely works. They took extreme risque for their action and believe me, people soon will forget whatever they did. 

If you don't like what you see, turn away. Simple as that. Moral defect or not, they ultimately choose what they want to do. We can just criticize as always or try to understand what they trying to say.
