KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 (Bernama) -- ‘Anak Rimau The Movie’, a film that zooms in on the elements of unity and nationalism among the races, is able to foster the spirit of patriotism ahead of the National Day celebrations, said Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker.
He said the film that revolves around football, played by various races, carries the message that every individual must strive to fight without giving up if they want to taste success.
"I would like to congratulate the cast and crew of Anak Rimau for their extraordinary effort in showcasing one of the factors that unite us and have lifted our spirits in this country, which is football.
"Our mission at the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) is to form a more prosperous and united Malaysia through youth development and sports culture, and the story of ‘Anak Rimau The Movie’ is a perfect example of what we aim for in this country," he told reporters after an exclusive screening of the movie.
The film was produced through the joint venture of the National Sports Council (MSN), the National Football Development Programme (NFDP), Mokhtar Dahari Academy (AMD) and KBS.
The film produced by Keeklr Films Sdn Bhd features a line-up of famous actors, Beto Kusyairy, Azhan Rani and Adam Corrie, where the film highlights the spirit and struggle of the new generation in pursuing their dreams as football players.
Also present at the film screening were Tengku Arif Temenggong Pahang Tengku Fahd Mu'adzam Sultan Ahmad Shah, Tengku Arif Bendahara Tengku Muhammad Iskandar Ri'ayatuddin Shah and MSN director-general Datuk Ahmad Shapawi Ismail.
Meanwhile, national football legend Datuk Dollah Salleh said the participation of AMD's young players in the film could attract more young people to take up football.
"It will do a lot of good for our young people. This movie can inspire many more young people to participate in the football league.
"This movie seems to suggest that football can keep the young people all pumped up and provide a future,” he said.
