On Tour in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Nikki Bedi meets the creatives shaping the arts and culture of Malaysia including Tuni Sundatang with singer Dabra Sia, singer Takahara Suik, director Ng Ken Kin, Sharifah Amani.
Nikki Bedi is on stage with top performers and creatives to discuss cultural life in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia.
There is live performance from the phenomenal band Tuni Sundatang with singer Dabra Sia, blending the folkloric traditions of Sabah in Borneo with contemporary rock, and from sensational singer-songwriter Takahara Suiko, who describes her electronic composition as 'Kampung Baru Cyberpunk'.
Director Ng Ken Kin reveals the thinking behind Pendatang, Malaysia's first crowd funded feature film, which depicts a fictitious dystopian Malaysia where Malay, Chinese and Indian races are strictly segregated.
Screen star Sharifah Amani talks about her latest film La Luna, which is Singapore's submission to next year's Oscars and tells the story of a woman who opens a lingerie shop in a conservative Malaysian village.
Takahara Suiko takes Nikki on a Culture Cab tour of independent venues on the fringes of Kuala Lumpur. Plus, stand-up comedy from Netflix comedian Kavin Jay and the discussion is joined by members of the live audience.
