Sebalik Malam
Sebalik Malam is TV3's latest show that touches on "taboo subjects and sexual deviancy", e.g. "lesbianism, obsession, voyeurism and sadism". During the introduction, the host Ahmad Fedtri mentioned that the show wasn't about ghosts and the supernatural, but his hand gestures, his slow speech (ala Misteri Nusantara) and the spooky music and heartbeat sounds in the background didn't tally with what he was saying. The first episode highlighted Derita Nafsu (loosely-translated to Suffering from Lust). Among the sub-topics were underwear thievery and transexuality. The part on underwear thieves was very weak. Didn't reveal much about the motivation behind, but perhaps there's not much objectivity behind human lust. Some lame answers I got from the host:
1) To sell for money (on eBay, perhaps?)
2) As an acne cure (Oxy can close shop)
3) Black magic (Who knows?)
During the second part of the show, they featured a telephone conversation with a man who is in the midst of reversing his Mak Nyah status after the death of his boyfriend from AIDS. Azura Karim the 2nd host seemed flabbergasted but concerned at the same time. The last part of the show was about people who like to scribble lewd grafitti.
"Want to have fun? Contact XXX-XXXXXXX"
I don't know about psychological problems, but I think most of these grafitti is done by kids trying to pull a prank on their friends. I've also seen some grafitti that are pretty graphic in LRT station toilets. Comparable to Kama Sutra reliefs. Art at its best. The third host, Teh Syuhada even sang!?!?! Not up to expectations. It should be a 0.5hour show. Don't waste your time, sleep earlier. And why the hell do they need that many host?!
Remember, the early bird catches the thong on the clothesline.
