#SHOWBIZ: Zubir Khan dreams big

FAST becoming a household name, talented singer Zubir Ali Khan admits that growing up with a disability was challenging. A nasty accident robbed the 25-year-old of part of his right arm when he was only 4. "Even though doctors initially succeeded in re-attaching it, that part of my arm that was severed eventually went numb and had to be rid of. "The accident took place in my father's bakery in Sepang where my hand accidentally got into an industrial dough-mixer." Reflecting on growing up, Zubir said living without a limb made him feel "abnormal and inadequate" at times. "I did not suffer much from teasing and bullying in school but there were times when people looked at me while whispering to their friends or family. "It did upset me a bit but getting support from my family made me feel much better and positive about my life," said Zubir, the youngest child in his family. "I am always thankful that my parents and elder siblings were always there to support and encourage me. "My family is my backbone. Whenever I felt that I couldn't do something, they encouraged me until I did it. "They kept reminding me that I needed to believe in myself, and thanks to them, I can now do many things." Zubir believes that everyone has a handicap. "When I look at the bigger picture of things, I realise that all of us lack one thing or another, but each of us has a gift from God which we ought to use to the fullest. "In my case, it is singing in languages other than my mother tongue of Malay," he said. Zubir chose singing not to motivate himself but because of his interest. "I really love to sing and perform in front of people, along with prayers from my family, my mum especially, I have come this far and thank God for it." Zubir, who excels in singing Tamil songs and is a self-taught recording artiste, lives by a simple saying that his parents taught him: if God takes something away, He gives you something more in return. Zubir had many Indian and Chinese friends in the oil palm estate in Sepang, where he spent his first three years. "Everyone in the estate spoke Tamil and mingled without racial barriers," he said. Zubir picked up the language and improved his command of it through conversations with friends, and by listening to Tamil music. "I can also speak Urdu, which I learnt from my father. "I am learning Mandarin with a little help from my elder brother, who learnt the language much earlier." Zubir acquired a love of music from his father, who was a part-time musician in the estate. "I was more into music, especially Indian music. I loved watching Tamil and Hindi movies." Zubir is a big fan of Tamil music composer and performer Anirudh Ravichander. "He is the greatest Tamil playback singer, and I grew up enjoying his music. "If I have a chance, I would really love to perform in Chennai, India along with my idol. That would be a dream come true." Zubir uploaded videos of his singing online in 2019, but he did not have high hopes. The response was overwhelming — one of his videos hit 500,000 views and another hit a million. Zubir quickly became a household name as the first Malay singer to perform his own Tamil songs. In 2023, the song 'Yennode Macha', which was composed by Music Kitchen and penned by Zubir, catapulted him to nationwide fame. "This catchy song, which means 'My Friend', became a hit in the Tamil and Malay music markets," Zubir said. If Zubir were not a singer, he might have pursued medicine as it was his mother's wish for him to become a doctor. "I might even have become a chef! This is something that not a lot of people know about. "I can cook, for instance, curry and briyani," he said proudly. The future is set to be interesting for Zubir. "I hope to release an album and single. I am also going to be more active on social media, posting content and doing covers for my fans." As for his advice to fans, Zubir said: "Born special is not a flaw. 'That way, you will love yourself more and reach for the stars."

Zaleha Hamid: Malaysia's beloved Queen of Dangdut If you grew up in Malaysia in the 80s or 90s, chances are you've heard her unmistakable voice on the radio, at weddings, or booming from pasar malam speakers. With a voice that could make you sway, cry, and dance all at once, Zaleha Hamid earned her crown as Malaysia's Queen of Dangdut – and held onto it for decades. Born on 31 August 1957 in Sungai Pinang, Penang, Zaleha was destined for the stage. With a mother who was a traditional theatre actress and a father who played the violin, her roots were steeped in the performing arts. She started singing at the tender age of five, performing in traditional theatre and ghazal shows, honing a voice that would eventually electrify dangdut lovers across the region. Making dangdut her kingdom Image: LadyBosz Although Zaleha began with Indian classical and Malay asli music, her shift into the world of dangdut in the 70s and 80s made her a household name. Leading ensembles like Orkes Zindegi, she bridged traditional and contemporary music with ease. Her solo career blossomed in the 80s with hit albums like Curahan Rasa (1982), Asmara (1986), and the unforgettable Dangdut Bang series in the 90s. The latter, while stirring controversy for its cheeky lyrics, also cemented her position as a bold and fearless performer who wasn't afraid to push boundaries. The songs we'll never forget Zaleha's voice is etched into Malaysian music history. With hits like 'Dangdut Reggae', 'Kerana Pengalaman', 'Nasib Janda', and 'Jagung Bakar', she captured the hearts of fans not just in Malaysia, but also in Singapore and Indonesia. Her ability to combine Malay, Indian, and Arabic musical influences made her music uniquely hers. Not without controversy – and that's what made her a legend Zaleha wasn't afraid to ruffle feathers. Her Dangdut Bang albums were Over her long and vibrant career, Zaleha was recognised with numerous accolades, including a Lifetime Dangdut Artist Award by PAPITA in 2006, and another by Life Records Singapore in 2007. Her song 'Teruna Idaman' even made it to the semi-finals of Muzik-Muzik 8 in 1992 – a testament to her enduring popularity. A dangdut legacy that lives on Zaleha Hamid wasn't just a singer – she was a trailblazer. She made dangdut cool before it was mainstream, gave it a Malaysian flavour, and showed that women could dominate the stage with both elegance and fire. Even in her final years, her name still drew admiration, and her songs still sparked joy. Today, as younger artists like Baby Shima and Wany Hasrita carry the dangdut torch forward, Zaleha's influence is unmistakable. Rest in peace, Zaleha Hamid. The Queen may have left the stage, but her music will keep us dancing and reminiscing for generations to come. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

AI movie scripts lack soul, say senior writers

Compiled by JUNAID IBRAHIM, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN MOVIE scripts generated by artificial intelligence (AI) are not uni­que and lack creativity, according to senior writers. Berita Harian reported that senior scriptwriter Rozie Rashid, who has produced more than 40 scripts throughout her career, believes that AI tools such as ChatGPT should be used as a supporting tool, not as a replacement for the 'artistic soul' in writing. The 56-year-old, whose real name is Roziwati Mohd Rashid, said that excessive reliance on ­Chat­GPT could weaken a writer's creativity because it discourages critical thinking. 'It really depends on the individual's attitude. 'But in truth, this technology should only be used to generate or expand ideas. 'As writers, we must have vision, aesthetic sense and values in the content we produce,' she said, adding that each script should reflect the writer's unique style. Rozie said she had tried using ChatGPT to help her craft a script. However, she said the results were not satisfactory. 'Every script I write must have an element of truth. 'Some are drawn from my experiences or from friends because these aspects resonate more with the human soul,' she said. Creative director and scriptwriter Marr Mohamad Irwan Mansor said that no matter how advanced technology becomes, it cannot express the emotions and feelings that humans possess. 'Technology cannot feel the emotional pulses of humans, including experiences of disappointment, loss and falling in love – key aspects in a script. 'Every script needs an emotional touch that only a human can feel. ChatGPT can offer shortcuts, but the most accurate and beautiful path still comes from the true soul of the writer,' he said. Marr Mohamad acknowledged that some scriptwriters use AI assistance due to time constraints. 'I believe many writers use ChatGPT to ease the process in terms of ideas or structure, not to write the entire script. 'The success of a script comes from the writer's own creativity, instincts, emotional senses and experiences,' he added.
