I just came back from dealing with a cockroach in my daughter’s room. There was a lot of screaming, shrieking and high-pitched cries.
In the end, my daughter had to calm me down.

I’m slumped on the floor, unable to take my eyes away from this poster.
Pulang is about a man who left his poor village life to work on merchant ships, traveling the world. His wife waits for his promised return. For 61 years.
Pulang is about my grandfather.

Our son has summer break from his A-levels so we thought he should get an internship and go out in the real world instead of just playing his online games all day.
So he got an internship.
At a gaming company.
As a game tester.
And now he’s playing online games all day.

My mother was the one who told me these immortal words, “Be anyone you want to be, even if it’s a tukang sapu sampah (garbage sweep). But be the best tukang sapu sampah in the world.”
To her, any job is good, as long as I really put my all behind it.
I love you, Mak and Ayah.

It feels so so good to see Malaysia’s animation industry. From Upin & Ipin to Boboiboy and now Ejen Ali, it’s so awesome to be awed by Malaysian animators, storytellers, sing along to our own songs and be proud to tell everyone “Hey look. THIS is Malaysia.” So proud of everyone.

Around 1946, my grandfather Othman from Serkam, Melaka, brought his wife and son (my father) to Singapore.
There he said he was going to work on a ship leaving that night.
He promised to return.
But he never did.

In 1966 he got a scholarship to go to London. By that time he knew my grandfather was in Liverpool.
So in June 1966, a week after arriving in London, my father went to Liverpool and found his father after an absence of nearly 20’years.
They hugged.

My father grew up without a father. But when he attended STAR boarding school he began receiving postcards from around the world. NYC, Sri Lanka, Japan, Hong Kong etc. And they all came from his father. He never could reply. No forwarding address.

Now I can’t tell you what happened. And what I found. You have to watch the movie haha.
But after the whole adventure, I reflected on what a great story this is. Multi-generation. The mystery. The wait. The anguish. The love story between my grandparents.
I started writing.

This is how this whole journey began. And how it is culminating in this amazing movie about to be released.
It all started with a with a story my dad told me...

My dad asked his father why he never returned. His answer: I don’t want to trouble anyone.
Like whut??? But my dad didn’t want to argue in that first meeting. So he didn’t pursue.
But when my father said “Mak masih tunggu Abah”, my grandad was visibly shocked.

I forgot. My father went with another friend to Liverpool Malay Sailors’ Club to find his father. The two of them walked right up and stood in front of my grandfather.
My grandfather looked up and straightaway knew. “Anak aku!”
And after nearly 20 years, they hugged.

Basecamp CGI, Tommy Mansur production design, Aubrey Suwito music, Imaginex audio. The Melaka connection was unplanned. Remy Ishak’s granduncle was also a sailor in Liverpool. Puteri Aishah is related to us we just found out. Aubrey is from Melaka. Lily Haslina the novelist too.

After a few drafts I realised I was too close to the story. We brought in Mira Mustaffa. She turned my script into a masterpiece (at least to me lor).
Then we got in Kabir Bhatia. Who in turn turned those words on paper into a piece of art.
We had a great ensemble of actors.

Nearly 30 years ago, I wrote a business plan to expand Positive Tone. In the end, I could only follow 20% of the plan because it was filled with youthful over-ambition untamed by the dream-leveller effect of reality. But what a ride Positive Tone still became.

Malay sailors were on a lot of international ships. They travelled the world. They were favored seamen, good at their work.
Zaharah tells the story of one ‘Pakcik Hamid Carpenter’ whose ship was struck by a German U-Boat. As he was in hanging on to a plank in the sea...

Even though I am a Liverpool fan and a self-professed Beatlelogist, in Liverpool my mind was only about finding out the truth.
And in my search I found incredible stories of Malay sailors especially in the writings of Zaharah Othman.
They were something else I tell you.

I’m sorry I took some time to continue. Writing this was hard for me.
Anyway, after they met in 1966, something tragic happened.
And all these years, nobody really talked about it.
Then in 2008, I decided to find out the truth.
I went to Liverpool.
