Projek: High Council (2023)
The best Malay drama I've ever watched!
I have always been very put off by the normally poorly written plot, very simplistic, extremely cringy and rather unnatural Malay dramas.
Projek High Council has proven me wrong. As a Malaysian, I'm very proud to be watching this extraordinary drama recently released on Netflix; full of emotional colours, absolutely great casts and superb cinematography. The cynicism on government's flip flopping decisions on education policies and water crisis were on point. Mind you the fighting scenes do look real too!
I was actually expecting a different ending though. Here's an alternative ending idea I had in mind;
In the earlier parts of the series, Naim mentioned his intention to become both Kapla and Ketua Pelajar to have absolute power to do what he thinks was right for the school; having been inspired by his step-father's success in KUDRAT. Naim eventually got what he wanted, after beating his own brother Fakhri almost to death in manifesto to be crowned as the new Kapla. Powers eventually corrupt him and he is now a worse Kapla than one can ever imagined; a total opposite of what he once aspire to be and the changes he wanted to bring forth.
All in all, translations do not do justice to convey the context of what was actually being said in Bahasa Malaysia. The beauty in the chosen words truly come out if one listens and perceives in the native language.
We are absolutely in need more dramas like this. Totally deserving of awards and accolades. Tahniah Astro Shaw. Totally exceeding my expectations by far.
