Q1. What scene in "The Big Durian" made an impression on you, and why?
The interview of a fat lady who don't want to accept the interview and keep running off from the camera with scolded the crews. This incident shows us the freedom of speech is not strong enough in our country, behind those freedom given by government it is still a lot of "act" to protect it. People have the right to talk and give speech but when touch to the sensitive point, the person who talk or give speech will get caught and jail. Is it fair enough? We need to responsible on our speech, when we say something fault or fake to the public then we should get punishment. But if we are saying the truth why we still get caught to the jail? Just because of that is the sensitive topic? In addition, the lack of freedom of speech also had showed in the documentary, it is the scene of the case about the stop publication of the newspaper. From all of this incident, the act is not appear to protect people, so people choose to keep their mouth shut to protect themselves.
Q2. What was rumored to be Pirate Adam's grouse (pain) / reason which lead to him running amuck(amok)?
The reason that lead Adam running amuck was because of the Johor Sultan had killed his brother who work in the golf club but the Sultan did not get any punishment after he murdered someone. The Sultan did not get caught because he is the royal member of Malaysia, at that period Sultan had the power to protect himself and he can escape the judgement from the court and law. Everyone who lose their family will also feel sad, Adam so. Adam lost his brother in this incident, he felt sad and the person who murded his brother did not get any punishment, he felt angry. I think this is the reason that make him become mad and lost control until running amuck.
Q3. A character from Sabah ends her narrative by noting the look on Pirate Adam's face. What was it that she saw and how does it contrast with her feelings?
The character from sabah had mentioned she went to Kuala Lumpur look for the better life but she felt disappointed when she lived at here. She ends her narrative by noting the look on Adam's face because she think Adam can spread his own feeling through killing people but even she wanted to shout out her feeling to other also cannot. That have many things she need to concern and she also need to protect herself and her life, she cannot afford losing anything.
Q4. From what historical vantage point is the director viewing the events of 1987? What is the 'present' of the documentary and what is it's mood?
The director used the events of 1987 to recall us about the government setting and the fighting agianst government around this few years. Those incidents had shown us the power misused by the government and royal members, and those incidents also had shown us the law appear not to protect the residents but the royal members and government themselves. He want to show us the unfair things and happens to all of the audience.
