Ismail the Last Days

Taman Tun Dr Ismail also known as T.T.D.I, is not unfamiliar to people who live in the Klang Valley as it is famous for places of interest such as Rasta and many more. However, how much do we know the name of Tun Dr Ismail? Now that’s food for thought.

Malaysians can know more about This ‘third man’ of Malaysian politics as Tun Dr. Ismail was a true nation builder, committed to bridging the gulf of ethnicity and religion in this country.

His story is brought to life by KLPAC’s latest performance, Ismail The Last Days.

Four of our Glitterati Nuffnangers, Charmayne, Linora, Min Li and Nick Dorian are proud to be a part of this historical musical performance and we love supporting our Nuffnangers!

Essentially a dramatization of real events in the history of Malaysia, the musical does not in any way seek to present its material as historical fact. It seeks to, at the very least, remain true to the spirit of Tun Dr Ismail and his time.

Here’s a quote from Tun Dr Ismail;

Why did we fight for Merdeka? So that the different races can be divided? That can’t be the way, right?… Something is wrong… Why are we building Malaysia? What Malaysia are we building? What kind of symbol is Malaysia supposed to be?

Do catch this spectacular performance as it is currently showing in KLPAC for this month only! More information can be found in their official blog here or you could check out KLPAC

Support our Nuffnangers!!!
