Malaysia’s economy has been on a rollercoaster over the last decade, with political transitions, policy shifts, and external shocks all contributing to periods of instability. However, there is growing optimism that Malaysia is finally turning the corner.
KUALA LUMPUR: ‘ Tegkang ’, a film about a closely guarded secret in a village on the highlands of Bario , Sarawak, has won the Best New Filmmaker Award at the First-Time Filmmaker Showcase .
‘Tegkang’, written and directed by Josh Nawan, tells the story of life in a remote village that has kept a closely guarded secret for years and which begins to unravel with the arrival of a visitor who befriends a local girl. He said the recognition is a matter of great pride for the Kelabit community, an indigenous Dayak group from the Sarawak highlands including Bario, as they have been rarely represented in the arts.
