Brunei Impresses Malaysian Star
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Renowned Malaysian actor Zamarul Hisham is looking forward to more acting stints in Brunei following his recent visit here.

The 31-year-old actor said he was impressed with the Sultanate as well as the people he had met during his stay.

"I love this country so much that I hope to come back in the future to act again," he told the Bulletin last Thursday at Food Zone in Gadong.

Zamarul was here for the launch of the Anti-Corruption Bureau drama serials, which will be held at The Mall in Gadong today.

However, he said he has not met any drama producers, especially those from the private sector.

"I was so busy acting that I did not have time to meet any drama producers. But, as I said earlier, I am looking forward to act here," he said.

Talking about the serials, Zamarul said he was particularly impressed with the production team from the Sultanate.

"There were only three Malaysians in the production team but it was the keenness of the locals that allowed the project to be completed in just three weeks, which is very fast even by Malaysian standards.

"I have never worked in a team that was so efficient, competent and well-organised. Mind you, the local production team as well as local actors are not full-time players of the drama industry," he said.

Zamarul said local actors are humble, show high interest in acting and love to ask questions to contribute to the overall efficiency of the team.

"Local veteran artistes who have acted with local production houses and Radio Television Brunei were just superb," he added.

"On my return to KL on Monday, I will be acting in a 50-series drama produced by Rosnani Jamil. I will also be acting in a new film - Potret Mistik - with Erra Fazira. But I can assure you that Brunei will be on my mind forever," he said.

His word of advice to aspiring actors is for them to strengthen and continue acting because "you all have talents in acting otherwise you would not be interested in this industry," he said.

Zamarul said he had been here once before to attend the launch of Misteri Sebuah Potret, a Malaysian film that he starred in, which was held at the JPCC Amphitheatre in Jerudong. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
