The 24th Malaysian Film Festival saw filmmaker Syamsul Yusof coming into his own with major accolades.
Syamsul Yusof’s film KL Gangster garnered a total of five awards at the 24th Malaysian Film Festival, including Best Director and Best Screenplay. But the son of legendary actor/director Yusof Haslam was most touched when his father hugged him and said five little words before Syamsul stepped onto the stage at Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) in Putrajaya last Sunday to receive the coveted Best Director award.
