A reminder by ‘Tamil School Pasanga’

IN less than a minute into the film I was transported into this somewhat alien rural estate school setting, but somehow it was easy for me to relate. Even at the very start of the film I was reminded that we are all Malaysians by the oh so familiar school morning assembly scene. Regardless if you studied in an SK or SJK(T) or SJK(C) (national school or national type school), we all started our day the same way, singing the same national anthem.

Tamil School Pasanga is a Malaysian Tamil film that was released in the cinemas on Jan 23 this year, directed and written by K. Shunmugum, also known as Shan, whose last film Sweet Dreams (2006) left me yearning for more.
