The Film

KURANG MANIS (SUGAR,LESS) is a documentary that explores the lives of six ordinary Malaysians who bare all about their hopes and dreams about New Malaysia and what it means to be among one in two Malaysians who are living with a non-communicable disease, are overweight or obese. Through film, we introduce the most obese population in Southeast Asia to the world and expose why Malaysians are obsessed with their food, why they eat what they eat and litmus test the nation’s happiness index.

The Kurang Manis script was awarded a 2nd Prize at the Motion Picture Association International Script to Screen Workshop Malaysia 2019 co-organised by MPA-APAC, FINAS and Wildsnapper TV. Read about it here on the MPA Reporter, on page 19.

*The script was referring to a new Malaysia after the 9th May 2018 elections (GE14). It’s now 2023 and the leadership of Malaysia has since changed hands FOUR times.
