Natrah

The long awaited Natrah.

I was really super excited to go! It wasn't my first time going though (the last theatre I saw was Les Miserables back in 1998 maybe. LOL!), but the fact that it was my first time in Istana Budaya, makes it a lot cooler! ;p

If you guys don't really know what's the story behind it (which i doubt so). Here's a snippet.

The Maria Hertogh riots or Nadrah riots, began on 11 December 1950 in Singapore after a court decided that a child who had been raised by Muslims should be returned to her biological Christian parents. A protest by outraged Muslims escalated into a riot when images were published showing 13-year-old Maria Hertogh (or Bertha Hertogh) kneeling before a statue of the Virgin Mary. Rioting in Singapore lasted till noon on 13 December, 1950. In total 18 people were killed and 173 injured. Many properties were also damaged.

Maya Karin played Natrah, and they had a bunch of famous Malaysian actors and actresses as well. Such as Susan Lancaster, Umie Aida, Sofia Jane, Remy Ishak, Aaron Aziz, Liyana Jasmay and loads more. Of course I came for MAYA KARIN! She's such a sweetheart! The show was superb! After the show, they had a signing session, but sadly i couldn't snap a pic with her, cause they had to go back early!! Curses! But i did manage to snap a pic of her! ;p

We have the same Baju Kurung. LOL!

She looked directly at us!
