Great Malaysian Social Drama of a good old Malaysia

Warning: Spoilers
I feel Malaysia has changed somewhat, and this movie encompasses a good period which Malaysia had back in the 90's. A nice family setting in which two sisters, their rivalry and relationship is highlighted.

It is a reflection of any Malaysian family back in the day, who are struggling with their personal problems and trying to fight everyday to survive and fight through their problems. The two main leads, the girls, do fantastic job of showcasing two girls who have alternative personalities, and how they have their differences, but in the end love each other and wish the best for each other.

It really highlights the Malaysian spirit overall in its direction. The scenery of Kuala Lumpur in all its mighty glory back in the 90s, the night scenes which include night markets, bars and clubs, show the day-to-day life of the typical Malaysian youth and how they deal with their affairs.

All of this gives the movie the highlight which it deserves, and anyone looking for a good social drama to get to know the heart of Malaysia should watch this movie.
