Tonight we have a man who came from Gemas, spent a decade in Indonesia, got into a 224 episode long show only to return to Malaysia with a slew of premiere acting roles. His name is Keith Foo and he speaks seven languages!

He started out doing commercials at the young age of 14 and continued as he moved to KL when he was 17. When he turned 21, Keith received an offer for a toothpaste commercial in Indonesia. He took this opportunity and moved to Indonesia to hit it big at acting.

It wasn’t  smooth sailing for Keith early on, he was a struggling actor during his first few years, sharing accommodation and sleeping on sofas were a daily occurrence. Furthermore, to break into the Indonesian scene, Keith had to learn Bahasa Indonesian slang and had to work hard to make it sound natural. His big break was in 2009 when he was picked for a low budget horror movie Mati Suri. By 2010 he’d received a part in the massive 244-episode drama Cinta Dan Anugerah.

Keith decided to return to Malaysia as he wished to spend more time with his family. It wouldn’t be for another 5 years until he hit his stride in the Malaysian scene, with roles in Ariana Rose and Love You Mr Arrogant. Both shows had a total of a 9.1 million viewership. Earlier in September, Keith starred in the movie Girlfriend Kontrak.

Keith’s next big thing is a leading role in Langit Cinta. A movie directed by Osman Ali of Ombak Rindu fame.

For the record, Keith scored 11!

Over the next few weeks of this special series on migrant labour, we will be exploring the topic from the perspective of policy and economics; taking you through the forgotten history of a landmark court case, and delving into the specific challenges faced by domestic workers. This week we take a look at recruitment fees and ask, just how much does a domestic worker make? We ask whether the labour supply system encourages us to see domestic workers as commodities, and speak to two young girls who came to Malaysia in search of employment opportunities, only to find themselves abused.

Tonight we have a man who rose to prominence from entering Akademi Fantasia when he was 18 and winning Anugerah Juara Lagu with a song written by Yuna in 2012. His name is Aizat Amdan and he’s one of Malaysia’s most recognizable young figures in the mainstream music scene.

For Aizat Amdan, it all started back when he was 12 years old. He started to play the guitar with his brother, Anas. Aizat kept playing for school gigs and competition. As soon as he ended school, Aizat auditioned and was picked as the final 12 contestants for Akademi Fantasia 5 in 2007. Aizat run was a fan-favourite with his rendition of Anuar Zain’s Perpisahan was regarded as one of the best performances the competition has seen. Sadly, it all ended for Aizat when he only reached to the Top 7.

After AF, Aizat released two singles, Sahabat and Hanya Kau Yang Mampu. Hanya Kau Yang Mampu became a major hit in Malaysia earning it the title of Most Downloaded song in 2009 at Anugerah Planet Muzik. Aizat surprised many with his sudden weight loss of 30kgs soon after. By 2008, he released his debut album Percubaan Pertama to critical acclaim. In 2009, Aizat won best song and best performance at Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL) with his songs Pergi and Kau Aku.

By 2010, Urusan Aizat Amdan was released to much fanfare with hits like Susun Silang Kata and Sungai Lui. With Susun Silang Kata winning the best music video award in Anugerah Industri Muzik 2011. 2012 was a special year with Aizat being the first replacement artist to win the overall title of AJL. Yuna could not attend to perform her song Terukir Di Bintang so Aizat stepped up to fill her spot.

With 2014, Aizat released his third album Legasi and it features a star studded featuring line-up with Yuna, Zee Avi, Noh Salleh and Lan from Azlan and The Typewriter. Interestingly, he released it in vinyl and created a bid format for the 222 vinyls up for sale. In the album, Aizat has fan favourites like Dwihati featuring Yuna and earlier this year, he released his new single Langit Tetap Biru.

For the record, Aizat scored 18!
