Mat Deris tells the story of his life – how he has managed to turn his life around from childhood poverty in a fishing village in Perlis to becoming a wealthy and respectable man of influence and power in society – through criminal activities that include extortion, arson, prostitution, and killing.

Mat Derih Kola Perlih – or ‘Mat Deris of Kuala Perlis’ – is the title of a play written in Malay by Namron (Shahili Abdan). The text for this audio production has been adapted from an English translation of the play by Azzad Mahzir.

Directed by Leysha Al-Yahya
