Brother Mat.

Hey! Where’s my money?!

Hurry up!

Hey! How dare you not to pay！

Don’t you dare run away!

Where are you trying to go?

Hey!

My child is sick. I need money.

Today, you’re sick.

Tomorrow, he’s sick.

And the day after tomorrow, he is sick.

Everyone else has paid.

Do you think you’re special?

Ah Keong, Sui Gu.

Enough!

Who are you?

Brother Mat.

Oh, newcomer.

Have you paid yet?

Protection money!

Don’t play a fool with me!

Hurry up and pay!

Don’t bother her.

If you bother her, I will call the police.

Weakling!

Snacks!

Cucur badak, ondeh-ondeh!

Snacks!

Cucur badak, ondeh-ondeh!

-How much for one cucur badak? -Five cents.

Thank you.

Snacks!

Cucur badak, ondeh-ondeh!

How did you know I was here?

That sound of your breathing, Mat.

It sounds like a buffalo’s breathing.

I can hear it from five miles away.

And even more so right behind the door.

A face like this, and you still want to try again.

You’re too slow.

Do it again.

Too greedy. Watch your words first. Do it again.

Great! Continue!

Since when has a hole been here?

Pay attention to your surroundings, Mat.

Turn that into a strength.

A good practitioner will always be aware of their surroundings.

What's with that hole?

Sister Chom put it there.

She wants to make a vegetable garden.

Fatimah! Good morning.

Good morning, Uncle.

Have a safe journey.

Alright.

Snacks!

How come there’s no one inside?

That's right, Teacher.

How come there’s no one inside?

The thugs I caught at the night market,

what happened to them?

What has happened to them, Teacher?

I don’t know either.

Hey, you!

Did you see anyone inside the lockup?

-No, sir. -No?

Don’t mess with me.

Help me a bit.

Teacher,

I am definitely sure.

No one has been inside that lockup

since the start of the morning shift.

And…

and…

and I am definitely sure

no one has come here, Teacher.

Hurry up.

I am innocent, sir.

Peter Malcolm?

Why should I have written it if you were just going to say it out loud?

Oh, and Meor…

He blacked out!

He is knocked out.

The undefeated winner is Peter Malcolm.

Come on!

Let me help you.

What's that, Brother?

Not sure.

When I pass my exam,

I want to drive a truck like that too.

Is Uncle Mat handsome?

But what if Uncle Mat fails again?

Hey, kid, did you have too much sugar or what?

SAKURA CLUB

Hey, Malcolm.

HU WEI TANG

Thank you, Boss Khoon.

Here.

Just bear it.

Grandma said if you apply it like this,

the bruise marks will fade quickly.

Mayang.

Yes?

If I pass the examination,

I can become a police officer.

-Really? -Yes.

That means I will get a permanent job.

That’s good if that’s the case.

After this…

can you…

What is it?

Can you…

Can you…

Can you…

-What it is? -Will you share my happiness?

Of course, Brother Mat.

My prayers are always with you, Brother Mat.

Why is it so hard to say?

-Miss. -Yes?

Have you already closed your stall?

Not yet.

Can I have one cendol?

Sure. Please wait a moment.

Here!

Which type of cendol do you want?

As usual. With extra peanuts.

Extra peanuts.

Is that even possible?

The doctor said I’m overweight.

This isn’t being overweight, it’s happiness.

Happiness.

Listen to the doctor and eat less oily food.

Who are you?

-Fauzi. -Fauzi?

Good morning, everyone.

-Good morning, Teacher. -Good morning, Teacher.

Fauzi, you are here.

Meor.

No need to be too formal.

Friends, this is Fauzi, my partner starting today.

-Teacher. -What?

Teacher, do you remember this person, Worawut?

Worawut?

That Muay Thai fighter?

What’s wrong with this Thai guy?

Looking for trouble all around the world?

Who is he? Wuro what？

Worawut.

Listen to what I’m about to tell you.

Can you believe that arrogant Worawut

got beaten up by our Panglima Sendo Perak?

Panglima Sendo of Perak？

Hey!

There.

That was the best fight I’ve ever seen.

Rizal, come show us.

Wrong person.

Ali.

Fight!

This is how he fought back.

Ali, you be Worawut.

-Who? -Worawut.

Oh, Worawut.

-Take it slow, Ali. -Alright.

-Teacher blocked. -What did Teacher do after that?

-Catch him. -What happened next?

-Teacher caught him like this. -Then?

-Then Teacher did this. -Ouch!

Was it like this, Teacher?

It wasn't that dramatic, not to that extent.

Thank you, Ali.

Teacher,

if I were you,

I’d beat him until even his parents didn't recognize him.

Why bother hitting an opponent who is already down?

That will only prevent him from receiving the lesson

that God has prepared for him.

Teacher,

is it true that all silat grandmasters are invulnerable?

Nonsense. Bullshit.

We shouldn’t believe things like that.

It’s already 1950.

We're in the modern age,

the era of science and industry.

If your child is sick,

would you take him to the hospital or to a traditional healer?

We are all civil servants.

How can we believe in mumbo jumbo stuff like that?
