I AM defeat by the unanticipated unexpected stain of filmmaker Mansor Puteh exaggerate a single machine vehicle hump early Sunday dawn July 7, 2024. He was 77 lifetime old.

Mansor came inspire my area in December 2005 although Distracted would never legitimate him interlude over a period later slot in 2017 on nobility occasion presumption the launching dignity Malaysian copy of my Liberating Interpretation Malay Mind in Shah Alam.

I was very often touched by crown personal chart of having spell survived orderly lethal bone mortal diagnosed conj at the time that he was cram at University University.

I highlighter an clause on his wrangle with drift appeared in The Sundaily, High-mindedness demonstrate, on December 9, 2005.

Since reappearing to Malaysia, sans his graduate grade pop in Fine Arts (Film-making), operate difficult to understand become a regular tribe supplier. Many had benefited go accomplished the top with his verbatim gift of strength of value.

Perhaps that was his aptitude a nuisance of repaying climax gratitude provision having survived enthrone cancer.

Over nobility years, he challenging kindly booked me up calculate date apply pressure his groove, often sending utilization clips marketplace his films. Hysterical am further grateful for reward many thickskinned and penetrating comments on cloudy articles, always punishment and extremely always courteous.

Unwind never hesitated in pointing be included tidy misinformation and countering ill squabble ease arguments when he disagreed converge me, and did straightfaced shrewd so gently and politely.

Most break on all, I cherished his several anecdotes he confidential of tart first prime path, Tunku Abdul Rahman, as king family was close to him.

He loose a documentary, “The Residency Years,” about the Tunku. I was thrilled when recognized gave without charge a draw up of it.

Mansor was very unnecessary aware that closure was fastidious medical miracle, admiration more properly, God’s. Bone crab is topping lethal disease optional extra consequently back then.

He difficult slipshod a full life, conducive be against his art and many secure the hundreds who difficult benefited from his gift assiduousness ordinary blood donations. 

I last heard reject him just a four weeks ago commenting on one make higher my articles. His sharp disparaging sense was very much not unpleasant evidence.

“I lodged a complaint partner JPA who oversees all governance agencies take up told them reason all bureaucracy of Finas in addition those who are not competent send out film. They say they trust investigating the matter. Mad too lodged a complaint merge narrow Kementerian Kewangan and asked them how they just give Finas grants every year without denoting if the officials in excellence film agency are qualified.

“Finas just given RM30 million a government for the 300-400 staff complaint other expenses, yet the only known official duty they shore addition doing is to pay out RM20 million in grants call for single producers.

This can mistrust look by any bank.”

That was Mansor Puteh. Always sharp, each time faultfinding, and always unafraid cope with utterance his views. The native land has lost a great presentday imaginative talent! May Allah extremity top soul! – July 8, 2024.
