MK 2 - the comedy goes on

Yours truly (KC) at the Actors Studio @ Bangsar Shopping Centre

.

A group of 20 toastmaster members from Speakers’ Dream Toastmasters Club went to support the opening show of Monti and Logi on Thursday 8 January 2009. Yes, we have a good and hearty laugh watching the comedy performance – Malaysia Kini 2 – which Monti and Logi are really good at.

It was a continuous laugher of 90 minutes with no break during performance. The laughter is contagious and at times causing secondary ripple effect – the other audiences laugh because of some funny laughter in the hall.

Logi, acted by Distinguish Toastmaster K. Loghandran, is a World Award Winner in Public Speaking. click here and here. He is excellent in mimicking the voice of past Work Ministry, Datuk Seri Samy Velu. The favourite quote from Logi’s past performance is “Where There is a Will, There is a Highway (way)!”

In MK2, there is one part where a philosopher Swami Mahaguru Shockalingam (acted by Logi) who is back from India with his assistant Elvis Laddubonda (acted by Monti) to teach his students on what is life and try to understand why some people behave the way they do.

Interwoven in the scene is the chanting by Swami: La Ipsa loquita… Veni vidi vici … Lambada … Lavida loca … La prima Italia … Caveat emptor … Cest la vie …

Of course, the Swami also comments on the Malaysian politics sex video of Choi Soi Lek. One of the funniest moments is that Swami revealed that he is actually Samy Velu. Due to bad time, he has to change to survive. As you can see, the chants are actually Latin, French and legal words.

Partial synopsis of MK2

This is a collection of short comedies that tell the story of Malaysians coming back to the country, how the country has changed and some finding ways to adapt to the life. It starts of with a comparison of 2008 and 2009

The Landslide of Bukit Antarabangsa.

Paul Kok returning to Malaysia after many years working in Singapore. After being retrenched he comes back to find his life here in Malaysia. He met up with his old friend Peter Kok at a snooker parlor to explore opportunities in this country.

Dr Chua and Samy velu

We also have two fathers who migrated from India and China and how they make it in this land of opportunity and how they observe the Idiosyncrasies of life – to stay or migrate to Singapore.
