00:00 The teacher said, "It's okay. If you scold me one day, I'll be there."
00:06 Zainalzin and Anwarzin are an encyclopedia of love.
00:24 When Abu was young, he wrote a love letter and the lyrics were about love.
00:31 That's why I said that Abang Noah and I are an encyclopedia of love.
00:37 What is the formula of Zainalzin as a singer who sings about love?
00:47 Is it a patriotic song? - Yes, it's a patriotic song.
00:54 It's a song about struggle. It was written by Mr. Joe Joharite.
00:59 It's a song about breaking up and love.
01:04 I think I was in the era of love songs.
01:12 People said I was lucky. Every time I released a song, it was about love.
01:17 That's the only song that was popular.
01:21 I was lucky. - Praise be to God.
01:26 People still say that I'm lucky to have a song about struggle.
01:32 There's no formula. I was just lucky.
01:37 The songs that were popular were about love.
01:42 The songs that were written by composers and lyricists were about love.
01:47 So, I was lucky.
01:50 Who was the most memorable and respected composer?
01:55 All of them gave me songs.
01:58 Who were they? - Joe Joharite, Shari Amri, Azlan, Abang Noah.
02:06 Abang Adenan.
02:08 Were there female composers? - Yes, but not many.
02:13 What was her name? Atilia. I've forgotten her name.
02:18 But not many? - No.
02:20 I think Zain Azin was successful.
02:24 I think Zain Azin had a concert.
02:27 But I have to share with you, despite your success...
02:34 ...the difficulties you faced.
02:36 We have to be strict these days. Pak Abu is sure that...
02:40 ...the strictness was worse back then.
02:42 Back then, the news was all over the newspaper.
02:46 But now, it's all over social media.
02:50 It's worse.
02:51 The news is all over the news.
02:53 Back then, there were many reporters who wrote articles.
03:03 Sometimes, as singers, we have to ignore what they say.
03:07 And as singers, we have to see if what they say is relevant.
03:12 Is it biased?
03:14 Or is it sincere?
03:17 We have to understand.
03:19 As time goes by, we'll understand.
03:22 I think it's a good thing.
03:25 I take it as a challenge.
03:27 But there are also those who are biased.
03:30 We have to understand and not take it personally.
03:33 Everyone has their own interests.
03:35 So, Kak Ji, you had to build your name...
03:40 ...by working and singing.
03:46 That was one of the choices you made.
03:49 You had to be a permanent employee.
03:52 After a year, you asked your parents.
03:56 They said, "You decide which one you want."
03:59 So, you decided.
04:01 Your mother and father said, "Do what's right."
04:04 So, by praying for your parents...
04:07 ...by focusing on your work...
04:09 ...by saying, "O Allah, show me the right path. If this is right for me, please make it easy for me."
04:16 O Allah, it's not easy to be successful.
04:20 It's not easy to get this kind of status now.
04:23 We started from scratch.
04:25 We're not like the kids today.
04:28 We're not like the kids today.
04:30 We can't even do our own songs on social media.
04:34 We don't have a cover song.
04:36 We sing for five hours.
04:38 Some people sing one song for five hours.
04:41 Some people sing for an hour and a half.
04:43 It's really hard.
04:44 The kids now have a full song.
04:47 Minus one.
04:48 We didn't have that.
04:50 We'd sing a lot.
04:52 "Zina, this is your song. Memorise it."
04:54 "Where did you get the song from?"
04:56 So, there's a sessionist.
04:58 Yes, like, "This is your new song. You'll hear it when you go to the studio. How is it?"
05:05 How do I get the song?
05:08 It's like you're trying to turn the world upside down.
05:10 It's so hard to be a singer.
05:12 But, people say, "Focus."
05:16 You chose this job.
05:19 You have to face it.
05:22 And, we had to fight for our name.
05:29 Who was it?
05:30 Fozzie Latif.
05:31 Ramlah Ram.
05:32 Aisyah.
05:33 Shima.
05:35 Wings.
05:36 Search.
05:37 The UK was exploding.
05:39 Who are we?
05:40 It's so hard.
05:43 If we don't sell an album, we'd feel like we're a flop.
05:47 But, people say, "Rezeki."
05:50 We continued to sell our stock for RM45,000.
05:54 But, before we stopped, I had to sing in Datang Merdeka.
06:03 I was tired.
06:05 I couldn't sing.
06:07 People cursed me.
06:08 What year was that?
06:10 1991.
06:11 I was in Form 1 in 1991.
06:13 Imagine, it was 1992.
06:16 People said, "We can't sing."
06:17 What should we do?
06:18 We didn't have to.
06:20 But, Kak Ji said, "It's okay. You can curse me all day. I'll be there."
06:27 She promised herself.
06:29 So, I took the job.
06:31 Kak Ji stopped and sang.
06:34 But, at that time, we didn't have a car.
06:39 My father was a police officer.
06:40 He only had a motorbike.
06:42 So, we had to take a taxi.
06:46 It was a round trip.
06:47 From Sya'alam to RTM, it was RM12.
06:50 It was RM12.
06:52 It was expensive at that time.
06:54 RM12 was expensive in the 90s.
06:57 So, we took a taxi.
07:04 The saddest thing was, we were a flop.
07:09 We had our first and second albums.
07:11 But, we didn't have a car.
07:15 One day, we were on a show in Shangri-La.
07:20 Zainal Zain was there.
07:22 He went down from the hotel to the taxi stand.
07:30 He was holding the taxi.
07:32 Were you embarrassed? -No.
07:35 When we were leaving, everyone was leaving.
07:39 The guests were leaving.
07:40 Zainal was about to leave.
07:42 We were waiting for the car.
07:44 We didn't have a car.
07:47 My father said, "It's okay. You can go first."
07:51 He said, "You can go first."
07:53 He said, "If we're late, we'll be embarrassed."
07:56 But, I wasn't embarrassed.
07:58 I was proud.
07:59 I earned with my sweat.
08:02 Praise be to Allah.
08:03 I earned with my sweat.
08:05 I waited for the car.
08:06 But, I was already blind.
08:08 It was hard.
08:11 But, it's okay.
08:12 You cried because you were embarrassed.
08:16 No, I wasn't. -You were satisfied.
08:17 I wasn't satisfied.
08:18 I didn't ask for anyone's help.
08:20 I sang.
08:22 Until the third album.
08:24 We didn't win any competitions.
08:27 We just kept on singing.
08:28 At that time, Maddha Bella was in the competition.
08:30 At that time, Anggapanmu was in the competition.
08:33 What was the title of the second album?
08:34 The second album.
08:36 We were walking and waiting for the taxi.
08:40 There was no taxi.
08:41 But, many reporters and fans were displeased.
08:47 They said, "Why didn't you get the award?"
08:48 "You should get at least one place for the final."
08:51 But, we didn't get any.
08:53 So, we went home.
08:55 My father said, "It's okay. You won't get any award."
08:57 "Allah hasn't given you any award yet."
08:59 But, when I was studying with my father...
09:03 ...I saw the support from the fans.
09:04 I felt so proud.
09:06 I felt so proud.
09:07 There was support from the reporters.
09:10 So, we carried our bags...
09:14 ...and went to the road.
09:17 We went to the road and waited for the taxi.
09:20 We held on to the taxi.
09:21 I couldn't say anything.
09:25 It wasn't easy.
09:29 But, that's what made me strong.
09:32 I said, "Allah, please."
09:34 My father said, "This will make us strong."
09:37 "Don't give up."
09:40 "Take this as a source of energy."
09:45 "Do you remember this?"
09:46 "Yes, I do."
09:48 My father said, "This is not your fortune."
09:52 "It's okay. You'll get it one day."
09:54 "Yes, I do."
09:56 I worked hard.
09:58 I even sang.
10:03 I got one payment for the Sabah trip.
10:08 I got in the car and got in the van.
10:10 I sang here.
10:12 I got in the van and sang there.
10:18 Sometimes, I sang for five hours.
10:23 The next day, I sang for another five hours.
10:24 It was so hard.
10:26 I was so tired.
10:30 But, I said, "It's okay, Allah."
10:33 "This is what made me strong."
10:35 Hardships taught us to appreciate our work.
10:40 To appreciate our time.
10:42 I was always confident.
10:45 I didn't want to be famous.
10:47 I wanted to earn a living.
10:49 For myself and my family.
10:51 I never thought of singing for fame.
10:56 I didn't know what fame meant.
10:58 When our song was released, people came to take a photo of us.
11:02 They screamed.
11:04 I felt weird.
11:07 Didn't you feel like you deserved it?
11:13 No.
11:15 You like to sing.
11:17 I love singing.
11:19 When people came to give feedback, I sang.
11:22 They said, "Do you like it?"
11:24 I said, "I've done my job."
11:27 People say that I'm a living legend.
11:30 I'm a walking legend.
11:32 I'm not a legend yet.
11:35 I'm not a legend for me.
11:36 But, I'm a legend for them.
11:38 I said, "No."
11:39 I'm a diva.
11:41 I said, "No."
11:42 I'm so grateful to Allah.
11:45 Allah didn't give me a headache.
11:48 Praise be to Allah.
11:50 I just focused on my work.
11:52 I prayed to Allah that I'll be strong.
11:54 I'm still young.
11:56 I'll serve the community.
11:58 My work is to serve people.
12:01 My job is to make people happy.
12:05 It's to make people come together.
12:09 That's my job.
12:12 Others don't know about it.
12:14 It's a type of fasting.
12:17 That day, Pak Abu interviewed Anak Melakan.
12:22 Ernie.
12:24 He said the same thing.
12:26 Pak Abu said, "I met Kak Ji for a while."
12:29 "She's a humble person."
12:31 Pak Abu asked Ernie, "Is Ernie a diva?"
12:34 "Because she married an artist."
12:36 He said, "No."
12:37 "I'm sure that's how she raised her family."
12:42 "Like Kak Ji, her father is a police officer."
12:45 "She takes care of her children."
12:47 "She doesn't just take care of the community."
12:49 "She trains her children to be great artists."
12:54 Discipline is the most important thing.
12:56 If you don't have discipline, it's useless.
13:00 Secondly, don't be arrogant.
13:06 You can't always be confident.
13:09 Allah has given us everything.
13:13 I said that, but my mother said,
13:15 "Remember, don't be arrogant."
13:18 "Allah has given us talent."
13:21 "There's a purpose for it."
13:23 "You'll understand what I'm saying."
13:25 "Remember, this is all Allah's."
13:28 "All of this is Allah's."
13:30 "Once you take it, it's gone."
13:33 Kak Ji was scared.
13:37 She said,
13:40 "It's all hers, not yours."
13:44 "Don't be arrogant."
13:47 "It's not ours."
13:50 "It's ours, too."
13:52 "Just think of it that way."
13:54 From what you've shared,
13:58 do you regret being a....
14:01 No.
14:02 I don't regret it.
14:04 I like it.
14:05 I like working in the way I like.
14:10 Not singing is a strange thing for me.
14:14 When I was in confinement,
14:18 I saw my friends singing.
14:20 I was so excited.
14:22 It's the same for me.
14:24 Ernie said the same thing.
14:25 He said, "Please find a show."
14:29 "I want to sing."
14:31 He said, "You're so late."
14:34 "I can't. I'm dead."
14:37 That's what he said.
14:38 He said, "I'm dead."
14:41 He wanted to meet someone.
14:43 He gave me a charge.
14:46 That's right.
14:47 He gave me a charge.
14:51 I don't know how to say it.
14:52 When we meet someone,
14:54 he gives us energy.
14:57 Especially when we meet great people.
15:00 We exchange our energy with them.
15:05 If we have good energy, we'll get good results.
15:08 If we get negative energy,
15:11 we'll be in trouble.
15:13 That's right.
15:14 It's very important.
15:15 Interaction with people is very important.
15:17 That's how we live.
15:19 We live by ourselves.
15:21 It's like a tree.
15:23 You let it grow.
15:25 You don't talk to it.
15:26 It'll dry up.
15:27 I believe that we should talk to trees...
15:31 ...because they understand.
15:33 Kak Ji, I'm not asking you to teach young artists.
15:38 But, please let them know.
15:41 Artists are not for short-term gains.
15:48 They're not for self-pride.
15:50 Please, tell us.
15:52 I don't know what to say.
15:54 But, you know what you want.
15:56 You know what you want.
15:59 Kids these days are smart.
16:01 They say, "Old school, old fashion."
16:05 But, when they're at an age where they can understand what we're saying.
16:10 Kak Ji, I have a message for you.
16:14 Understand the meaning of the singer.
16:20 What is a singer to you?
16:24 What is your understanding?
16:26 What is your job?
16:30 Is it to be popular?
16:32 To be famous?
16:34 Or is it your responsibility?
16:37 Is it your responsibility for the society?
16:41 You have to understand that.
16:44 How long are you going to sing?
16:46 What is your target in your career?
16:51 How are you going to survive?
16:54 I think you know.
16:56 You've heard a lot of senior stories.
17:00 It's to always be humble.
17:03 Always be thankful to the people around you.
17:07 Especially your parents, your friends and your fans.
17:11 And the media.
17:15 You must always be thankful to them.
17:17 And, don't look straight ahead.
17:24 I think you know what I mean.
17:27 Stand on your own two feet.
17:29 Don't look for negative things.
17:34 Don't look for a rock that you can jump on.
17:41 Don't get a negative one.
17:43 Always surround yourself with positive people.
17:47 Even though, along the way, you'll meet negative people.
17:50 You'll meet them.
17:52 If you can handle it, you stay.
17:54 If you can't handle it, you have to go away from them.
17:57 If you're here with me, you'll feel like...
18:01 ...you haven't sung yet.
18:04 We'll ask you to sing a song.
18:06 Because I feel like it's a waste if we interview you.
18:09 Or after the concert, we'll have to sing together.
18:14 Okay, sing two good songs.
18:17 What song should we sing?
18:21 "Di dalam sendu yang teramat"
18:26 "Kulihat sunjaya yang berlabuh"
18:31 "Dan malam pun melepas layar"
18:36 "Kaku aku di sini"
18:40 "Bersama harapan terbakar"
18:47 We're at the balcony today.
18:49 I'm very excited.
18:51 Surya is very excited.
18:52 Because we have an artist like Ziana Zin.
18:54 Please be Ziana Zin forever.
18:57 Please sing. Don't stop.
19:00 As long as you're alive.
19:03 As long as you're needed.
19:05 As long as you're alive. -We need you.
19:07 As long as Allah gives you life and gives you energy.
19:11 But what I want from you is your prayers.
19:15 There's nothing more precious than prayers.
19:21 Prayers are the most precious.
19:23 They're more valuable than the diamond.
19:27 I agree.
19:28 I pray for Ziana Zin to be Ziana Zin forever.
19:32 If Allah wills it.
19:34 Let's say mantap, Pak Abu.
19:36 1, 2, 3. -Mantap, Pak Abu.
19:43 Thank you, Ziana.
19:45 Welcome to Pak Abu.
19:48 Pak Abu.
19:51 Look out.
19:52 Look out.
19:54 Pak Abu in the house.
19:57 Look out.
19:58 (whispering)
