00:00 But what a moment for Ariff Iman and tears, tears in celebration amongst the supporters
00:08 Normally people ask if I'm married, yes I'm married, sorry girls
00:14 Alright guys, welcome back to another episode of Motif Trending
00:24 Lately, Derrick Gani's name is trending a lot
00:28 I'm sure you guys already know or have seen it on social media
00:31 But thank you so much Derrick for taking the time to be with us today
00:34 Firstly, how about we start with you introducing yourself to our audience
00:39 I'm Derrick Gani, I'm 30 years old, I'm from Melaka
00:44 So yeah, I think, and yeah, normally people ask if I'm married, yes I'm married, sorry girls
00:55 Alright, so, we will ask this question to all of our guests
00:59 For you, I think it's very obvious, but what is the motive of trending?
01:04 The meaning of this question is, how can you be trending, what videos can be trending for people out there who may not know?
01:11 Ah, okay, so I got viral because I cried on TV during the match between Malaysia and Korea
01:19 Last week in Qatar
01:23 But what a moment for Arif Ayman
01:25 And tears, tears in celebration amongst the supporters
01:31 So the match is touching, so that's why, how do you call it, I didn't expect the camera to shoot towards me
01:41 Oh, you didn't know?
01:42 No, of course not
01:43 Inside the stadium, there are two big screens, but then they are focusing more on the match
01:49 So, like Derek said before, they didn't know the camera was shooting towards me
01:57 So, we just show our emotion towards the game
02:01 Of course, because at that time, you wouldn't want to focus on the camera, you would focus on the game, right?
02:04 Correct
02:05 Logically, but when did you find out that you were viral?
02:08 When was the first moment that you opened your phone and you were like, "I?"
02:12 That's familiar to people who are viral
02:15 I think during the half-time, my wife sent me a message, "Eh, why are you crying?"
02:22 She knew that I didn't follow the news
02:25 So, I opened my phone for a while and said, "Eh, Taiwan's news has been shared"
02:31 So, I was surprised, "Eh, Taiwan's news has been shared?"
02:34 Wow, he's a world-wide viral, he's not just from Malaysia
02:37 So, Taiwan's news was shared, and then it was strange, right?
02:40 Why did they follow Korea?
02:43 And then, I didn't think long, so we just continued the game
02:47 And then, after the interesting match, we went out of the stadium
02:51 And then, people were like, "Eh, the kid is viral?"
02:54 I was like, "Huh? That's weird, right?"
02:56 "Eh, what's viral?"
02:58 So, they started taking pictures and everything
03:00 "Eh, is this for real?"
03:02 Instantly?
03:03 Yeah, like, when we all just went out of the stadium, it was already chaotic
03:08 Oh, Derek, it's not a coincidence that you already hit an audience
03:12 So, basically, that's the story
03:14 Wow, okay, and that's your reaction
03:17 But what's your family's reaction?
03:19 For example, after you came back to Malaysia, your wife
03:22 Every time you go out, there must be someone who stops you, right?
03:24 Yeah, yeah
03:25 So, actually, when we were in Qatar, it was already chaotic
03:30 Like that, something like that
03:31 So, we were celebrating, not because we were proud of having just one point
03:37 But we were happy that we can draw with Korea
03:41 And at least, it was a bit of the target we wanted to achieve
03:46 When we were celebrating, it was already started
03:48 Like, everybody was taking pictures and everything
03:52 And then, my family, first of all, was in the WhatsApp group
03:56 Our family group
03:57 And then, they were like, "Eh," they posted the crying picture
04:01 The one that was really stupid
04:03 They shared it in the group and everything
04:05 And then, when we came back here, my wife said, "I don't want to have anything to do with you"
04:09 Really?
04:10 Yeah
04:11 Why?
04:12 Because I don't think she wants the attention
04:14 I understand
04:15 Because this is not something that you guys are looking for, right?
04:17 Yes, yes, yes
04:18 Okay, so, all of this happened, plus the virality
04:22 Because of the story that you sold your motorcycle to go there
04:25 Yes, yes, yes
04:26 Right?
04:27 So, what was the source of that decision?
04:29 Like, as a supporter, what made you feel so interested in this match?
04:33 I know our performance was crazy
04:34 Yes
04:35 This time around
04:36 But obviously, that was not something that you could predict
04:38 That's right
04:39 So, why?
04:40 Or did you sell it before this?
04:41 No, no, no
04:42 This was first?
04:43 But, yeah, I think the main reason
04:45 The main reason why I took this hard decision to sell my motorcycle is because of my love for Malaysia
04:52 So, it's always number one
04:54 And, um, it's a long story
04:57 We were planning for this trip for quite a while, I think around one year
05:00 And then, we were compromising little by little
05:05 But then, after, the time was, I think around one week
05:09 I mean, a month before the game, the tournament
05:12 I, like, I think I said, "I cannot"
05:14 Because we were thinking that Katah would be a very expensive place
05:18 So, yeah, I took a hard decision
05:20 Not an easy decision to sell my bike, yeah
05:23 And, okay, for your motorcycle that you sold
05:26 Was that your only motorcycle that you had?
05:29 For motorcycle, yes
05:31 But, I have another car which my wife is using
05:36 But, this is the most common question I get
05:40 But, no, I have another bike in terms of my brother's bike, my father's bike
05:46 So, yeah
05:47 But, it's a good thing that you went there
05:49 Because I think that was one of our best performances so far, right?
05:52 Yes, yes
05:53 Okay, so, my next question is
05:56 After you came back, this thing went viral
06:00 Your livelihood was like, everyone was happy
06:03 Everyone, personally, I think they were very touched
06:06 Because they saw a fellow Malaysian who really wanted to support Malaysia
06:10 Up until now, in all the opportunities you've got
06:12 I think you got a new motorcycle, right?
06:13 Yes
06:14 So, the question is
06:16 Among all the people who want to give you a motorcycle
06:18 Up until now, you've already got five new motorcycles
06:22 No
06:23 How many?
06:24 That one is all online, right?
06:26 So, officially, now, I've already received one
06:30 From our player, national player, Faizal Halim
06:33 I saw that one, the blue one
06:34 Yes, yes
06:35 So, that one is the official one
06:36 So, they
06:37 The others are all unofficial?
06:39 Yes, there are two others too
06:42 I mean, on the way
06:44 I mean, we are still dealing
06:46 So, what's not official?
06:47 Dealing?
06:48 I mean, we are still in the process
06:50 In the process of
06:51 Of back and forth
06:52 Yeah, yeah
06:53 So, officially, it's from our national player, Faizal Halim
06:58 Yeah, I can see his sincerity
07:01 Genuinely
07:02 Because after shooting everything
07:04 He just sent it back to Melaka
07:06 On the spot
07:07 Yeah
07:08 You must have been really touched, right?
07:10 Yes, yes, yes
07:11 After doing all of that
07:12 To go and support
07:13 And then they support you back
07:14 Yeah
07:15 It's like a full cycle thing
07:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah, true
07:17 Okay, so
07:18 The next one
07:19 Is about things that
07:21 Are not so positive
07:24 Obviously, when we are viral
07:25 I'm sure, unintentionally
07:27 We will have the positive
07:28 And obviously, there will be negative too
07:30 So, what we see
07:31 There are a few people
07:33 Not too many
07:34 But some people said that
07:35 The way it's portrayed
07:37 But you are not
07:39 How to say it
07:41 A difficult person
07:42 In quotes
07:43 From the comment
07:44 Because you can go
07:45 Yeah, true
07:46 So, what's your response
07:47 To people who said that?
07:49 Because like I said
07:50 I'm still new in this type of thing
07:52 I'm just a small town boy
07:54 Supporting my country
07:56 So, I choose to ignore
07:59 I mean, as in
08:00 I don't even know how to react
08:03 To this type of comments
08:05 So, I just
08:06 For that post
08:07 I just want to clarify that
08:09 A lot of things that I read online
08:12 Is not from my mouth
08:14 So, yeah
08:16 Just to clear the situation
08:18 And all for the post
08:20 And then, for them
08:22 I think it's lucky
08:25 That I don't know how to read Chinese
08:27 So, a lot of the Chinese comments
08:30 I don't understand
08:31 So, I think it's a good thing
08:33 Because I don't know
08:34 But
08:35 But
08:36 How do you know all the comments are positive?
08:37 So, I don't know
08:38 So, I hope that it's positive
08:40 I understand
08:41 But the other ones
08:42 That I understand
08:43 But mostly
08:44 Mostly, it's positive
08:45 Yeah
08:46 But I think there's one more thing
08:47 If you become viral
08:49 Unintentionally
08:50 It's not like you
08:52 Put yourself in that place
08:54 Like, look at me
08:55 I have struggled so hard
08:56 No
08:57 People can see that
08:58 So, it's not your fault
08:59 In my opinion
09:00 But the next question is
09:01 Back to more positive stuff
09:03 About Hari Malaya
09:04 How long have you been a fan for?
09:06 I think a lot of people want to know
09:07 I think
09:09 For our national team
09:10 Since 2014
09:11 So, I think this year
09:12 Will be the 10th year
09:14 10th year?
09:15 10th year, Derek
09:16 Yeah
09:17 So, in local football
09:18 I mean, Melaka football
09:19 Is around 2016
09:20 But
09:21 Melaka, as you guys know
09:22 It's already
09:23 Hmm
09:24 So, we'll see
09:25 We'll see how it goes for Melaka
09:26 But
09:27 For Malaysia
09:28 I hope that more people
09:30 Will come to support
09:31 Yeah
09:32 Okay, controversial question
09:33 Yeah
09:34 Who's your favourite?
09:36 This one
09:37 For me
09:38 Okay
09:39 I don't want to touch
09:40 A sensitive issue
09:41 As you guys
09:42 Sensitive issue?
09:43 I mean
09:44 As you guys know
09:45 Yesterday was Nils'
09:46 So
09:47 And my previous comment
09:48 I think it will create one
09:50 For me
09:51 It's the whole team
09:52 I don't have a favourite one
09:55 Because
09:56 For me
09:57 For me, it's the team
09:58 It's the team
09:59 Your answer is so media friendly
10:01 It's been a while
10:02 Since it went viral
10:03 His answer is like
10:04 You're still laughing, Derek
10:06 Okay
10:07 So, Derek
10:08 The question that I think is obvious
10:10 For those who are Malaysian
10:11 But I see
10:12 A lot of people
10:13 Who are praising you
10:14 But a lot of people are shocked
10:15 That you're a very patriotic person
10:17 Which I don't understand
10:18 Actually
10:19 But what
10:20 What caused the patriotism
10:22 In your heart?
10:23 To the point that
10:24 You feel like you want to
10:25 Go all the way there?
10:26 I think it's our duty
10:29 To
10:30 Sometimes people will say
10:33 Okay, sometimes if you work
10:34 Overseas
10:35 When you work over 5 years
10:37 You will get PR
10:38 Or something like that, right?
10:39 But for me
10:40 When you're born in that country
10:41 I think
10:42 It's your duty
10:43 It's your
10:44 Simple duty
10:45 To love your country
10:46 With all your heart
10:48 And
10:49 Maybe
10:50 In our current
10:51 Issues in our country
10:53 That
10:54 We will divide some people
10:55 Or anything like that
10:57 But
10:58 The love for your country
10:59 I think is always
11:00 Going to be your number one
11:01 For me, personally
11:02 Alright
11:04 So
11:05 Share a bit
11:06 What are your feelings
11:07 From the time you watched Match
11:09 To what were some of the highlights
11:10 For you?
11:11 Or the atmosphere
11:12 In the stadium
11:13 How was it that day?
11:14 It's crazy
11:15 The words
11:16 I don't think
11:17 The dictionary inside my brain
11:19 Can find the words to describe
11:21 I love it
11:23 How is it?
11:24 Like
11:25 A lot of
11:26 I get
11:27 A lot of questions
11:28 About this too
11:29 I cannot
11:30 I cannot describe
11:31 But the feeling is crazy
11:32 It's really crazy inside
11:34 Whoever was inside the stadium
11:37 They know the feeling
11:38 Because
11:39 We cannot describe
11:40 And then
11:41 I think this is the
11:42 One that you call
11:43 Money can't buy
11:44 Things
11:45 That
11:46 Happened inside the stadium
11:47 So
11:50 After this, which stadium
11:51 Do you want to go to next?
11:52 I think the next one
11:54 Do you have a plan?
11:55 For Oman
11:56 Oman is a
11:57 I think it's a really
11:59 Expensive country
12:00 Because the rate
12:01 I think is
12:02 1 to 12 or 14
12:03 So
12:05 We'll see how it goes
12:06 For Oman
12:07 But the home game
12:08 Definitely
12:09 The home game
12:10 So you don't have a plan
12:11 To go to any international
12:12 Stadiums with Haimah?
12:13 For now, no
12:14 Okay
12:15 I understand
12:16 So
12:17 I want to ask
12:18 After you become
12:19 A celebrity
12:20 There must be
12:21 A lot of things
12:22 In your schedule
12:23 Yes
12:24 Is there a drama
12:25 That will come out?
12:26 Like me and Derek
12:27 Getting married?
12:28 What's your plan after this?
12:29 That one
12:30 I think you have to wait
12:31 For the announcement
12:32 I don't want to
12:34 Touch anything
12:35 I don't want to
12:36 Say anything
12:37 That
12:38 Okay
12:39 Wait
12:40 Amy herself
12:41 Doesn't know if she's joking
12:42 But
12:43 Are you serious?
12:44 We'll see how it goes
12:46 Okay
12:47 If there's a drama
12:48 That will come out
12:49 You blink twice
12:50 Blink twice
12:51 As a sign
12:52 Now he won't blink
12:53 Until the interview is over
12:54 Poor Derek
12:55 He has to
12:56 So
12:57 Do you have any plans
12:58 That you can share?
12:59 Maybe you can't
13:00 Share the drama
13:01 Because like I said
13:02 I'm still new
13:03 So I don't know if I can
13:04 Or not
13:05 Say about this type of thing
13:06 But
13:07 I do have some
13:08 Proposals
13:09 So
13:10 Yes
13:11 Okay
13:12 So if we can't ask about that
13:13 Because we're not sure
13:14 If we can share
13:15 Is that something
13:16 That you're interested in?
13:17 The netizens have sent it
13:18 So
13:19 Let's just give them
13:20 What they asked for
13:21 Yeah
13:22 Okay
13:24 Okay then
13:25 Thank you so much Derek
13:26 All the best
13:27 For the drama
13:28 Or song
13:29 That you're going to release
