00:10This is where I served as a prisoner of the Senekedah tree.
00:13Alhamdulillah, I was placed here.
00:15And thank you to the Malaysian Prison Department
00:19for giving me the opportunity to fight in the 2024 Kilauan Mas.
00:30My name is Marsiri Bin Mansur. I'm 53 years old.
00:33I'm originally from Alostat, Kedah.
00:35Now, I'm serving as a prisoner of the Senekedah tree in Darul Aman.
00:40As a prison inspector, I've been serving in this prison for 30 years.
00:46So, with the support of my family and friends,
00:53and especially the head of the prison department, Mr. Nur Haizan,
01:00he has given me the courage and support to continue my career as a singer and musician.
01:10And, Alhamdulillah, I'm part of the Prisoner of the Senekedah band, the Lapwing Band.
01:18As a singer and musician, I'm also involved in many events.
01:40This is our quarters in the Prisoner of the Senekedah tree.
01:45Next to our quarters, there is a field.
01:50So, we can do activities in the evening.
01:54One of our activities in the field is planting.
01:59Planting.
02:01We do sweeping work in one family to clean up the area in this quarters.
02:07So, this is our activity in the field with the family.
02:12Actually, my dream is to become a singer.
02:16Not to be confined, or to be confined or not,
02:20but I want to be able to be a singer.
02:23I'm very eager to be a singer.
02:25I don't want to be a singer.
02:26I'm not saying that I'm stuck, I'm not saying that I'm stuck or not.
02:30When I was given the opportunity,
02:31and the gold medal was returned,
02:33this is the time for me to prove
02:36that I'm not just a villager.
02:39But it's just a space and an opportunity that I'm waiting for.
02:43It's just a desire, maybe a task.
02:46But we try to find a way.
02:49And this is a platform for me to develop my talent,
02:55to fight for my music.
03:01When there was a band called Penjara Kajang at that time,
03:04that's when I started to get involved in the singing world.
03:09In 1995-1996,
03:13I did a lot of performances
03:15involving popular singers.
03:17For example, Dato' Siti Nur Aliza,
03:20Dato' Jama' Abdillah, Zamani Slam,
03:24Ameng Spring.
03:26I found out about Kilawamal's competition.
03:28It's been seven years.
03:30I heard it from my friends.
03:33They said Kilawamal was a joke.
03:35On Facebook,
03:37there was an audition at Alostak.
03:39So I went to see if there was an Estro band.
03:42I'm an Estro fan,
03:44so I knew that there was an audition for Kilawamal.
03:47I came to Sialam because there was an audition in Sialam for three and four months.
03:51SACC Mall.
03:52Oh, I said, I have to go again.
03:54It's okay, I said.
03:55I tried to encourage myself to enter Kilawamal,
04:00even though I was on duty that day.
04:02Then I took a bus.
04:04I got off at KL.
04:06I took my son from KL and went straight to Sialam.
04:09So there was an audition for three months that day.
04:17It's gonna be the same again.
04:21It's the final countdown.
04:25I tried, then I was shortlisted.
04:28I got top 20.
04:30I didn't expect it either, because the contestants were really great.
04:41I tried my best.
04:42My beloved prison department.
04:45I will do my best.
04:47God willing, we will wait for Kilawamal 2024.
04:51Whatever happens, we will be back!
