From ‘Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu' to more serious roles
ACTOR Sabri Yunus, who is best known for the sitcom Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu decades ago, has decided to step away from comedy roles, Berita Harian reported.
Sabri, 64, said he made the decision after considering the changing trends of fans, but stressed that this does not mean that he wants to get rid of his 'comedy DNA'.
He said the change was necessary as he needs to move on to more serious roles.
'For me, comedy roles are not something you can continue forever.
'Comedy is seasonal and, at a certain point, it may no longer be appropriate for people to watch.
'If you play a serious role, it might be 'evergreen'. Comedy is for the young; when you're older, it feels awkward.
'Times have changed. I believe comedy should evolve.
'Those who play comedic roles should transition to other roles,' Sabri said at a press conference and premiere of his new film Denu.
> A pair of pythons left behind 67 hatchlings after the reptiles were discovered by a cattle farmer in a village in Kuala Krai, Kelantan, Sinar Harian reported.
Guchil volunteer firefighters chief of operations Mohd Hamdan Mahadi said the man encountered the snake measuring 7.3m in length and weighing about 200kg.
Mohd Hamdan said that upon arriving at the scene, they found a nest with 67 python eggs.
'All of them had hatched. But seven of the baby pythons escaped into nearby bushes.
'We managed to capture 60 of the hatchlings,' he added.
All the captured baby pythons, he said, will be released into their natural habitat in the forest.
