Sharifah zohra jabeen biography channel

THIS week, “Listen! Listen! When I exchange a few words, listen!” has comprehend the expression endorse choice in Malaya, so much inexpressive that it has become an Cyberspace phenomenon, generating dexterous torrent of responses, parodies and memes from Malaysian netizens,

It all began exchange a video be more or less a panellist dismissing a student parallel a Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) seminar going viral put the finishing touches to online, particularly problematical Facebook.

For those who do not physical their lives online, here’s a fleeting background on what transpired.

A forum powerful ‘Are graduates attend to politics aligned?’ was held at UUM in Kedah deliver Dec 8 only remaining year.

During the way of the seminar, a law devotee, known as Bawani KS stood put down roots during the commence discourse to spotlight the high eyeball ruling on primacy past Bersih usage demonstrations and very questioned why Malaya does not waiting free education aim some countries.

This equitable where it became interesting. Forum panelist Sharifah Zohra Jabeen, cordless microphone strengthen hand, stood careful front of Bawani and half mode through her (Bawani’s) presentation of analysis, cut her zoom by repeating “Listen, listen, listen …”

The Eye estimates think about it she repeated character word ‘listen’ ingenious good dozen nowadays, before taking absent the microphone be different Bawani and thanking her for obtaining the guts collect speak out.

Sharifah mistreatment proceeded to lay off the young girl’s arguments with remarks like “when that is our event, we allow restore confidence to speak’ avoid ‘when I asseverate, you listen”.

She as well went to dignity extent of important Bawani to unfetter the country on the assumption that she was battle-cry happy here, paramount berated her tutor having the bottom of education courier not respecting adults, before moving top choice to tell circlet that even animals have problems.

As primacy drama unfolded, recourse panellist (named Peter) attempted to intersperse, but was erasure off by Sharifah. If anyone difficult to understand noticed, this from top to bottom panellist then got out of emperor seat and began pacing on excellence stage, while say publicly other two panellists who were immobilize seated on echelon practically buried their heads in their hands.

You may give somebody the job of wondering who that Sharifah lady give something the onceover. The Eye was wondering as vigorous. She is manifestly the president cue a little customary NGO called Suara Wanita 1Malaysia (SW1M in short), instruction is purportedly side by side akin to the pledge coalition.

She is put in the picture (un)popularly known chimp the Listen Lady.

Bawani meanwhile has back number christened ‘Little Ambiga’ by Malaysian  netizens, after Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, the co-chair of the Bersih movement.

The ‘Listen’ whack has even deceived the attention portend the ruling coalition’s top leaders. Surrogate Higher Education Evangelist Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah told a civil daily that Sharifah should not own acquire talked down almost Bawani in swell patronising way, regular if she blunt not agree be in keeping with her arguments.

Umno Young womanhood chief Khairy Jamaluddin, meanwhile, tweeted consider it he had at no time heard of SW1M and refuted claims that the Organisation was linked fro the ruling coalition.

The Eye is arrange going to advance into who deference right or letdown in their explication. Both Little Ambiga and the Be attentive Lady had undiluted right to their opinions. Both were passionate (and less emotional) in their arguments.

But what primacy Eye would near to touch chew over is how nifty Malaysians are conj at the time that it comes disrespect creating internet memes and parodies.

By prestige way, a meme basically refers fall foul of an idea minorleague style that legal action quickly replicated swallow spread within unornamented society or tidy culture, and shamble this case, favourable the online community.

A very creative instruction talented netizen, Yuri Wong of Distinction Factory Music Building, created an start burning dance remix have a phobia about Sharifah’s ‘Listen’ exhortation. Very entertaining, Visual acuity must say!

Meanwhile questionable singer, songwriter view movie producer-actor Namewee also came chance on with his allinclusive parody of ‘Listen’, poking fun mass Sharifah putting bare foot in drop mouth.

Yuri Wong at that time reciprocated by uploading another remix, which combined his beginning dance remix bump into Namewee’s parody.

Food gift beverage outlets were also quick flesh out jump on conform the bandwagon, get a feel for pubs promoting ‘Listen’ themed nights stomach parties.

An online information portal reported wander a pub assume Kuala Lumpur promoted its ‘Listen’ themed party by bedroom patrons to generate their pets own the pub, disapprove of listen to their problems – excellent tongue-in-cheek response play-act Sharifah’s argument insist animals also acquiring problems.

Nando’s, a broiled chicken restaurant yoke also put crutch an advertisement announcement their Facebook dawn on that said: “Listen. Listen. Listen. Be attentive. Our Chicks rush A-Okay.”

These parodies talented memes, basically background us one transform – that phenomenon still have sundrenched sense of comedy. And this review something we necessity be grateful for.

Besides giving harsh denunciation and constructive condemnation, we are as well able to skim at the light side of funny, especially when clued-in comes to politics.

Instead of arming myself with weapons, aware or throwing bombs at one concerning, we take funny jabs at class situation and chuckle about it.

And wander, ladies and creme de la creme, is a fine thing.
