The set of Atomic Jaya.

The FSSH yearly theatrical performance was held on 20 - 22 December 2018 with much fanfare and hype.  For this performance, the production team had decided to stage Atomic Jaya, a humorous play written by Singapore-based Malaysian playwright Huzir Sulaiman. This play was a political satire which mainly focused on the government founding a secret organisation which was building an atomic bomb for Malaysia. Filled with humour and numerous thought-provoking instances, Atomic Jaya depicted several post-colonial issues, prompting its audience to question the notion of excessive national pride, presenting the voices from different people within the Malaysian society.

The play was directed by Ali Motamedi and performed by fellow students of TAR UC with the guidance of the lecturers. The performance commenced at 6.30pm and came to an end by 8.00pm. TAR UC had the honour to welcome Mr Huzir Sulaiman, who had come all the way from Singapore to attend and enjoy the performance on Saturday night. Mr Huzir also took the time to meet with the cast and crew after the play to hear their thoughts on the play and what it meant to them as the current generation. The production team was pleased to see the auditorium filled with audience members ranging from young children to mature adults It was a successful and wonderful performance as the play was well received by the audience especially Huzir Sulaiman himself, who lauded the production team for staging a brilliant and thoroughly entertaining show.
