The Life and Times of TV Datuks

Honestly, I don't understand what's happening to our tv shows right now. I'm getting tired of watching Malay dramas that are so predictable. Everyone seems to be Datuks, Datins or some conglomerate of a supposedly money making company who have Sazalis(I'm referring to the good for nothing Sazali character from Anakku Sazali) for children. If the Datuks and Datins are lucky, they'll get the good and sensible ones but that rarely happens and they usually come in the form of anak angkats(adopted children) or perhaps a distance relative of some sort.

Beware Datuk!

Datuk, when you're a mogul you're bound to be envied by others and that's where that blood sucking, power hungry brother-in-law of yours comes along complete with a knife and fork and maybe even a can of whip cream ready to grabbed your lovely 'pie' from your bare hands. Oh, and lets not forget those children of yours. They too want a piece and probably more if they're smart,of the pie. Now, don't you wish you've used the cane with your Sazalis?

But, alas,you can't turn back time now can you? So don't be surprised to find... Good Gracious! It's your love child!...who after 25 years had finally mastered the courage to visit you and to what else? To claim his/her share of the pie because he IS your son/daughter.

Poor Datuk. What are you to do now? Well, since your hair isn't getting any blacker(Nevermind, you can always colour it), why not 'bukak another cawangan'? You know, live life to the fullest?. After all, it's only a matter of time before one of those 'pie' seekers kills you while you're being warded at the hospital due to a sudden heart attack.
