Golongan Ustaz pemburu hantu setan jembalang

Itu je la balik-balik dalam cerita hantu Melayu di panggung wayang. Itulah yang menyebabkan golongan ustaz ni boring.

"An ustaz's role has become so cliched in local films that they are shown as a person that wards off spirits and ghosts, while their real task is to guide the community to the right path.

"An ustaz should be seen as a preacher who encourages Muslims to do good on earth," he said, following the proliferation of local horror movies revolving around ghosts and spirits of late.

He said the misrepresentation occurred because most directors or scriptwriters of local horror films did not have an indepth knowledge of Islamic missionary work and did not know how to include such elements in their films.

"If the director or writer understands the work of an Islamic preacher, they can insert such elements to the role of the ustaz so that the younger generation understands their role in the community."

Lagi satu cliche, bila tak jadi tukang halau hantu setan jembalang, kalau yang muda hensem sikit, mesti masuk cerita cinta meleleh air hingus punya.

Aku pasti ada jalan cerita lain yang boleh dibuat. Tapi entahlah... hiburan kan? Ustaz ni part mana yang boleh masuk part hiburan kalau tak jatuh kat cliches di atas tu?

Apapun, aku sentiasa berbaik sangka dengan golongan Ustaz. Di bahu mereka terpikul beban agama yang berat. Kita ni layan cerita hantu je.
