Hello everyone, so this review is on the Sybil Kathigasu mini series biopic who bravely defied the Japanese Occupation of Malaya. Ready?

The Story

So, the story starts out with Sybil having a normal life with her family. Unfortunately, this happens in the midst of World War II and it happens around the same time that my grandma (RIP) was force into marriage age 16!
Sybil worked desperately to fight with the Guerillas and sadly was captured によって the Japanese soldiers in the end. I totally salute her for that, in fact we have a 通り, ストリート name after her in her honour here in Ipoh!
It was also sad that her youngest daughter had allegedly committed suicide and there was no record of her after her marriage. Olga Kathigasu outlived both her mother and sister until her death on 6th September 2014, I saw her in the flash 12 years 前 when there was a play about her mother which came to Ipoh. Really ハート, 心 wrenching and painful to watch, to say the least!

The Cast

I was so impressed with Elaine Daly's 芝居 as the タイトル character, ironically Elaine is Sybil Kathigasu's grand-niece and I was really surprise によって this when I first found out about this fun fact. Elaine's 芝居 really amazed me and I have to salute her for that!
When I first saw her, I could NOT recognise Elaine at all thanks to the make-up departments. As a matter of fact, she resembles Sybil!
A couple of the supporting cast I actually knew and I am really amazed によって their 芝居 as well. So, a round of applause for them too.

The Setting

Considering that I grew up in Ipoh, the setting is actually set here in Ipoh. As mentioned, there is a 通り, ストリート name after her and I am glad that the museum is still around.

I Salute あなた Sybil

This 記事 is really sad when 書く this and I am very happy that Sybil is look up to as a heroine during World War II alongside Lim Bo Seng, her Singaporean counterpart.
