You NEVER EVER MESS with an ENTREPRENEUR'S PASSION


Recently one of my staff collaborated with a Radio station to play a prank call on me. They were successful – in a way. However, the radio station's deejay wished he never did make that call. From the onset of telling me that my film Suatu Malam Kubur Berasap was to be pushed back from the original date of screening of 22nd December 2011 to a later date next year – I BLEW MY TOP IMMEDIATELY AND GAVE HIM A PIECE OF MY MIND. He did not have a chance to really even pranked me as I was giving him a mouthful from what I was going to do to the people that made such a bad and stupid decision on flip flopping their decision. We are already dealt with lots of challenges daily and we sure do not need incompetent people changing decisions at their whims and fancy. I was not happy and will NEVER be taken hostage. I want you all to learn from this episode – NEVER EVER MESS WITH AN ENTREPRENEUR'S PASSION. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS THEIR BABY!

We have invested lots of efforts on making this movie happen and be a blockbuster. Although I am not directly involve, but I know what and how everyone went through to produce SMKB. In my opinion, the deejay deserve to get SCREWED by you.

You can TRY to prank Ernie Chen but in the end NOBODY will succeed to prank Ernie Chen.

Ernie Chen is not only great on TV, conference, newspaper, internet but he is also great on radio!

Ernie Chen THE BEST!

After what had happen, I realize that I am in the RIGHT organization where our General will stand and fight till the end if anyone wish to mess around with his passion or work or staff as long as we are doing our things right. I am really proud that "Suatu Malam Kubur Berasap" being heard by whole Malaysia during the most peak hour in that No1 Radio Station.

I quite dispointed my radio is broken that day if not i can hear how Mr Ernie Chen blow up the deejay. For me, It was rude to prank people for something that they already done with full effort. At least the deejay has learn his leasson that day. Hopefully Suatu Malam Kubur Berasap can be no.1 Blockbouster in the chart!

Geetha said...

Shima Ramli said...

Agreed with that. Seriously!!

Lilian said...

This is indeed very silly of that internal staff and the deejay to collaborate such prank. April Fool Day was already over for this year and why both of them are still in this "Fool Time Zone ".

Noorfa said...

Yes Boss, I agree with you. hehehehe a bit scary when I listening that "Panggilan Hanggit" that day. Good Job Boss!!!!!

sam said...

Good intention but Bad execution. Work as a team, Communicate as a team. Good effort to the colleague thou. Something to learn by the deejay, DO not Prank people on Monday morning!
