00:00Hi, Assalamualaikum. We meet again on the latest week of Borak Celebrity with me, Fali.
00:19My name is Dina Nazer and this week we have someone else.
00:24This is for me, Dina. A versatile singer.
00:29That's right. I totally agree. She's a versatile singer.
00:32And if she just opens her mouth and sings Happy Birthday, I'm going to cry.
00:37Maybe lately she's been singing a lot of songs.
00:39Semut, Pegawat, Satu-Satu.
00:41Well, she's still a baby.
00:42Oh, yes, yes.
00:43It can't be that suddenly, at the end, her child will be shocked.
00:48What's her name? Khalisa Insyrah.
00:50Her name is so good.
00:51And this week we're together with Khairul Azmi.
00:55What a full name.
00:57Or Azmi Saad.
00:58Assalamualaikum.
00:59Waalaikumsalam.
01:00How are you?
01:01Alhamdulillah.
01:02Alhamdulillah.
01:03I'm finally here.
01:04Alhamdulillah.
01:05I always watch you on YouTube.
01:07She's a Borak Celebrity fan.
01:09Seriously.
01:10She's not interested in us, she's interested in Borak Celebrity.
01:13That's right.
01:14Seriously.
01:15That's right.
01:16What did she say at the beginning?
01:18Two weeks ago we were with Yabang.
01:21That's right.
01:22What did she say at the beginning?
01:23Fali, I can't wait to ask you this question.
01:26Last week, I was watching...
01:27No, I was listening to Yabang.
01:29She was watching.
01:30I was like, don't miss it, don't watch it.
01:33The baby is nervous.
01:35She's listening.
01:36She's listening to Dato' Zainal Abidin.
01:37Dato' Awan.
01:38Seriously.
01:39That's right.
01:40I'm so touched.
01:42Okay, we're going to test.
01:44What's your favourite episode so far?
01:46There's a lot.
01:48Amongst them, Aming Spree.
01:50Dato' Zainal Abidin.
01:52There's a lot more.
01:54Let's lift ourselves up.
01:57Today, we're going to talk about Azmi Saad.
01:59That's right.
02:00We know that you started in the industry professionally.
02:08There's an icon who just joined...
02:11Abang Rachel.
02:12...who fell in love with your voice to sing Mojo.
02:15But that started as a professional.
02:17You started as a singer.
02:19How old were you?
02:20I got to know music when I was 11 years old.
02:25I didn't want to play music.
02:29But my teacher told me to.
02:32I went to a private school in Johor Bahru.
02:36There were only 60 students in one school.
02:39We were the students.
02:41We were the teachers.
02:42We were the teachers.
02:43The school wanted to form a band.
02:45They had to pick the right students.
02:48They asked me to play guitar.
02:49I learned how to play guitar.
02:50That's when I fell in love with music.
02:54I knew how to play guitar.
02:56I thought it was fun.
02:58There was a singing competition.
03:00I joined in.
03:01That's how I got involved.
03:03I just did school activities.
03:06If I really got money from singing, it was after school.
03:11I had a friend who got a job with an open house.
03:18He got a job, but he didn't have a keyboard player.
03:21He didn't have a keyboard player to accompany him.
03:23He asked me to accompany him while he sang.
03:26That was the first time I got money.
03:30I heard that you were good at playing guitar and keyboard.
03:35I was told to play guitar, but I wasn't good at it.
03:40At first, I played guitar.
03:42But I didn't have a keyboard player.
03:44So, I played keyboard more than guitar.
03:47Now, I can play keyboard, bass, and drums.
03:52But I can't play guitar.
03:55That's just the beginning.
03:58There are so many guitarists.
04:00It's easy to find a guitar player on Facebook.
04:04But it's hard to find a keyboard player.
04:07You're right.
04:10When you were told to play guitar, did you know you could sing?
04:16I didn't know.
04:17But I knew that I couldn't sing.
04:19But it didn't sound good.
04:21It didn't sound good?
04:22It didn't sound good because I didn't have a melody.
04:25I didn't have a strong feel.
04:28But I knew that I couldn't sing.
04:32You grew up in Mersing, Johor?
04:35I was born in Mersing.
04:38I lived in a boarding house until I was 9 years old.
04:41I went to a private school.
04:43So, I grew up in a boarding house.
04:45So, you were born in Johor?
04:46Yes, I was born in Johor.
04:48We're from Johor.
04:50Johor people are talented.
04:52You're right. I'm talented.
04:54I have a lot of stories to tell.
04:56Are you from Johor?
04:57Yes, I'm from Johor.
04:58I'm from Pontian.
04:59You were born there, right?
05:00Yes, I was born there.
05:01People say that Johor people are naughty.
05:03You're right.
05:04You're right.
05:05I'm not a naughty person.
05:07I'm not a naughty person.
05:08I'm a blessed person.
05:09A blessed person.
05:11Don't press it, Mi.
05:13Don't press it.
05:15I'm not going to press it.
05:17Okay.
05:18I heard that you studied music.
05:20You grew up and went to school in JB.
05:22That's right.
05:23You went to KL.
05:24When and why?
05:25When and why?
05:26I was in Johor Bahru until I was in the fourth grade.
05:29I was close to the seniors.
05:32So, when I was in the fourth grade, I wanted to join the fifth grade.
05:34Were your feet clean?
05:35No, they weren't.
05:36The seniors didn't like it.
05:38The seniors didn't like it?
05:39No, they didn't.
05:40The seniors liked it.
05:41It's because I was in a band with the seniors.
05:44I understand.
05:45When the seniors left, I felt like I had no friends.
05:49I felt like I had to move.
05:51I felt like I had to move.
05:53When I was in the fourth grade, I was asked to move...
05:55...so that I could go to a private school in Tapak.
05:58So, I went to SPM and STPM in KL.
06:01I went to STPM in St. John, Bukit Nenas.
06:03Wow.
06:04ST...
06:06ST...
06:07STI.
06:08I just said St. John.
06:09St. John Institute.
06:10That's right.
06:11STI.
06:13Were you still playing music in secondary school?
06:16Yes, I was still playing music in primary school.
06:18I was still learning to play the dikir barat in Tapak.
06:22I was still learning to play the dikir barat in Tapak.
06:24I played percussion.
06:26You were active.
06:27I played percussion.
06:28I joined all the music related activities.
06:32You were active.
06:33Okay.
06:34After school, did you continue to play music?
06:39Or did you have other jobs?
06:40Yes.
06:41Did you have other jobs?
06:42Yes, I did.
06:43When I was in school, I already knew and loved music.
06:49I was determined to make music after school.
06:53I didn't know what I would become.
06:55I just wanted to explore everything related to music.
06:58Okay.
06:59When I was in school, I learned how to make recordings.
07:02I made recordings using a computer.
07:04There was a software.
07:05I borrowed it from a friend.
07:07I took the pirated version and studied it.
07:09I tried it.
07:12If we don't have a microphone, we can't buy it.
07:15We used earphones.
07:17We connected it to a radio.
07:21We used the earphones as a microphone.
07:24As long as I can make a recording, I can make a demo.
07:30Really?
07:31If you want to listen to the song, I already released it.
07:35I worked with Ezra Kong.
07:37The title of the song is Tulus.
07:39That was the first demo I made.
07:41I studied recording.
07:42I think I was six years old.
07:45That was the first song you made, Tulus.
07:47But you just recorded it again.
07:49That's right.
07:50You just started.
07:51That's right. It was two years ago.
07:54When I wanted to explore, I learned a lot.
07:57I learned how to make recordings, lyrics, etc.
08:00After I finished my STPM, I got my first job.
08:05It was an open house.
08:07I finished my STPM in 2007.
08:11I got my first job in 2008.
08:13I got three jobs in a year.
08:16The others were just annoying.
08:19In 2009, I didn't have a name.
08:23It was hard to get a job as a singer.
08:26I had to find another job to make a living.
08:31In 2009, I joined a singing training center in Brickfields.
08:35It was a Malaysian blind association.
08:38I learned how to learn to sing.
08:40I learned how to use a computer.
08:42I studied singing for a year.
08:44In 2010-2013, I got my first job as a massage therapist.
08:51I did reflexology.
08:53I massaged people's bodies at home.
08:55While I was there, I studied and worked.
08:59If there was anything related to music, I would focus on music.
09:04If there was a karaoke competition, I would focus on my work.
09:07You mean, if there was a singing competition, you would focus on your work.
09:12I don't listen to music.
09:15You've been on leave for a long time.
09:21So, you joined a lot of singing competitions.
09:24I lost a lot of times.
09:27How did you lose?
09:29We learn from experience.
09:32I like to explore.
09:34When I lose, I compare it to the winner.
09:41I like that.
09:43But, I'm not like Dina.
09:45She went to get a degree.
09:47She didn't know.
09:49She researched.
09:51It's dangerous.
09:53But, as Azmi said, you learn from experience.
09:56You don't have a real teacher.
09:58You don't have a real mentor.
10:00That's why you compare.
10:02But, the struggle you went through is what made you the best vocalist in Malaysia.
10:10I'm not like that.
10:12I'm a singer.
10:14I can judge.
10:21Don't stop.
10:23Keep going.
10:24If not, do you think it's easy to win the heart of Edry Abdul Halim?
10:29That's a difficult thing.
10:32He has a lot of experience.
10:34But, when he heard Khalif Baskas perform that song,
10:38...he fell in love with him and asked him to join AGL.
10:41Azmi will have to answer that.
10:43But, is Khalif Baskas a friend of yours?
10:46Yes.
10:47After school, we usually meet at the blind association.
10:54Zaki was the first one to join.
10:57He's playing bass now.
10:59Then, I joined.
11:01Then, Fendi, Nadira and Nirwan.
11:05We met at the association.
11:07He's active in band competitions and singing competitions.
11:10That's when we knew he's a good guitarist.
11:13We got to know each other and formed a band.
11:16When we were in KL, we saw Baskas.
11:20It was a group of normal people.
11:23We thought of giving it a try.
11:25We wanted to show our talent.
11:27But, we didn't have the money.
11:29So, we were on the spot.
11:31One day, in February 2014,...
11:34...we decided to give it a try.
11:37I happened to have a speaker at the time.
11:39I went there at 5 pm.
11:41I was working at the Hospital Matahusin On.
11:44I worked as a surgeon.
11:46I got back from work, packed my things and went to Brickfields.
11:51It was a public bank in Brickfields.
11:53We did busking there.
11:55On the first day, we got a welcome.
11:57It was a group of normal people.
12:00It was fun.
12:01But, I quit my job.
12:03It was a bummer.
12:08We're not playing with oil anymore.
12:11We're playing with instruments.
12:13That's what we want.
12:15It's fun to do what we love.
12:17We get to find our blessings with what we love.
12:21How did you get to perform at Sogo?
12:27It's a hotspot.
12:29We were in Brickfields for about four months.
12:32At that time, NU Central had just opened.
12:35NU Central called us to perform at NU Central.
12:39It was just about to open.
12:41Many shops had not opened yet.
12:43They gave us an allowance.
12:45It was fun.
12:46We got three months.
12:48When we play music at the same place, it's a bit boring.
12:52So, we wanted to find something different.
12:55So, we went to Tokopedia Rahman.
12:58It was your own initiative.
13:00At that time, all of us couldn't see each other.
13:03Except for the guitarist.
13:05So, we lined up.
13:07We all walked together.
13:09We all held each other's shoulders.
13:11So cute.
13:12We pushed trolleys and speakers.
13:14We decided to park at an empty space.
13:17We tried to play.
13:18There were also people gathering.
13:20At that time, Sogo was full of people.
13:24There was a band for two hours.
13:27There were a few days when the band didn't show up.
13:31We tried to get in.
13:33The first and second time was okay.
13:35The third time, the band showed up.
13:37They said, we usually play at this time.
13:39So, we packed up.
13:41Sad.
13:42So, we packed up.
13:43We looked for another place.
13:45It was about to start.
13:46Eventually, the band showed up.
13:48We just played here.
13:49They didn't show up.
13:50So, from 12am to 3pm...
13:52...everyone knew about the Kalibaska slot.
13:54Okay.
13:55Everyone started.
13:57Everyone wanted to see it.
13:59But, to look for...
14:01I didn't realize that...
14:03...Basker wanted to look for a place to play.
14:06It was difficult.
14:08Back then, we had our own initiative.
14:11We looked for a suitable place.
14:13We asked the management.
14:15But, Sogo didn't have a management.
14:17We just wanted to communicate...
14:19...with the previous Baskers.
14:21We didn't want to fight.
14:23That's right.
14:24Back then, we played at 12am to 3pm.
14:28But, we were late.
14:30There were other Baskers.
14:31There was one band.
14:32But, they were out of time.
14:34So, we said, we usually play at this time.
14:36No, no.
14:37It's up to them.
14:39They can't play at that time.
14:41It's okay.
14:42We just gave up.
14:44It's not our place.
14:46So, we played...
14:48...not too far from them.
14:50Then, they came to us.
14:52That's right.
14:54That's an idea.
14:58It's ridiculous.
14:59Azmi, do you have any experience?
15:01Maybe this story can be an inspiration...
15:03...for those who are listening and watching.
15:06What difficulties did you face as a Basker?
15:10The most difficult was the transport.
15:12We couldn't see anything.
15:14So, there was no transport.
15:16We didn't have Grab or...
15:19E-healing.
15:21So, we used a taxi.
15:23We couldn't call for a taxi.
15:26We went to the side of the road.
15:28We called him.
15:29He came to our house.
15:30He came and saw a lot of things.
15:33He said, sorry.
15:34We couldn't send him.
15:35We had to find another taxi.
15:36I understand.
15:37Especially when we played at Jalan Taukabur Rahman.
15:40It was during fasting month.
15:41The taxi didn't want to come in.
15:42It was a jam.
15:43That was the most difficult.
15:44The transport.
15:45Or another difficulty was...
15:47...we had to pack our stuff and it rained.
15:49So, we couldn't see anything.
15:51We had to pack our stuff.
15:53We had to find a place to sleep.
15:54It stopped raining.
15:55We had to pack our stuff.
15:56Then, we had to play our first song.
15:57It rained again.
15:58That was the most difficult.
15:59But, when we do what we like...
16:01...we will enjoy it.
16:02That was the most difficult.
16:04Well, every job has its own difficulties.
16:08But, when we like it...
16:10...we won't feel tired.
16:12We won't feel tired.
16:13But, we will be happy.
16:14We will be satisfied.
16:15You can do it with your friends...
16:17...who grew up together.
16:18That's right.
16:19So, you can enjoy it.
16:21That's right.
16:22You can motivate each other.
16:24That's right.
16:25Mie, be honest.
16:27During your busking...
16:29...how much did you earn?
16:31I knew he would ask about the income.
16:33Because, Falik's money is fast.
16:35It's okay, Mie.
16:36Just let it go.
16:37If you want to spend money on Falik and Dina...
16:39...just let it go.
16:40I'm just kidding.
16:41I don't want to tell you.
16:44I'm just kidding.
16:46Mie, what's the average income?
16:48How much can you earn?
16:49It's normal.
16:50It's enough to live in KL.
16:53Praise be to God.
16:54I think Azmi will divide it to five.
16:57It's the same.
16:58That's right.
16:59When we do busking...
17:02...the more we do busking...
17:04...the longer we do busking...
17:05...the more we earn.
17:06But, to be honest...
17:07...we can't fight it now.
17:09Now, there are too many buskers.
17:11They're everywhere.
17:12Some are moving around.
17:14So, the collection is different.
17:16Some say it's slow.
17:18I understand.
17:19In the past, it was exclusive.
17:21Especially when buskers came to AJL.
17:25Now, buskers are increasing.
17:28People are starting to appreciate buskers.
17:31Compared to before...
17:32...my uncle came from Johor...
17:35...because he saw us busking on YouTube.
17:38He wondered why I had to ask for charity.
17:42He came to KL to see my activities.
17:45He told me about it after I succeeded.
17:48They didn't understand the concept of busking.
17:50That's right.
17:51But, now, there are too many buskers.
17:53That's right.
17:54They're all the same age.
17:56It's like in Jakarta.
17:58There are two more doors.
18:00There are two more doors.
18:01Paman.
18:02Is his name Paman?
18:03What's his Indonesian name?
18:04Pengaman.
18:05Pengaman.
18:06Paman.
18:07Paman means uncle, right?
18:08Paman means uncle.
18:09What's wrong with you?
18:10Paman means Pengaman.
18:12But, if...
18:14I can't do it.
18:16I'm embarrassed.
18:18What do you think, Amie?
18:19But, if I can...
18:21...give advice to buskers...
18:24Yes.
18:25Take care of the quality when you're busking.
18:28If you want to sing, make sure you sing well.
18:31Learn to make music properly.
18:33Make sure that when you give the best performance...
18:36...people will appreciate buskers in Malaysia...
18:38...as good musicians.
18:40That's right.
18:41I've met a lot of people...
18:43...who just want to make money.
18:45They're disturbing the busking industry.
18:49To be honest, I really appreciate buskers.
18:52If I meet them, I'll give them some money...
18:55...to appreciate them.
18:57Compared to those who ask for donations...
19:00...I really appreciate buskers.
19:02That's right.
19:03That's the difference between effort, energy...
19:06...and art.
19:08Art has value.
19:11Sometimes, we stop and wait for a while...
19:14...and then we give.
19:16For example, if I have RM10...
19:18...and I want to give RM2 to a busker...
19:20...I'll take RM8 from the busker.
19:22That's not appreciation, Falik.
19:24I just want to give.
19:25You don't have to give.
19:27RM2.
19:29I'm kidding, Amie.
19:32We want to ask you about AJL.
19:35Yes.
19:36When you met Handsome Boy.
19:40Handsome Boy.
19:42Hi, Audrey.
19:45Did you expect that, Amie?
19:47Yes.
19:48How did you meet him?
19:49There were a lot of other composers...
19:51...who talked to you, Khaled Basker.
19:53Was there?
19:54Before Khaled Basker, I recorded a single.
19:59It's on YouTube.
20:01I forgot the title.
20:03I recorded it.
20:05It's Harun Ahmad's song.
20:08Harun Ahmad is a blind composer.
20:10He composed Jasnita.
20:13I recorded it.
20:18I don't want to say this.
20:20It's a family matter.
20:22Since I married my wife...
20:24...she said she didn't want to be left alone at night.
20:29Okay.
20:30When I recorded the single...
20:33...I was given a schedule to go to Sabah.
20:37I couldn't commit.
20:39We didn't sign a contract.
20:42I had to follow the schedule.
20:45I couldn't commit.
20:47I should have told you earlier.
20:50The project didn't work out.
20:52But the song was on the radio and YouTube.
20:56The title was Takkan Mungkin.
21:00I listened to Khaled Basker.
21:02I didn't want to be an artist.
21:04Basker was enough.
21:06I wanted to make music.
21:08I recorded a video to promote Khaled Basker...
21:13...so I could get a job and perform.
21:16So people could see you.
21:18I recorded it and uploaded it to YouTube.
21:21One of the songs was Roman Cinta.
21:24Mojo was able to join AJL...
21:28...but Awira left Mojo.
21:31So he looked for singers.
21:33He asked a few professional singers.
21:38He found our video on YouTube.
21:44The drummer was walking down Tokam Doraman...
21:49...and he saw us performing.
21:52That's how it happened.
21:54Abang Zaki contacted me.
22:00He said he was an ADRI from KRU.
22:03He wanted to invite Khaled Basker to join AJL.
22:08Abang Zaki didn't believe him.
22:10He told me about it.
22:12Someone called him and said he was an ADRI.
22:14He wanted to invite him to join AJL.
22:16The other friends said he was lying.
22:20We didn't know who he was.
22:22It was ADRI who contacted him.
22:24Suddenly it was AJL.
22:28He asked if we could meet on the 25th.
22:31Did you have a busking?
22:32Yes, we had one in Sogo.
22:34After the busking, he arrived.
22:37He sang the last song.
22:39He said he was an ADRI.
22:41We had a drink.
22:43Then he told me about AJL and Awira leaving.
22:47He needed a singer.
22:49After the meeting, we didn't make a decision.
22:52We didn't know if we should take it or not.
22:55AJL is not a small company.
22:57After a few days, we thought it was a good opportunity.
23:01If we didn't take it, we wouldn't get another chance.
23:04We told him we wanted to take it.
23:08We practiced twice.
23:11The funny thing is, when we were about to enter the stadium...
23:17...I met Tok Ram.
23:19I couldn't help but sing.
23:21You must have been nervous.
23:23I had just recovered from a fever.
23:26Maybe it was because I was about to grow up.
23:35When I recorded the cover video...
23:38...I was able to sing a half note higher than the original key.
23:43We couldn't hear the song.
23:46We just sang along.
23:48We didn't know how the original song was arranged.
23:51I sang a half note higher.
23:53But when I sang in the stadium, I couldn't reach the key.
23:56I was stressed.
23:58It was a Friday night.
24:01I was stressed.
24:03I couldn't even reach the key on Saturday.
24:05I was quiet on Saturday night.
24:07I didn't talk to anyone.
24:09That night, I decided to lower the key.
24:13In the final, I lowered the key from the original key.
24:18That's how I got my voice.
24:20Since then, my voice has become louder.
24:24When I was in AJL...
24:27...I could feel his aura and energy.
24:30He was standing ovation.
24:32Who are these people?
24:35When he sang, I could feel his soul.
24:39His aura.
24:42It was a combination of many elements.
24:45One was the surprise.
24:46People didn't know who was going to perform.
24:48Who was going to sing?
24:50When I found out, I was shocked.
24:52I didn't expect to see him.
24:55I didn't expect him to sing well.
24:57There were many things that could be improved.
24:59The best performance.
25:02Yes, with Edry's feel.
25:04I've never seen him before.
25:06He was so handsome.
25:09I lost my focus.
25:11I'm sorry.
25:15Did Edry want to do it alone?
25:20Yes, he wanted to do it alone.
25:23I don't think he would dare to say it.
25:27He didn't want to be in a group.
25:29Sometimes, we don't have a vocalist.
25:31We just need a vocalist.
25:33We have a guitarist and keyboardist.
25:35He planned everything.
25:37Yes, he offered everything.
25:39He didn't want to do it alone.
25:42How much did you get?
25:44RM12,000.
25:45We split it.
25:47RM6,000 for Mojo and RM6,000 for us.
25:49We can reveal this.
25:52We have to split the RM6,000.
25:54There's a reveal on TV.
25:59How did your life change after AJL?
26:04After AJL, we didn't get enough rest.
26:06We had a full schedule for a year.
26:10We didn't get enough rest.
26:12We didn't get enough rest.
26:14We had to go back to back.
26:16We had to go back to back.
26:18We had to go back to back.
26:20You became a phenomenon.
26:22Phenomenon?
26:26You became a phenomenon.
26:28It's like a fairy tale story.
26:31You became a hero from nobody.
26:33You became a hero from nobody.
26:36My wife and I had a lot of disagreements...
26:41...because we didn't have time for him.
26:44But, praise be to God, we showed him that we can...
26:47...give him time.
26:50How did you convince him?
26:56We argued, but if I had free time, I'd message him.
26:59If I had free time, I'd message him.
27:03He should be taught a lesson.
27:07That's his problem.
27:09He's the one who convinced him.
27:14I'm sorry to ask, but did you see him since he was a kid...
27:18...or did you see him when he was born?
27:20I saw him when he was born.
27:23I could see him when he was 12.
27:26If I rode a bicycle, I'd avoid it.
27:28If I rode a lorry or a car, I'd avoid it.
27:30But, if I wanted to read, I couldn't.
27:33I couldn't see the colour. It was just black and white.
27:37When did you see him for the first time?
27:39When he was 13.
27:41I didn't realise.
27:43I thought I saw him, but I was walking on the sidewalk.
27:46I thought, I didn't see him.
27:48That's when I realised.
27:52How did you feel when you saw him for the first time?
27:54How did you feel?
27:56I didn't see him.
27:58I didn't see him at all.
28:01I was just walking.
28:04I didn't see him that much.
28:07I didn't feel lost.
28:09He's a happy-go-lucky guy.
28:12He's a positive guy.
28:14Sometimes, when I go for an interview...
28:17...or for a documentary...
28:20...he asks me to be sad.
28:22I can't.
28:24Is there a sad story you can share?
28:26No, I'm just happy.
28:28He's a positive guy.
28:30That's one thing we can learn from him.
28:34No matter what we go through...
28:37...we'll always be positive.
28:40I'm sorry for asking.
28:42Azmi, how many siblings do you have?
28:44I'm supposed to have three.
28:46But, my brother passed away.
28:48He's 21 years old.
28:50I'm the only one left.
28:52Are you the only one who can't see him?
28:54I'm the only one who can't see him.
28:56My parents are okay.
28:58Your family has helped you a lot.
29:00My cats are all normal.
29:02That's stressful.
29:05How did you know he's normal?
29:08I saw him running around.
29:11How did you know he was running around?
29:14You're so mean!
29:16Azmi is trying to push me.
29:18You're so mean!
29:20Can you not give me a shoulder to cry on?
29:22That's one thing.
29:24Don't influence him.
29:29I want to know...
29:32...if Azmi comes for an interview...
29:35...or for a shoot...
29:37...how do you choose your clothes?
29:39For example, you have to wear white today.
29:42Sometimes, there are people...
29:44...who don't wear white.
29:47That used to be his biggest challenge.
29:50We had an interview on Radio Astro.
29:56We got clothes from Hot FM.
30:01He came to Radio Astro wearing Hot FM's clothes.
30:05But it wasn't me.
30:07It was our drummer.
30:09What kind of drummer is he?
30:11That was one of his challenges.
30:13We had to take a photo...
30:15...and send it to him.
30:17We had to send it via WhatsApp.
30:19Now, we have an app.
30:21It's called Be My Eyes.
30:26We take a photo and he'll tell us...
30:28...what colour the clothes are.
30:30What's written on the clothes.
30:32It's easier now.
30:34How do you arrange the clothes?
30:36Do you just hang them?
30:39No, I just mix them up.
30:41I'll tell him what kind of clothes to wear.
30:46Usually, I'll call my manager in 2-3 months.
30:50I'll ask them to look at the clothes...
30:52...that I can't wear anymore.
30:57That's great.
30:59When you have someone you trust...
31:01...and someone who can help you...
31:04...and we're talking about friendship.
31:07You had a close friend...
31:10...before you became a professional singer.
31:14One of your friends left you.
31:19How did you accept...
31:22...Fendi's rejection?
31:27Fendi didn't want to leave...
31:30...but she was rejected.
31:34We didn't hate Fendi...
31:36...but she had her own thoughts.
31:39She's good at composing songs.
31:42She's willing to spend her own money...
31:45...to release her own single.
31:48She likes to explore...
31:50...how the music business works.
31:55She spends her own money...
31:57...to make a PC.
31:59She pays the reporters.
32:04She likes to explore that.
32:06We split up in a good way.
32:08But Fendi did it in a good way.
32:13Azmi mentioned that...
32:15...she has a WhatsApp group...
32:17...where she chats with people.
32:19Is it hard to type a message?
32:23There's a way.
32:25I'm nervous.
32:27Or you can use a voice note.
32:29No, I like to use text.
32:31There's a way.
32:33You can use a phone now.
32:35I use an iPhone.
32:37If you go to Settings...
32:39...Accessibility...
32:41...there's a voiceover.
32:43If you turn on the voiceover...
32:45...you can read the text on the screen.
32:48You can read the text.
32:50You can read the text on WhatsApp.
32:53If you want to send something...
32:55...you can send it to me.
32:57I can book a Grab.
32:59You can read it.
33:02Wait a minute.
33:05You can book an e-hand.
33:07I can drive.
33:10My wife works at a library.
33:12She wants to see the library noisy.
33:14This is the time for the library to be noisy.
33:17The library is always quiet.
33:19So, it's noisy.
33:21Let's go out to eat.
33:23Bring your friends.
33:25Let's go first.
33:28It's easier to bring your friends.
33:33It hurts.
33:35It's easier to go back to the village.
33:38One way.
33:40You don't have to order an e-hand.
33:45I don't have to do anything after working at the radio station.
33:48I can go to shows.
33:50That's scary.
33:53Your wife works at a library.
33:56That's right.
33:58Her son works at a library.
34:00That's right.
34:02Is it hard for you to take care of your son?
34:06For example, do you have to bathe him?
34:10It's hard at first because we're not used to it.
34:14In the first month, my sister taught me how to do it.
34:20But, praise be to God, I got a wife who likes to learn.
34:25Even before she gave birth, she'd look at Facebook...
34:29...and share her experiences.
34:31She likes to read things like that.
34:35I learn a lot from my wife.
34:37How to bathe him, how to dress him.
34:41My wife can do everything.
34:43The only thing I can't do is feed him.
34:45My son is 9 years old now.
34:48It's not 9 years, Mi.
34:50It's 9 months.
34:53You said it was 9 months, right?
34:55You said it was 9 months. I heard it.
34:57What are you talking about?
34:59I'm not used to this.
35:03I heard it was 9 months.
35:05So, he eats a lot of porridge.
35:08I don't know how to feed him.
35:10When we want to feed him, he'll go over there.
35:13When we want to feed him, he'll grab the spoon.
35:19We can't avoid things like that.
35:21He'll spill the porridge.
35:24Usually, when my wife feeds him...
35:26...she'll take off his clothes.
35:30His body is covered in porridge.
35:33But, I can't do that.
35:35When I touch the porridge, he'll be like, what is this?
35:40But, it's okay.
35:42Kids grow up fast.
35:44You just have to enjoy it.
35:46That's right, Mi.
35:47But, you're happy when you have a child, right?
35:50He can't wait to go home.
35:52That's right.
35:54I can't wait to go home.
35:56I don't want my wife to be mad at me.
35:57If I go out, I don't want my wife to be mad at me.
36:00That's a different problem.
36:02You're afraid of your wife when you have a child.
36:05He's like that because he has a problem.
36:08That's right.
36:09I have a lot of problems.
36:13But, that's how it is.
36:15I've been waiting for a long time.
36:17Now, you're able to have a child.
36:19It's not a blessing.
36:20That's right.
36:21Now, you're able to have a new child.
36:23How does it feel to have a child?
36:27That's right.
36:28When it comes to my first child, I've learnt a lot...
36:32...from that experience.
36:37No matter how we plan, if Allah says it's not a blessing...
36:41...it won't be a blessing.
36:43At that time, the doctor suggested that we do a check-up...
36:47...because it's been 10 years.
36:4910 years?
36:5110 years.
36:52Don't lie.
36:53I mean, it's been 10 years.
36:55It's been 10 years.
36:57So, we do a check-up.
36:58We don't have to have a normal birth.
37:00Normal births are risky.
37:03My wife was 36 years old at that time.
37:08But, we were confident.
37:10The doctor said that normal births would be safe.
37:12But, it wasn't.
37:13Because Allah said it's not a blessing.
37:15So, we learnt a lot.
37:17You were able to have a baby for 3 days?
37:19Yes, 3 days.
37:20You were able to have a baby for 3 days.
37:21Yes, that's right.
37:22After that, you were replaced by Khalisha Issyrah.
37:25Yes, Khalisha Issyrah.
37:26At that time, were you still jumping?
37:29No, I wasn't.
37:30Were you still sad?
37:32No, I wasn't.
37:33I was just walking normally.
37:35Why did you have to jump?
37:36I was happy.
37:37Oh, you were happy.
37:38It's good that it happened.
37:42You're pressuring me again.
37:44You're pressuring me a lot.
37:47She's her mother's wife.
37:48Oh, I see.
37:49So, she was happy.
37:50I was happy.
37:51I didn't have to jump.
37:52I thought I was going to fall.
37:57Oh, I got hit.
37:59So, you were called a father.
38:01Yes.
38:02Now, you're back.
38:04You still want to remember your child.
38:05Yes.
38:06Did you...
38:08You...
38:09Okay, let's put this aside.
38:12Let's talk about your child for a while.
38:13I've always thought that...
38:15...if a person started from a band...
38:17...and then, he had a solo career.
38:19Like you said, you prioritised Khalif Baskar.
38:22You prioritised Khalif Baskar in everything.
38:23But, I never thought that...
38:25...your career as a solo artist...
38:27...would have no conflicts.
38:29There were conflicts in the beginning.
38:31When I got my solo job, at that time...
38:35...Astro did Gema Gegar Vaganza.
38:37That's right.
38:38With Adib, right?
38:39I was in the first season.
38:41So, Astro said that...
38:44...he wanted to be a solo artist...
38:46...if he could.
38:47Because we were a band.
38:48We played music.
38:49So, he couldn't provide...
38:51...the music equipment.
38:53So, he wanted to be a solo artist.
38:54So, if Azmi wanted to join, he could.
38:56But, if he wanted to be in a band, he couldn't.
38:58So, I thought that...
39:00...Khalif Baskar wouldn't be there.
39:01At that time, the job was a bit slow.
39:04So, what's wrong if I joined?
39:06I brought the name of Khalif Baskar.
39:07So, in the beginning, it was a bit difficult.
39:10Did he ask for other people's blessings?
39:12He didn't ask for many blessings.
39:14But, it was like...
39:17At that time, there was no Azmi Sa'ad's Instagram.
39:19So, I opened Azmi Sa'ad's Instagram.
39:21So, they understood.
39:23They still understand themselves.
39:25But, we still joined the band.
39:27Luckily, we got this and that.
39:29He was like a peddler.
39:31So, I voiced it.
39:32I said that I joined the band...
39:34...for the good of our group.
39:36Eventually, they understood.
39:38So, every week, when I joined the band, they came to support.
39:42After that, if I had a solo job, they didn't have any problem.
39:46They understood.
39:48It's because Azmi was a bit bad.
39:50He got a solo job.
39:51But, he gave it to Samarata as well.
39:53That's great.
39:55If that's the case, I want to be a peddler as well.
39:58I want to play the tambourine as well.
39:59I want to back you up.
40:01Usually, my friends don't talk much about it.
40:05Because, if there's anything about Kalibaskar,...
40:08...I'll give them 100% of my approval.
40:10Okay.
40:11For example, when we make YouTube content,...
40:14...usually, I'm the one who edits it.
40:17So, it's my job as well.
40:19I see.
40:20So, my approval is still 100% for Kalibaskar.
40:23Okay.
40:24So, he can't deny it.
40:27Amir,...
40:28...forgive me again.
40:31No, I know a lot about it.
40:33Because, Azmi is a great person.
40:35I like it when people ask me about things that I don't see.
40:39Because, not everyone understands it.
40:41That's right.
40:42We share information.
40:43For example, Azmi and his wife.
40:45I don't see it.
40:46What's it like at home?
40:48Is it a guest room?
40:50Or, how do you cook?
40:53At school,...
40:55...we're a private school.
40:56So, you know each other there.
40:57Yes, we know each other there.
40:58So, he's my senior for a year.
41:00Okay.
41:01Senior for a year.
41:02At school, we're taught a lot of things.
41:06Like, washing clothes, cleaning the toilet.
41:09We learn everything.
41:11So, when we're done with school,...
41:13...we learn a lot of things.
41:15My wife's mother taught me how to cook.
41:17Like, how to cut onions, etc.
41:19So, she taught me everything.
41:21I'm not good at cooking.
41:25I'm not good at it and I'm not interested.
41:26I like to explore a lot of things.
41:28For example, I bought a sofa at IKEA that day.
41:32I installed it myself.
41:34Didn't you scratch it?
41:35No.
41:37I scratched the holes.
41:40Then, I installed it.
41:41I took it out.
41:42It's full of holes.
41:43We saw the tutorial.
41:47It's a manual.
41:48If you install it yourself,...
41:50...it's not good.
41:53You have to do it yourself.
41:55You have to install it yourself.
41:57You have to install it yourself.
41:59It's okay.
42:00We can open it and install it again.
42:02I bought a pair of shoes.
42:03I installed it myself.
42:04I like it.
42:05If it's a computer, I have to format it.
42:08I learn how to format it on YouTube.
42:10I have to read it.
42:12I ask my friend to read it.
42:14I like to explore.
42:16If it's a pipe, I have to install it.
42:20If it's a rubber, I have to buy it.
42:22I have to DIY it.
42:23I have to sell it.
42:24When I get home, I install it myself.
42:26Seriously?
42:27I like that.
42:28That's amazing.
42:30He's better than a bad person.
42:33That's right.
42:34He can do everything himself.
42:35He's passionate.
42:36If he can't do it, he'll find a way to do it.
42:40He feels lazy to do it himself.
42:44That's right.
42:45That's one of my strengths.
42:48Your wife is from Tengganu, right?
42:50Tengganu.
42:51How do you celebrate Eid?
42:53We go back to Tengganu for Eid.
42:55Then we go back to Johor for Eid.
42:57Then we go back to Johor for Eid.
42:59Then we go back to Johor.
43:00Then we go back to Johor.
43:01Then we go back to Tengganu.
43:02Then we go back to Jamil.
43:04I mean...
43:06Eid is a holiday.
43:08How do you go back to Tengganu and Johor?
43:11How do we go back?
43:13We usually take a flight.
43:15We used to take a bus.
43:18We took a bus halfway.
43:19Then we changed buses.
43:21That's right.
43:22What are you doing?
43:24What are you doing?
43:27We had to find our bags.
43:30We had to change buses.
43:31It was so hard.
43:33For example, if we wanted to get a drink at R&R,
43:34we had to change buses.
43:35That's right.
43:36It's easier to take a flight.
43:38It's easier to get a drink.
43:40It's easier to get a drink.
43:42It's easier to get a drink.
43:43It's easier to get a drink.
43:44I'm starting to get jealous.
43:46Amir, help me.
43:47When we go up the stairs, he holds my hand.
43:49It's like he's going to hit me.
43:52He's holding his wife's hand.
43:54Okay.
43:55What are you doing?
43:56Okay.
43:57I'm social. I'm okay.
44:00That's one of the advantages of being with me.
44:04Praise be to God.
44:05Amir, let's go to the last part.
44:07The last part?
44:08Is this the last part?
44:09I came from far away.
44:11Please make it longer.
44:12Make it longer.
44:13A little longer.
44:14It's been an hour.
44:15An hour?
44:16It's been an hour.
44:17I can't feel it.
44:18I can't feel it.
44:21This is Azmi's next solo project.
44:24I'm not satisfied.
44:25It feels like it's been a long time.
44:27It feels like it's been a long time.
44:28It's been a long time.
44:29It's been a long time.
44:30It's been a long time.
44:31It's okay.
44:32We still have a lot to ask.
44:33What was the question again?
44:34A solo project.
44:35Yes.
44:36It's the latest one.
44:37What's the title, Amir?
44:38Majnun.
44:39Majnun.
44:41Majnun was inspired by...
44:43I didn't write it.
44:44Natasha wrote it.
44:46Natasha is a composer who wrote a song.
44:50It's called Cinta Lelaki Teragung.
44:52It's by Dayana Faizah.
44:54It's one of her songs.
44:56It's Cinta Lelaki Teragung.
44:58Yes.
44:59She wrote the song.
45:01The song was inspired by Laila Majnun's story.
45:04Laila Majnun's story...
45:06The hero's name is Khois.
45:10He loves Laila too much.
45:12But Laila's father doesn't approve of their relationship.
45:15Khois loves Laila too much...
45:17...until he goes crazy.
45:20People call Khois Majnun.
45:22Majnun means crazy in Arabic.
45:24Crazy.
45:25He loves Laila too much.
45:28So, it was inspired by that story.
45:30If we read Laila Majnun's story...
45:32...we'll learn a lot about love.
45:34That's right.
45:35That's how the song was created.
45:37How was it, Amir?
45:38Azmi Saad and Khalid Basker...
45:41How did you decide on the song?
45:44Is this song suitable for Khalid Basker?
45:46It's just a song.
45:50It's really easy.
45:51To be honest, we weren't ready to be an artist.
45:55We weren't ready.
45:57We never studied how to succeed in the music industry.
46:03After a few years, we had the chance to learn.
46:07Little by little.
46:09We didn't work with big record companies.
46:15We only signed songs.
46:17We didn't sign the management.
46:19When we signed the song, it was done.
46:22We brought our own members.
46:24We looked for our own jobs.
46:26We weren't good at exploring...
46:30...the genre for Khalid Basker.
46:35So, we just did what the composer told us to do.
46:39Who helps Khalid Basker with his work?
46:43We have friends.
46:47They're as good as me.
46:50But they can't see us.
46:51So, they bring us to the shows.
46:53We call our friends who can see us to transport us.
46:58What about Khalid Basker and Azmi Saad's work?
47:03We understand that they're just playing around.
47:06But there must be a strategy.
47:10We have to think about it.
47:12That's one of the challenges.
47:14Like I said, I can set up a sofa.
47:20I was confident that I could live like a normal person.
47:25But when I got into the music industry...
47:29...because I focus on music.
47:32I wanted to do something new.
47:34But there was a limit.
47:36I couldn't do certain things because I couldn't see.
47:39It's the same when it comes to recording.
47:42I studied software recording.
47:44I couldn't do certain things because I had to use my eyes.
47:47It almost made me give up.
47:52So, I did a lot of things.
47:54I joined a Malawian competition.
47:58Daniel asked me to be a killer.
48:01He asked me to be a killer.
48:05You're talking about Lawak Superstar?
48:07Yes.
48:08There was a week when he asked me to be a killer.
48:12He asked me to sit in front of Dato' Awi.
48:14I looked at Dato' Awi.
48:16I looked at Dato' Awi.
48:18He asked me to do that.
48:21I said, how can I do that?
48:23I've never seen that before.
48:26He asked me to be a killer.
48:28So, how can I do that?
48:30I didn't know how to do that.
48:33It was hard.
48:34I didn't know what to do when I was on the stage.
48:37I said, this is not my field.
48:40When the competition was over, I won.
48:44I got to renovate my house.
48:46I moved to a new house.
48:48But at the same time, I thought, I can't do this.
48:51This is not my field.
48:53For example, when we joined Menyanyi...
48:56...there was a time when we wanted to join Gegar Baganza.
49:00They did a lot of activities.
49:02Because Menyanyi is not just an audio show.
49:05It's a visual show.
49:06So, we wanted to set up our performance.
49:10Even though we have a manager who can set it up.
49:13For example, you have to do this song.
49:15We have to do it without knowing...
49:17...how it will turn out.
49:20We're not satisfied.
49:23Or when we're doing a single, we have to do a music video.
49:27They'll tell us to walk like this.
49:30Even though we can't enjoy the video.
49:33It's not fun.
49:35Things like that.
49:37When I tried a lot of things...
49:40...I found a place where I wanted to be 100%.
49:45It's in the field of songwriting.
49:47We don't need any movement to write a song.
49:52So, when I found it, I wanted to focus on that.
49:57So, you can listen to it on all digital platforms?
50:00Yes, all digital platforms.
50:02Even on YouTube?
50:03Yes, but we're in the process of making a music video.
50:06If you don't want to do it, I can do it.
50:08I'm an actor.
50:11I said I can't enjoy it.
50:13So, you're miming.
50:16But I also look at the payment.
50:18Payment?
50:19Yes, payment.
50:20I'm a bit stingy.
50:24What do you think of Azmi's prayers?
50:28Do you pray every day to see him?
50:32Never.
50:33I've never thought of seeing him.
50:35I just enjoy my life.
50:39I have good friends.
50:42I have Dinar and Faliq.
50:46One more hour.
50:48If I saw them, they wouldn't have invited me.
50:53So, I never thought of seeing them.
50:55Maybe my prayers are just to make things easier.
50:58What I see now is...
51:01...instead of seeing it as a flaw...
51:04...he sees it as an advantage.
51:10I have friends who say life is hard.
51:14But I feel that if you enjoy your life, you won't find it hard.
51:19I heard about Dato' M. Nasir's interview.
51:22The interviewer asked, did you ever find it hard to eat Maggi?
51:28I did, but I didn't think it was hard.
51:30I didn't think it was hard.
51:32That's my life. I just enjoy it.
51:34So, that's how it is.
51:35When we're grateful, we'll feel happy.
51:40That's right.
51:41We can learn a lot from Azmi.
51:44Even though he's always laughing.
51:46He's got something.
51:48But, Azmi is always on top.
51:51That's right.
51:52You have a lot of songs in your head.
51:56Is there a song that you're like, why isn't this my song?
52:00This song is good.
52:02I'm interested in one song.
52:04It's Henry's song.
52:06It's called Sufi Rashid.
52:08What's the title?
52:10It's Sufi Rashid.
52:11I forgot the title.
52:13It's okay.
52:20The melody is good.
52:23Aku Tahu?
52:24Aku Tahu!
52:25You have to get to the lyrics.
52:29That's one of the songs I like.
52:31It's a good song.
52:32When we're busking or performing, we bring a lot of songs like that.
52:38Rock ballads.
52:40It suits my soul.
52:45Sufi Rashid.
52:47It's still Henry's song.
52:50It's Henry's song.
52:51Of course.
52:53If it's Khalif Baskar's song, how many points would you give?
52:57Two or three?
52:58Three.
52:59Three Khalif Baskar's favorite songs.
53:01If people ask for it, you'll say, yes, I can sing this song.
53:04I like the song Buta the most.
53:08Ciptaan Faizal Tahir.
53:09I think Abang Faizal made the song...
53:12...to bring life to the blind.
53:16He's not just advising the blind.
53:19He's also advising the normal people who listen to the song.
53:23So, I think Buta is the best.
53:25But it's not that high.
53:27But I heard Buta.
53:29Really?
53:31He's nervous.
53:33It's okay. He can't see me.
53:37Hanyana Mamu.
53:40But it's too high.
53:43Who told you to sing like that?
53:45You're the one who sings like that.
53:47Can we go down a bit?
53:49It's just a recording.
53:50We'll go down during the live show.
53:52I forgot.
53:54Among other songs, there's a song called Inspirasi.
53:58It was released last year.
54:02Inspirasi is my own creation.
54:05I like it because I'm a songwriter.
54:10Do you still have a demand to sing Roman Cinta?
54:15That's a must.
54:17It's a must.
54:20Okay, I understand.
54:21Mi, for the last time.
54:24This is God's will.
54:26Miracles happen.
54:27I can see that...
54:29...apart from your family and friends...
54:32...who do you want to meet?
54:36Who do you want to meet?
54:38I want to see his face.
54:40How does he look?
54:44Apart from your family, of course.
54:46Of course.
54:47Who do you want to meet?
54:50To be honest, I've never thought about it.
54:53But if I had to think about it...
54:55...it would be Adri.
54:57He's the one who promoted Kali Basker.
55:00Secondly, I think Faizal Tahir.
55:07I'm not praising him...
55:11...but I've worked with him.
55:13I like the way he builds his music.
55:18He maintains his genre.
55:21He doesn't follow trends.
55:23He used to have his own record label.
55:27I like what he does.
55:31I also like his personality.
55:34I've worked with him.
55:37He's one of the people I admire.
55:39Who else?
55:41Do you want Lofa?
55:43He's about to answer this.
55:45There are two people I think are important.
55:47Dina and Falik.
55:50She's a cheater.
55:52She's a cheater.
55:56He said I'm a cheater.
56:00He took my heart.
56:02He just let it go.
56:04He didn't just let it go, he threw it away.
56:06Then he stepped on it.
56:10That's enough.
56:16May God make your life easier.
56:18May God make your life easier.
56:20May God grant you success.
56:22Majnun, don't forget to listen to...
56:24...all the digital platforms.
56:26Azmi Saad.
56:28I don't know if he's okay.
56:30God willing, we'll have him at the end of the year.
56:33This is my own song.
56:35We'll have him at the end of the year.
56:37We'll have him at the end of the year.
56:39Call him Azmi.
56:41That's all for Borat Celebrity Weekly.
