wit on politics, sex and gender. Definitely<br />
not for the faint-hearted!<br />

own wit and clever observations of social<br />
norms and of course, Malaysian politics.<br />
Impressive performance one after another,<br />
it’s no wonder he has earned himself the<br />

Drugs, guns, love, war, freedom, racism<br />
and free market capitalism. The theft of<br />
Penang, birth of Adelaide, and the rise<br />
of the British Empire.<br />
In 1786, Francis Light claimed the island<br />
of Penang as property of the British.<br />
Fifty years later his son, William, laid<br />
out the city of Adelaide. In the midst of<br />
all this, William’s mother evaporated.<br />
Light is the phenomenal story of<br />
two generations of adventures and<br />
how the irreversible impact of their<br />
actions, continue to resonate today.<br />
One family, crushed between East and<br />
West, struggles for identity as history is<br />
slowly colonised. Within their lifetime,<br />
humanity is divided into light and dark,<br />
us and them.<br />
