...Spinning Gasing?a gasing is a Malay spinning top?follows the fortunes of 23-year-old DJ-wannabe Harry Lee (Craig Fong) when he returns to Malaysia after many years abroad. Dreaming of recording contracts, Harry pulls together a band that just happens to include a representative of each of the country's three major races, plus a Eurasian lead singer and a flamboyantly gay keyboardist, played by Edwin R. Sumun. The band's bassist, Yati, is a young Malay woman torn between her love for Harry and his Western ways and her conservative, highly religious family. Yati, played with...

I thought, ‘Great! I can bring in those CDs that I’ve been already trying to get out there.’” She was a DJ for “The Coffeehouse,” then its music director and now runs every show...
