Text: About This Film

Malaysia is one of the most modern countries in the Islamic world. In the ultra modern city of Kuala Lumpar, Islam and modernism have been harmoniously brought together.

Women and men occupy the same positions equally in all walks of life. In fact, in the Kuala Lumpar rush hour there appear to be more women than men going to work. Despite the semblance of modernity, polygamy is one of the biggest problems. The film reveals the stark contrasts between Western lifestyles and Islamic values.
