2. Imperial Malaysian Night 2010
Dear all,
That time of the year is here once again!
Imperial College Union Malaysian Society presents:
Malaysian Night 2010: Born to be Vile
At its heart this is a human story about love and hate, about revenge, about Malaysian culture, and about how life is all about different points of view.
Meet Bruce Weng, Malaysia's biggest timber tycoon. He's rich, he's handsome, he's TIME Magazine's Man of the Year (and also FHM's Sexiest Man of 2010). Then one night his house is blown up and his life comes crashing down. He's convinced this is the work of his former business partners: Donald Tiram, Malaysia's biggest oyster sauce manufacturer, Datin Hillary Kelentong, and Bill Backgates, CEO of the MicroHard Corporation. But who's the good guy in this story? Throw in an obsessive police detective, some bumbling sidekicks, and the stage is set for an epic story of good and evil.
Are people born evil? Or do they grow evil? Come find out in BORN TO BE VILE.
The event details are as follows:
Date: 26th & 27th February 2010
Day: Friday & Saturday
Time: 7:00pm - 10:30pm
Venue: Great Hall, Imperial College London, South Kensington
Ticket Price: £10 (traditional Malaysian kuih served after the show)
