3R is back in town! The 3Rs are Respect, Relax and Response, a female TV magazine shown in national TV, TV3 and pay satellite TV channel, Astro Ria. 3R addresses women issues. I hear you now ask, "what does it have to do with you then?" Actually, none. But I attended the press conference for the new season, after being invited by Kartini (Tini), one of the hosts for the show.

It's a small world. The other hosts, Celina and Rafidah were past acquaintances. Celina was my ex-classmate in 6th Form, while Rafidah, was in the same Prefects' Board as me back in 1994/1995. And I know Tini from the Chevening programme. A full reunion, I must say?
Honestly, I do tune in to see the show. Some of the issues were interesting. 3R provides the avenue to look at things in a different way. It breaks down women issues into pieces and put them under magnifying glasses, making them easier for the males to understand the females.
Even though Tini invited us under the pre-text for a get-together, and ahem, free dinner, Noris who came with me and I have enjoyed the night and the company of the few interesting people whom we sat together at the same table. We spoke to Lee Mee Fung, Executive Producer for the movies "Goodbye Boys", "Bernafas Dalam Lumpur" and the upcoming "Kami". Nothing beats listening to the "uncut" version of the films than from the producer herself. We also met up with one of the founders of 3R, Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir. She was a friendly and humble lady, who obliged to take a picture with us, even though she was busy with other people.
Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir and daughterI have also recorded a preview of 3R's new season. It looked fresher, more vibrant and colourful. You'll find in the Youtube, an obvious case of me trying to pirate this preview. First hint: People walking around and laughing in the background. P/S: Permissions already sought, so don't bother reporting this.
