P. Ramlee Dan Bola Sepak I | #KaranganBolaSepak by Seorang Abdul
Although P. Ramlee is a thief in 'Ali Baba Bujang Lapok', he's very conscious of job regulations (for example, Saturdays are half-days and Sundays off) and he keeps referring to Persatuan Penyamun (The Thieves' Society), whose rules must be obeyed. The bandits can be said to represent the way powerful businesses operate in modern life; they have fingers in many pies, including the Law (one of the thieves has a British style judge's outfit).
According to the book 'Filem-filem P.Ramlee', Persatuan Penyamun was a veiled reference by P.Ramlee to the way the unions in Shaw Brothers were operating. He thought they weren't doing things in the best interests of the workers but merely grandstanding for benefit of a few people. But even without this autobiographical knowledge, the idea hold its own. - Amir Muhammad’s 120 Malay Movies
After watching Ali Baba Bujang Lapok and reading Amir Muhammad’s take on the movie. I couldn’t but help myself to draw similarities to every industry in Malaysia and especially in Malaysian football. Professionally, the footballers have been disrespected severely over the years by less kind management. Delaying their salaries. Until the players had to take a lot of action.
Employees of all status be it a professional footballer to an admin to the janitor. Their rights be must respected by the employers. Everyone is working together to ensure the best for the organisation. The film Ali Baba Bujang Lapok is a kind reminder of how workers must be respected and taken care of.
