Yep, it was part of a competition. 5 teams across southeast asia were selected to shoot a pilot episode and only 1 team gets the funding for a full series.

Babi! was probably a bit too controversial for the channel to take the risk 😅.

But if anyone out there wants to fund the rest of the show, let me know 😄.

I'm 90% sure it's Hishamuddin.
Hishamuddin's father is Hussein Onn who had a big fallout with Mahathir during 87 UMNO crisis. In this BABI! universe, Hussein Onn did not retire in 81 from health issue (heart disease) but continue being PM until Mahathir toppled him in 87 UMNO crisis. He probably had a heart attack because of it and fell into a coma. This is why Hamdan hated Mahathir.

In the show, Hamdan want his father to be buried next to his mother in Johor. Hussein Onn is born in Johor.
In the show, Hamdan left Najib a very personal voice message calling him "bodoh" because in reality, Hamdan/Hishamuddin and Najib are cousins.

yeah I watched it, too clinical and the script kinda pretentious (that chess scene yikes!) although the production is good. I just don't find it believable. Maybe too hollywood whereas Babi! is more raw.

Anyway for anyone interested, Daulat is free to watch https://www.iflix.com/title/movie/278732

Daulat is a bit slow to start well except when they started to show the bedroom scene not thats not bad at all. But its Malaysian right so dont expect more then a teaser .

The concept is there ... trying to relay a very well diverse politics ... when political parties aint mean a thing no more and let alone being loyal to one.

But a leader thats control by woman ... I might think Malaysia needs at least another 10 years for that to happen.
