Wear This Revolution!
HAKIM
You can’t miss him with his ZZ Top/Asian hippie look. Speaking to the man is like talking to someone from another planet-a true, free spirit who will never be owned. A few years back, he directed Romantik ISA, a tell-all documentary about the ISA that got him more than a few fan calls from the government.
What was the turning point when you knew you had to get involved in activism?
I didn’t want to see this nation being fooled by this kind of government!
If your tee could change the world, what would it say?
“This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never wear t-shirts anyway.”
What’s your personal view on fashion trends and the people who follow them?
These people watch too much “999” series on TV3 while being a loyal subscriber to Malay tabloids such as URTV and Mangga…
What do you dislike the most about Malaysian society?
Malaysians are too serious that they think the name Allah is exclusive for only one religion.
What would you like to see people on the streets wearing more of?
Man wearing Speedos while having teh tarik on a Sunday evening.
If you had to design a national uniform to be worn by all citizens of Malaysia, what would it look like?
Certainly no baju melayu with the tall songkok, which resembles much of the Ku Klux Klan.
What was the 1st tee you bought with your own money?
A “Hulk Hogan vs. Rowdy Piper” t-shirt.
Who would be the ideal person to model your clothes if you had a fashion show?
The avant-garde poet Salleh Ben Joned (aka the very 1st Angkasawan Negara) with a gun around his belt.
What’s the most ridiculous fashion trend you’ve witnessed? And which politician does it remind you of?
Most politicians are oversized, obese or bloated, so anything they wear (even some high-end branded clothes) just makes me want to puke.
