PETALING JAYA: Politicians aren’t generally known for their musical ability. But a new indie pop album by Anwar Ibrahim and Elizabeth Wong seeks to change all that.
Produced by a crew led by Kelana Jaya MP Loh Gwo Burne, “Teratak” (translated as “house”) is a family-based four-track album with songs on love and peace.
“The songs are, you know, a thanks to everybody who has supported us, and forgave us for some of the mistakes we made,” Loh said, adding that the album was a form of gratitude to all Malaysians.
“It’s not supposed to be a political thing. It’s about family and love and a common language that we can give to everyone. It’s about not giving up and continuing to work hard.”
Teratak’s titular track is sung by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, and “A Capella” group known as The Wayfarers. According to Loh, the group consisted of members of PAS-Kuala Selangor MP Dzulkefly Ahmad’s family.
