Satu filem yang sangat bermakna untuk Kita Rakyat Malaysia membuka mata dan hati . yang merosakkan semua keindahan itu adalah sifat tamak, rasis, kebencian, pembunuhan kejam oleh orang2 yang gelap hatinya. yang tak bersalah menjadi mangsa akibat perbuatan jahat org2 yg gelap hati ini. Masa saya accident motor kena langgar dengan kereta sampai terseret tepi jalan raya, yang tolong saya waktu itu adalah uncle india, uncle cina dan kakak melayu. Saya sangat bersyukur jadi rakyat Malaysia sebab inilah perpaduan kita tanpa mengira warna kulit dan latarbelakang kehidupan kita. Hentikan racism sebab ianya hanya akan merugikan negara Malaysia tercinta sahaja. Arwah mak saya menyaksikan sendiri semasa peristiwa berdarah 13 Mei 1969 yang berlaku di Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur. Yang menimbulkan kekacauan dan pembunuhan kejam beramai2 itu adalah dari orang2 politik yang gila kuasa tanpa memikirkan kesannya terhadap rakyat Malaya pada waktu itu. Arwah mak saya juga ada cerita yang anak cina di selamatkan dan di lindungi oleh orang melayu, anak melayu pun di selamatkan serta dilindungi oleh orang cina. ini bukti yang perpaduan telah lama wujud dibumi Malaysia cuma org2 politik yang hati kotor dan serakah sahaja yang suka memainkan isu perkauman dan api kebencian. jadi janganlah terpedaya dengan kata2 ahli politik yang suka mainkan isu perkauman ini. sebab kita adalah RAKYAT MALAYSIA yang sangat unik dan negara luar memandang tinggi dengan perpaduan yang kita ada sekarang!
Setuju sangat!

Hi, This is Astro AEC, a Chinese news TV channel. We are recently planning on a news topic to discuss about this film, and the message it brings up to the public. Just wondering if we can invite you for a 5-mins zoom interview to share your feelings and thoughts with our audience after watching this film? If you are interested, please do send an email to primetalknews@gmail.com, thanks.
Setuju!
Alangkah baiknya kalau ada lebih ramai yang berfikiran terbuka seperti tuan. 👍👍 Masa depan Malaysia akan lebih cerah.
We need more movies like this to show to the people in Malaysia, just how fragile and vital it is for us all to live in harmony with one another. We must not allow politics and extremism be it using religion, race, social class nor economy to break us apart and create the animosity that seems to grow and fester each passing day.
we need more Malaysian films on KZhead, period!
Just use Kelantan settings

This movie deserves an international award of some kind. Despite a limited budget movie, the production, the acting, the storyline, the tempo and excitement of the plot is right up there. Kudos to all the talented people behind this film.
The best award is seeing people enjoy it. ❤
Suka dgn cerita Malaysia yg berkualiti sebegini. Mak penuh dgn sifat keibuan, baik hati, penyanyang dan ingin melindungi anak2nya. Ayah sorang yg tegas, selalu pentingkan keselamatan keluarga. Anak pulak di didik dgn kasih syg, hormat satu sama lain. Tp ending macam tergantung sikit. Kalau ending mereka teruskan kehidupan sampai dewasa. Pasti mantap. Bangsa dan agama apa pun kita, Kita tetap satu Malaysia. Kita saling memerlukan. ❤

Ini film thailan bukan malaysia, tapi krena shooting di malaysia jdinya toleransi
I think the best parts about the movie is not the storyline itself, but the background and world settings shown the movie, which reflects many aspects in the Malaysia society and also some accurate assumption made. Referendum: 79% of the votes cast being in favor of the the Segregation Act. The results reflect two things: The race relations is extremely bad, the society is full of hatred towards each other and they believe that the segregation will bring justice to them. Interestingly enough, the outcome is not something expected by the voters who voted AGREE to pass the Segregation Act, and they are the one who complains everything. The father who voted AGREE was shocked when they are moved to their new house, and from the dialogue, it seems like they used to live in urban area. The mother reminded him that he and all other 79% voters are the causer of their new lives. Similarly, the Indian man is also the one who claims that everything is unfair meanwhile his partner adapts to everything. P.S. The Malay House is not that bad, many Malays live in Malay House for generations. Ironically, Steven asked is Seng never seen a Malay House before, which also implies that the ignorance of each others' culture is one of the reasons causing the bad racial relations in the movie. Politicians and Businessmen: Eddie and Hamid are friends since primary school. Eddie has no hatred towards other races, but like he said, he was just saying anything that the people likes to hear. When the hatred exists in the society, the politicians like to grow and further spread the hatred to gain political benefits, which is very common in Malaysia since 1957. It is also the same to Hamid, he might also gain benefits by spreading the hatred in Malay Society. It reminds me of the referendum of Brexit, the politicians use the hatred of British people towards the immigrants to make them AGREE to Brexit. It is very dangerous when you starts to think that everything unfair and bad happened in your life are all caused by other races. You are very easy to be manipulated. In the end, Hamid and Eddie are the businessmen who exploits their own races, and gain benefits from it. I believe that there is an Indian version of Hamid and Eddie in that movie. The Chinese sells furniture to Malays, the Malays sell to Indians, but in the end, all the three businessmen gain wealth and power, while the people get nothing. Sabah, Sarawak and Ringgits: Sabah and Sarawak quit Malaysia in the movie. I guess there are also referendum held by them? To stay or to quit Malaysia that impose segregation, and the people chose to leave. Sabah and Sarawak has provided various natural resources which plays important role in the development of Malaysia. But, in my OWN OPINION, Sabah and Sarawak should get more political representations and infrastructure upgrade. The politicians in peninsular always spread the hatred among races and religions, but is they any politicians in peninsular stand out and speak for the rights and fairness of Sabah and Sarawak? They are the ones who provides so much economy effects and getting so less. It is also very sad when I see Ringgits become worthless in the movie and people using USD to trade. If the religions and races are still the main tone in Malaysia's politics and become the main thing we concern when we vote, then NO ONE will come to invest in Malaysia. We should always learn from Sabah and Sarawak, their mindsets and values towards races and religions. Law and Violence: Steven and his uncle get killed easily by the militia. It shows that the militia and the violence prevails the law and everything in the movie. This is what that happens when the democratic system has been demolished by none other than the voters who have the rights to vote and decide the future in the country under the democratic system. The democracy protects the law, and the law becomes the foundation of the system. Democracy is hard to gain, but can be easily slip away, and when it happens, MILITIA or anyone with guns and comrades become the LAW. P.S. Is the MILITIA a portrayal of the Malayan Communists? Self-Reflection: Didn't you see what they write on the Internet? Oh, so you didn't write? It is different! I am justice. These few dialogues perfectly summed up the mindsets of chauvinisms. Another term that Seng mentioned is "motherland". There are many reasons causing this kind of self-identity. The self-identity is built based on many aspects in life. The self-identity has many aspects as well, the nationality, race, religion and so on, but when these self-identity turns into chauvinisms, it turns the nation and democratic system into an endless helix of identity politics, which is still prevails above everything nowadays. This type of chauvinism exists in more than one races in Malaysia. Like the name of the movie, PENDATANG. You think that others are PENDATANG, and they also think of themselves as PENDATANG. If you think they are supposed to be called as PENDATANG, then do not complain when they are not patriotic enough, because you are the one who chase them away. Similarly, when you identified yourself as PENDATANG, which is even more pathetic, then the only thing you can do and should do is become a PENGHIJRAH. DISCLAIMERS: I might mention some details in the movie wrongly, my bad. I am not spreading any hatred, just expressing some opinions and feelings towards the movie. Please do not arrest me ya. UWU. If my comment hurts anyone's feelings or makes anyone uncomfortable, just reply below, I will delete my comment ASAP.
Nah, it's actually ok and don't worry about it. I actually agree with most of your analysis for this movie. Sure I have some different opinions but I definitely respect yours. Plus, you already write such long and good analysis. I hope this comment stays since it will be a shame to see it deleted.
Terima kasih atas analisis yang sangat komprehensif ni, okay je sebenarnya komen ni, kalau sesiapa terasa, tandanya ada masalah dengan pemikiran tu. Patut dapat lagi banyak like komen ni sebenarnya sebab kadang-kadang orang tak nampak intipati filem ni dan apa yang filem ni cuba sampaikan.
That really good review. Hoping to see sequel about this Worldbuilding of Pendatang film
very well said
good comment!
The first Malaysian film produced through crowdfunding, "PENDATANG," bypassed the scrutiny and cuts of the Malaysian Film Censorship Board, preserving the core content and values the film aims to convey. After watching, the impact lingered, and tears welled up multiple times. The outstanding performances of the actors made me feel like I was part of the story. The focus is not on who is an Pendatang (outsider), but on who protected whom in the face of danger-making the next generation firmly believe that skin color and ethnicity should not be reasons for division and mutual slander. Instead, they should be reasons for greater unity. Since May 13, 1969, to the present, 54 years have passed, yet the three numbers, 513, are still exploited by extremists promoting racialism. The unity of the three major ethnic groups has deteriorated to the absurd situation where anything that is not deemed halal, disrespectful to the feelings of Muslims, or involves wearing shorts is criticized. For Malays-Apa khabar For Chinese-你好嗎 For Indians-Namastē For Iban people-Nama brita nuan For Kadazandusun people-Nunu abal nu Like a key, it unlocks the knots in our hearts. May this film, serve to reunite the diverse Malaysian nation once again.

Thank you!
This movie portrays the Chinese as militant gangsters that can be provocative as the little Malay girl like a toyol stealing milk and later befriending the Chinese family and the two Indians as fishing with spears totally disconnected from the Chinese gangsterism scenario except for the Keling guy seemed involved in trafficking with the Chinese gangsters.
Why the bloody finas dont approve this movie in cinema.

很久沒看過這麼棒的電影，我很驚訝竟然在KZhead上。 其實我一直不明白為何至今在馬來西亞的種族依然劃分明顯，身為台灣人，其實曾經也經歷過原住民與漢人之間的隔閡。 但不知從何時開始重視人權，重視人人平等的風氣讓我們漸漸也變成了一個國家的共同群體。 所以當中國不斷以血統種族威脅，恐嚇，綁架我們時，我們其實是無感且排斥的， 這部電影真的好棒，不管是什麼種族，我們其實都只是這世界上的人類罷了！最重要的是互相理解，互相尊重，去成就好的族群，而不是種族。
The opening scenes inside the Malay house was one of the best visual aesthetic I've seen for a long time. It's mesmerising and beautiful!
❤
Mungkin boleh dinobat dlm Malaysia Book of Records sebagai filem tempatan pertama yg tak ditayang kat mana-mana panggung (local atau oversea), tapi dimuat secara percuma atas KZhead utk tatapan semua. Kos pembikinan filem tak dpt balik at least ada recognition pun ok...😊

Una excelente película,si no la hubieran subió a KZhead , creo nunca lo hubiera visto, es increíble
Mantap cerita ni! Harapnya ada sambungan dan prekuel😁 Natijah saya: Filem ni sedikit sebanyak mencerminkan apakah yang akan terjadi sekiranya iklim politik di Malaysia semakin buruk sehingga perlunya akta yang mengasingkan setiap kaum di Malaysia. Apa yang mengejutkan saya, lebih 70% setuju dengan akta yang mengarut ni. 1. Betapa kita telah normalisasikan rasisme kasual (casual racism) dalam kalangan masyarakat kita, antara contoh yang kita boleh lihat dalam filem ni adalah semasa ayahnya mengugut anak nak hantar ke belah pengasingan kaum India, sebuah kiasan bahawa pada tanggapannya, komuniti India ni menakutkan. Ada terdengar juga bahawa sesetengah ibubapa berbangsa Cina sering menakut-nakutkan anaknya dengan 'apuneneh'. Saya sendiri pun dibesarkan dalam keluarga dan komuniti Melayu, kerapkali juga dengar orang gunakan kaum India dan Cina sebagai karung tinju (punching bag), umpamanya kalau jumpa saja teks atau perbualan yang tak jelas, mesti akan ada dengar orang sebut "cakap macam K*ling" atau apabila keadaan kucar-kacir, ada yang akan sebut "macam K*ling karam". 2. Manusia tak lahir dengan sifat rasisme dalam diri, boleh lihat macam mana Bobby dan Raifa bermain bersama-sama walaupun Bobby sendiri ditegah oleh bapanya supaya tidak berbuat demikian. 3. Ahli politik yang sentiasa memainkan sentimen kaum dan agama sebenarnya ramai yang munafik, main isu sensitif semata-mata nak raih undi sedangkan di balik tabir semua gelak-gelak je sesama sendiri, yang berpecah belahnya rakyat. Contohnya dalam filem ni kita boleh tengok yang berpangkat tinggi-tinggi elok saja menjalankan urusan perniagaan sesama sendiri dan seterusnya menjadi lebih kaya, sedangkan rakyat biasa sengsara akibat pertelingkahan yang berakar dari ahli politik ni. 4. Ramai yang tidak berpandangan jauh dan tidak dapat melihat kesan daripada perbuatan sendiri, sampailah benda buruk jadi, sepertimana si Ayah menyangkakan hidup akan menjadi lebih baik selepas kaum diasingkan mengikut tempat masing-masing tetapi tidak suka pula apabila ditempatkan di rumah kampung dan juga keadaan menjadi lebih rumit untuk menguruskan hal kesihatan anaknya yang ada asma. (p/s: Sebenarnya kita boleh teliti yang majoriti kaum Cina Malaysia ni boleh saja cakap Melayu, cuma orang kita kadang-kadang suka nilai kefasihan hanya berdasarkan ada pelat atau tidak, tak perlu ada telo Melayu kalau nak bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu. Tapi tu lah, orang kita macam suka viralkan yang tak reti cakap Bahasa Melayu lepas tu pukul rata semua Cina tak reti Melayu sedangkan segelintir je kaum Cina Malaysia tak reti cakap Melayu langsung) Tahniah kepada kru yang terlibat dalam pembikinan filem ini! Jarang kita dapat tonton filem distopia Malaysia, nak sangat tengok sambungan yang memaparkan bagaimana keadaan di bahagian kaum Melayu yang ambilkira faktor-faktor seperti: 1. Sesetengah Melayu yang terlalu taksub dengan teori konspirasi sehinggakan sentiasa menganggap kaum lain ingin mengambil alih Malaysia sedangkan kaum Melayu masih majoriti di Malaysia dan peratusan kaum bukan Melayu semakin berkurang saban tahun. 2. Ada juga Melayu yang ikut saja buta-buta ahli politik atas faktor sama kaum dan agama, dan takut untuk persoalkan tindakan pemimpin, sampailah mereka sedar keadaan tak menjadi lebih baik setelah setiap kaum dipisahkan. Semua kaum di Malaysia ni memerlukan sesama sendiri untuk membangunkan negara kita yang tercinta ni, jadi tak perlu lihat siapa pendatang dan siapa yang bukan, kita semua dah bergenerasi di Malaysia ni
Analisis yang tepat! Sekiranya difahami ramai mungkin ada harapan bagi masa depan negara yang berbilang kaum dan agama. Best komen setakat ini!! Bravo!!
saya suka analisa dan hujah tuan!
Terima kasih untuk tulisan ini!

Wajib ada Pendatang 2. Come on people let's help Kuman Pictures to produce more quality movies.

watching it from an outsider's perspective, I love how this movie is uncensored and uncut to shield anybody's feelings and criticism. I live in the US but Malaysia is one of the places I've wanted to visit and would love to know more history of the place and this movie helped start that. Now i'll have to research some history and learn more about the culture
Come visit! ❤🇲🇾
In USA, you have face the same shxt from kkk. Nothing more than 'trump' card
Moral of the story, don’t rely too much on the news or certain social media that incite racial or religious hatred. Remember your neighbour, friends, colleagues, your teachers, your doctors of different races in the real life. Each of us wouldn’t have a heart to inflict any pain towards each other.
😢😢
You are right. We may be of different faiths and have different skin colour, but we’re all someone’s son or daughter. We’re all Malaysians. Let’s all accept each other, respect each other, support each other. Unity in diversity.
the ending has such a strong message there many should ponder upon. It's an endless cycle of racism. One person protecting the other while another despise.
Yes in the end everyone looses. No winner insight
Except for the power mad people.. sigh.. even in reality, as in fiction@@Kty4321
Yes the ending msg is very strong where the Malay child quickly stood in front of the Chinese child to protect her now (as she protected her earlier fr being shot). Children are Colour Blind, but adults teach them otherwise.
I'm sorry I didn't understand the ending that much. Did they met the Indian guy(meaning they wrongly enter Indian territory) or Malay guy(meaning they enter it right but it just a cycle of hatred as you say)?
❤😢
It’s a solid 9,5/10 from me. This movie truly moved me to my very core. I have nothing but the most respect and adoration for everyone who has made this movie possible, kalian keren! Film ini cocok sekali untuk diputar di bioskop, I would watch it in a heartbeat.
Thank you! ❤

All of the 3 main races in Malaysia in some ways are all pendatang from other regions around Southeast Asia and rest of Asia most notably from Sumatra, Southern India and Southern China where most of these groups trace their ancestry from. The only REAL Pribumis on this soil are the Orang Aslis in Semenanjung and the native Dayak Iban, Bidayuh Orang Ulu, Kadazan-Dusun, Murut and etc in Sabah and Sarawak and all these groups have ALSO suffered marginalization and discrimination in one way or another all because they are Non Muslims by the so-called Ketuanan fake Pribumi hegemony. One of these examples is the Orang Aslis in which they would ONLY be offered development and opportunities only if they convert to Islam. Don't forget that the ancestors of these so-called Bumiputeras came and essentially built an empire on a land that doesn't belong to them.

As a pendatang myself (bangsa lain lain), I could never envision this to really happen in Malaysia. We live peacefully in seperate cultures, but as we have seen around the world, peace should never be taken for granted. Well done for reminding us to be on guard, social media for example, does have a tendency to make a traffic accident into a potential racial clash.

Semoga ada lagi Pendatang 2 yang menceritakan dunia distopia ini dari sudut orang Melayu dan India. Lalu kemudiannya cerita itu digabungkan setelah mereka menyedari risiko undian segregasi kaum tidak akan membawa ke mana2. Pada waktu itu barulah terbukti moto Unity and Glory dalam ertikata yang sebenar. Syabas buat team Kuman atas dedikasi idea untuk membuat filem ini. Anyway, kalau segregasi ini dibuat di Sabah dan Sarawak, tak tahulah berapa banyak penempatan kaum hendak dibuat. Suku2 di Sabah saja sudah lebih 50 haha.

The best film by Malaysian ever. This is a great lesson to all when we are being separated apart from each other. Great lessons learned where the bullies are everywhere even from your own race. This is why people from other countries are envious of our multicultural yet colourful races living together as one nation. Don't ever let this story affect you, it should be a great opener of all people's eyes and ears, not only for Malaysia, but for the whole world to learn from.
❤
I applaud the film makers for taking the route of "crowd funding", by-passing Malaysian Censorship Board in order to stay true to the storyline they wish to portray. Also, appreciate its decision to allow re-use under Creative Common Attribution license, so that it could be shared quickly & widely. I hope this film & Kuman Pictures team continue to garner momentum & receive international acclaim. The script, nuances, attention to detail to portray Malaysian idiosyncrasies are commendable. In my humble opinion, this film should be made mandatory viewing for all Malaysian school children (eg. as part of Civics curriculum). Regardless of race, religion or ethnicity, there is a decent human spirit within all of us, and we need to be reminded of the importance of "Muhibah" & kindness. I look forward to more amazing films from Kuman Pictures & you have deservingly earned my KZhead subscription. Terima Kasih!!! P/S: Love new phrase learned from film "Take Kena, Tak Cinta".

This is good quality film making that is not hindered by many obstacles. Given that it was crowd funded & the film premiered on KZhead, it will be a different story if the film producers were to seek funding using traditional pathways. That is because the film's subject matter will be "frowned upon" by the authorities. Even if the film were to be approved and screened, I can imagine Lembaga Penapisan Filem ( Film Censorship Board ) having a field day snipping here and there. This is the kind of nanny state the government has become; "censored, blocked, prohibited etc, so as not to provoke racial tensions or to keep the harmony between races, etc". Good film making with introspective qualities such as “Pendatang” needs to be made, so that, in a post-mortem, society as a whole can reflect on it's current state. It's been a long while since local films have made an attempt to tell a story about the Malaysian societal fabric. Remember all the Yasmin Ahmad films back in the day? Many of the story elements within the film has relevance to Malaysian history; 513 ( May 13th ) and the racially segregated areas that harks back to the New Villages established during the Communist Insurgency; kinda like the Hunger Games setting with the segregated Districts. The film also posits a future where the Federation of Malaysia is no more; with Sabah & Sarawak leaving. Within the film's world, it will be the rich, greedy & corrupt individuals that will take advantage of the situation to profit, to secure their personal interests. While those who were already on the extreme end ( like the Defense Force soldiers ), will exploit the situation just to harm & kill people not aligned with the law. The ones in the middle will suffer because they just want to live in peace with one another. The entire movie leaves me with the feeling that the future looks bleak for a Malaysia literally segregated according to race. The reality is, we have it very good; due to what our forefathers have built Pre-Merdeka and Post-Merdeka. We just take it for granted, assuming everything is all fine. But there will always be bad extremist actors in society who claim "they are the victim" or "its us against them" in order to say "we are better than them"; and as a result, the supporters who agree will rally around these extremists and their voices will just grow louder. To stop that, Malaysians need to go out and get to know one another. Leave the comfort zone of the insular community bubble and mix with the other races. Only as Malaysians, together, will our society progress to greater heights.
Underrated comment🎉
well said!
good comment!
Excellent movie. Everything done right. Please don't let anyone stop you from making such impactful movies in the future. I am excited for what the future holds with this movie production company. Best of luck with everything! I hope this movie wins awards and gain awareness internationally.
Thank you! The best award is knowing people can watch and enjoy it. ❤
Storyline was good.. everything was well delivered..like this moviee..sedih je tgk situasi camni padahal bole je live in harmony life together 🥺🫶🏻
This movie deserve an oscar. As an audience, I can feel the horror living under military power. Racism issue + draconian military rule wrapped with good storyline, acting, cinematic ❤ Bravo!
Thank you!
Oscar for movie God must be crazy
Absolutely...patut ditayangkan ke seluruh Dunia...sy bangga dgn team produksi filem nie...ada martabat tersendiri...patut DPT jadiah NOBEL......
Racissm issue and draconian military power so bold. Absolutely clear😢 tahniah😊
Wah we finally get a dystopian Malaysian movie and I am loving it. The story, production, cinematography is really good. Also, a very good reminder to never let racism win.
Thank you!
recommended this film,it tells the realities that make Malaysia broken now, namely corruption and strong politics until the Malaysian currency falls.Then the mind and ideology of the nation is collapsing due to political poison in many ways.Malay for Malay,Chinese for Chinese and Indian for Indian. So this movie teaches us the value of all nations and the sacrifices and goodness of all nations. This movie also shows harmony if corrupt politics is not in life. Maybe all of we must stop undi in pilihan Raya,sebab politik semua tk boleh pakai sekarang.
Thank you!
I would say this is one of the best Malaysian movie I have watched in the longest time. Kudos Kuman!
❤
Best Malaysian film of 2023. An eye and mind opening experience. I love the father's character arc and his ending was gutwrenching. And truck driver auntie too. I cried when she asked Raifa's name. The message is simple, segregation makes it simple for the rulers to control us. It's not about malay vs chinese, or propaganda who's more racist. It's the rulers who desperately trying to keep us apart. I don't get how the racist and naysayers thinks this film is an anti-constitution and anti-malay propaganda. btw, i would LOVE to see part 2 from the POVs of the Malays and Indians, and they too suffered under their oppressive rulers. Congratulations, KUMAN pictures.
Thank you!
Agreed! Can't wait for the sequel! Keep up the good work Kuman Pictures!
I don't see why this film need a sequel. It's already fulfilled the morals behind the narrative and job well done. Need of sequel if you look into it from entertainment views.
Tidak realistic dan seolah olah bukan di negara ini..siapa sebenarnya pendatang?
@@user-kk2ib3uk2sni movie satira lah aku melayu pon boleh paham mesej nk di sampaikan movie ni kepada setiap bangsa..
Apa jadi sekiranya Malaysia ada Segregation Act, di mana semua kaum tak boleh bersama? Kalau mereka bersama, mereka mampus. Filem ni sebenarnya sedih, sebab ia merupakan reflection masalah sosial di Malaysia, bezanya kita tak ada Segregation Act. Ia juga mengingatkan kita bahaya dan kesedihan rakyat yang melalui tragedi parah seperti May 13. Pengajaran filem ini mudah. 1. Jangan jadi racist. Sebab bila dunia ada darurat atau coup d'état, kita tak boleh memilih siapa yang akan selamatkan kita. 2. Jangan undi ahli politik yang hanya mementingkan satu kaum. Nanti negara akan rosak. 3. Rasisme takkan berubah apabila setiap individu sudah ada perspective yang buruk tentang kaum lain. Ini problem besar bila anda tidak rasis. Tengok scene terakhir untuk faham. Overall, saya suka mesej dan emosi beberapa pelakon di sini. Ada yg tak pandai berlakon. Mamat antagonist tu macam tak scary sangat. Budak asthma tu pandai berlakon. Scene mamat antagonist di dalam rumah tu terlalu lama. Watak utama mati macam gitu je ke. Dia kan key character. At least, bagi kematian dia dramatic sikit. Movie ni tak terlalu sinematik, except for the end scene where they show the empty house. Thumbs up, KUMAN film team! 💜🇲🇾
terima kasih!
💯💯💯
Dengan bajet yang terhad dan terkumpul melalui crowdfunding, saya rasa director has done a great job 👏
I'm not sure if anyone wrote this in any comment but please do open something up for us to support your team effort in bringing us such amazing film. I myself may not be able to help much but I do think a lot of true Malaysian appreciate this and need more of this.
Thank you! If you want to support us this is the link ❤ ko-fi.com/kumanpictures
Hats off to the entire PENDATANG Movie Team and a BiG welcome for a truly Malaysian 🇲🇾 movie . A must watch movie for all Malaysian to strengthen our Unity in our country . ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

513 1969, They switched the Malay family to a Chinese family, the refuge to a malay girl. In the may 13th incident, there were Malay families hiding Chinese refugees.
Bukan masa tu je, Melayu juga tolong sorok cina dalam rumah. Arwah datuk saya juga ambil 4-5 org anak2 cina sebagai anak angkat dan sorok mereka dirumah. Ini semasa penjajahan era Jepun. Meraka ialah bapa dan ibu saudara saya dan semua dah lama meninggal (sakit tua)
This is an absolutely great movie! It just shows, at the end, nobody wins and everybody loses if we carry on like this. Kudos to the team and everyone who contributed.
thank you!
Best Malaysian flim in these 10 years, praise the team for using Cantonese!!! You deserve Oscar nomination!!
😮❤
Love Cantonese...it's a friendlier tone
my first 10/10 local movie, highly recommended. High quality and incredible acting. Hope you guys can produce more movies on different topics that are not commonly allowed in Malaysia. It really shows that we Malaysia do have good movies and scripts but are restricted and limited by so many redtapes. Say no to racism.
Wow thanks ❤
You can tell it's a real Malaysian factory when the workers come back to continue working the day after the boss gets killed
Spot on hahhaahaa
ah yes! that's the spirit bro
Hahahaha yg approve cuti dah meninggal
When on curfew area, no place to go, no work, no money, no foods. This how the curfew work. Government already no more, that's why break to races curfew area, borneo already pull out, ringgit value drop become not much value, inflation going up.
because it is a chinese boss - profits above all else.
Dari zaman Jurassic Parak... sampailah sekarang - Kaum A kata Kaum B nak hancurkan dia. Kaum A dan Kaum B kata Kaum C tak boleh percaya. Kaum A, Kaum B, Kaum C tak suka Kaum D, E, F... - kalau kita orang Malaysia ni tak reti nak percaya dan hormat satu sama lain, asyik nak fikir siapa nak kenakan dia, siapa nak hancurkan dia, maksudnya memang kita ni semua tak pernah dan tak akan maju. Last-last jadi macam filem ni suatu hari nanti. Masa tu nanti, memang dah terlambat dah laa... KITA ORANG MALAYSIA, KITA SAMA-SAMA DUDUK MALAYSIA, KITA SAMA-SAMALAH MAJUKAN MALAYSIA, KITA SEMUA SAYANG MALAYSIA... TAK ADA 'PENDATANG' - KECUALI PENDATANG HARAM / PATI... #Malaysia #Negaraku / #Negaraku #Malaysia
PATI pun mangsa eksploitasi.

What an emotional movie, can’t hold my tears, the movie speak out the message to not let dirty politics to divide the people, I hope it will be awarded by the Malaysian government
our award is knowing people are watching it :)
Watched when it first came out. It touched me deeply & hope all Malaysians will watch & appreciate the message. We are so much stronger together than against each other. I applauded Kuman for going the crowdfunding route to ensure no censorship & interference.
It’s been a while since the late Yasmin Ahmad’s movie… This movie is so impressive, I love it! So many subtle message n deep meaning. That ending is powerful, simply to show the never ending cycle of racism. Thank you for putting it as free movie for all. Definitely an award winning movie! A MUST watch!
Quite different but most of Yasmin's films also shot in Perak :)
Amazing for all stuff and director for malaysia film like this, thanks you kuman picture for this film.
This film should NEVER be banned. Its message is important to all Malaysians. We are one nation with a diverse population. It's our multicultural quality that makes us stand out in the world. DON'T play into the hands of politicians from all races who are only out to enrich themselves while playing one race up against another.

All of the 3 main races in Malaysia in some ways are all pendatang from other regions around Southeast Asia and rest of Asia most notably from Sumatra, Southern India and Southern China where most of these groups trace their ancestry from. The only REAL Pribumis on this soil are the Orang Aslis in Semenanjung and the native Dayak Iban, Bidayuh Orang Ulu, Kadazan-Dusun, Murut and etc in Sabah and Sarawak and all these groups have ALSO suffered marginalization and discrimination in one way or another all because they are Non Muslims by the so-called Ketuanan fake Pribumi hegemony. One of these examples is the Orang Aslis in which they would ONLY be offered development and opportunities only if they convert to Islam. Don't forget that the ancestors of these so-called Bumiputeras came and essentially built an empire on a land that doesn't belong to them
@@cjshow-zp6nh Semua orang Pendatang even Orang Asli.
Tell it to the govt -- the useless greedy politicians hungry for power and position, who keep kicking up racial/religious tension, the academics, the lot who write and vet history books. On the matter of the 'Pendatang', the history of the region, and beyond, that is rich with so much development goes back 5000yrs+++ but our history books is biased to only serve a certain, more recent 'narrative'. Artefacts, ancient ruins, discoveries, etc and so much history from that 5000yrs+++ is either covered up, distorted, deleted, destroyed, to feed that 'narrative'. Blame it on politics and power. This movie refers to a 927 incident. Similarly, our own 513 was a political and power struggle - but narrated and presented as racial-relation tensions, to veil that fact😡😡😡🤬
It’s a real shame this movie is not shown in the big screen instead. Thoroughly enjoyed it 🎉
Gather with friends and see on a big screen :)
Mr. Khairi Anwar. You have done nothing wrong. There are religious issues in my country, Japan, but I believe that no one should be deprived of freedom of religion and speech. Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country, so I think religious oppression is particularly unacceptable. I support your thoughts and actions. From Japan.
It is such a shame this family is bullied by their own people. And the evil of all things is greed for money, the strong bullying the weak. Although racism is poison to humanity, the story tells us that kindness among people still exists. I hope we do not have to witness this day in the future. We are all made by the same Creator, hence, every one should be treated equally; men, women and children. This movie is really an eye opener. It shows one does not need a blockbuster budget to make a good movie, just a wonderful script and a good director. Thank you.
We should be sad coz it's happening in reality, just the movie exaggerated it Take a look when you can see both Cina can even scam, fight with each other in public, their gangsters only dare to bully the weak Cina who failed to give 'protection fee' but they will never lay a hand on other ethnics, but unless you're rich...the Cina will all kowtow to you even when you're infamous All these reflections are what inspired the film if we tend to ignore racism issues and keep staying in our comfort zone, staying with the same ethnic circle (semangat assabiah)
The whole semenanjung will be full of lawlessness if we don't stop racial politics
Saya orang indonesia sangat respect dengan filmnya yang bagus banget saya suka masih banyak rasisme terjadi bukan dinegara malaysia saja tapi indonesia sendiri juga sama adanya rasisme mudah2an dengan ada film ini sebagai contoh bahwa rasisme itu akan hanya mengundang perpecahan antar negara dan suku kita seharusnya menjaga warga negara asing ataupun warga negara sendiri akan membuat kedamaian untuk negara itu sendiri.intinya saling rukun ❤🇮🇩
@@marisatresia9873 luckily your country indonesia is better than malaysia cuz your post 1998 government will do what it takes to stop religious violence. I hope malaysia is free from extremists lunatics like indonesia
If the politikus continue to play the racist card, this might happens in very near future in our beloved motherland. Thanks to the team for producing such a haunting but strangely beautiful film where love and humanity prevails in difficult time.
Ur motherland ??😂😂 Ur motherland at china,im not racist i speak fact,maybe u r 4 generation of ur community and forget about ur community history why u still here
Excellent movie. Great storyline. Meaningful messages. So much to reflect upon. We can see the repercussion of not voting wisely. A different government does not mean a better one, if old traditions are not eliminated. Bribery and greed still rule over everything else, no matter how much talk there is about unity and harmony. Family values play an important role no matter what race you come from, as we are all humans. Congrats Kuman, and bravo to all actors and actresses. Beautiful acting❤
❤🇲🇾
Thank you! ❤
Just watched this movie after so many friend of mine recommended. Things will happen as what been shown inside the movie if the situation / condition of environment change as per what the movie conveyed. But I truly believe it won’t be happen in Malaysia nowadays. I am proud to be a Malaysian, a country with multi races and multi cultures where you can’t find it anywhere else out of this beautiful country. Lastly, great job and well done to the production and producer team, you guys made a great movie with meaningful and show it to the whole world. Keep it up and best wishes👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Terus terang akak cakap...ini memang filem terbaik produksi tempatan tahun ni. Isi cerita relevan, lakonan baik...Syabas penerbit Pendatang...kita perlukan filem macam ni di Malaysia...semoga dipermudahkan segala urusan. Amin.
wah terima kasih!
Kita semua manusia yg sama saja. Sepatutnya hentikan racism. Take care of ourselves, the ppl we love and help others if we have the capability. By the way, i actually hope the ending is malay, chinese and indian live happily together as family 😊
Tahniah..filem yg mantap..dh lama aku tunggu malaysia buat filem yg another level mcm ni.. kalau dpt anugerah cerita mcm ni lagi patut..tahniah skali lagi..rating 10/10
Terima kasih! 🎉
Terharu tengok mereka menolong dan menjaga "panda" walaupun pada permulaannya ada pertelingkahan antara mereka sama ada nak serahkan "panda" kepada pihak berkuasa. Boleh memahami pendirian ayah juga, sebab nak melindungi keluarganya. Saya rasa movie ni lebih menarik daripada "Abang Adik". Cantik pemandangan. Malaysia ni memang cantik, baik pemandangan ataupun rakyat berbilang kaum yg sentiasa hidup harmoni. Ada siapa² tahu scene ini kat mana? 看到大家一起幫助和照顧小女孩，十分感人。雖然一開始大家就是否該將她交給執法人員而起了爭執，但可以理解爸爸反對留下女孩的立場，實際上是為了保護家人。 我覺得這部電影比富都青年更好看。 取景地很美。馬來西亞是個美麗的國度，不僅風景優美，各族人民和睦共處也是一道美麗的風景線。有人知道取景地在哪裡嗎？ (原本以為看電影的都是華人，結果發現這裡好多各族人民，也用馬來文留個言)
❤ Dekat2 Gopeng
It's actually a patriotic film and should be seen with an open mind. This film will surely be and should be on the next Oscar's nomination list. I like the part where Sabah and Sarawak left Malaysia. Every Malaysian always talk about the country's potential and what it should and could have been. This movie is a testament to the talent of the Malaysian people. Congratulations and well done!
Filem baik. Nampak ahli politik yang asingkan kaum untuk mendapatkan keuntungan diri. Ni bukan filem sejarah masa jajahan British, ni perumpamaan zaman sekarang. Harap setiap warga Malaysia boleh tengok filem ini, lagikan free di KZhead. Saya sayang Malaysia, harap terbaik bagi ia.
Proud to be Malaysian! Even in Türkiye , introduce myself as Malaysian! Not to say Malaysian Chinese ! Well done! Say no to racism
Yay!😍
Pride is sin. Best kill that thought love. Be happy and pleased not proud. Pride leads to self importance. It usurps equalities you seek with others. I have Native, cree in me. Many other inherited cultures too. I am human. Not my skin or my ethnicity. Like you. 🙋🇨🇦🐈🙏💙💜💙Be human not a label placed on your heart. Saying you are one thing not another is in itself racist thinking don't you see? Why label your soul? It starts in a man's heart thinking he is one or another. It ought not be so. You are human but not apart from other cultures. Be the change you want to see. One people in God's Kingdom.
Im from Philipines in the sounthern part of mindanao. My province use to be called Compostela Valley but it was recently change to Davao de Oro. EVERYTHING, as in every nook and cranny of this Malay House greatly resembles and reminds me of the old houses of the pioneers here in our province, This is AMAZING❤️! Im gonna watch this movie. Very interesting❤
Yay! 🇵🇭🇲🇾
Very good movie. Well done to Malaysians. This movie is a reminder to stay strong together and not let racism divide the country. This goes as a reminder to every country as well.

Filem yg bagus..Racis @ tidak ini tetap filem malaysia yg berbilang Kaum
"Children Are Colour Blind" , meaningful to see children protecting one another in the beginning and at the end. PENDATANG applied to both sides. A great movie by the team and much for Malaysians to learn and not be misled by corrupted and fanatics MPs. Hope there is a part 2 that brings Hope esp for children and young people. Malaysia deserves better!! The 222 MPs and all Aduns in each state should view Pendatang and have a good reflection on themselves. "Remember the tax Payers in Malaysia paid for your power and comfort!! Multiple pensions....
Thank you!
Tax payers also vote them in out of fear. Blame yourselves too
Saya cadangkan kan filem ini ditayangkan di Parlimen..must watched by all the MP .. compulsory.
spot on... Setuju all the 222 parliamentarians must watched!! @@drazahwahid
amazing job guys!! We need more local movies like these to instill the realization that we have been relying on each race even to the tiniest details. It should be a privlidge to be born and raise in a multiracial country. We get to eat pure indian kari, shouts our yee sang, eat ketupt rendang then go sabah sawak eat those ulat pokok.

Extraordinary film which is made even more poignant by the circumstances behind its production. These issues can't be ignored in Malaysia or any other society, and Pendatang shows exactly why. Systemic distrust, unaddressed racial tensions, and hyper-identity politics can be dangerously inflamed by seemingly small events like a match in a tinderbox. Aside from the salience of the film's themes, it's a beautiful yet sad experience. Thank you for making this film available for free, and hopefully such things won't be so hard to produce and screen in the future.
Thank you! 😍
Saya rasa perlu crowdfund citer ni. Buat sequel ke, web series ke. Lakonan ok, pacing pun ok. But the story must continue. Kudos guys! Good effort. I watched till the end
They can make parts like bridgerton. Back Stories of other characters etc. maybe the situation on the other side.
The ending is pretty weird. Also, WTH the father left the truck?
No ending. Left hanging@@leealex24
#Pendatang Pendatang is a breath of fresh air from the typical 'Malaysian style' movies. We need more of these sort of movies which could provoke thought. Highly recommended, & I can now say "Malaysia movies pun as good as our neighbours." Hope to see more thought provoking movies like these.
thank you!
This movie director, actors all those contributed to this movie have reach the world standard in film making. Congratulations to all who made this possible.
😮❤
This movie is really touching. I hope more Malaysians will watch it. Those of you who have watched, please spread this movie to your friends and families. The movie could be our potential future if extremists are allowed to separate us further. The racist remarks and actions are already here today. Please don't let it get worse. We need to protect our unity at all cost. Kuman Pictures, you did such a great job with telling the story. Kudos to you all. Please produce more meaningful movies like this to bring all Malaysian together.

To the wonderful and amazing team behind this film, you guys did an amazing job. Not once I considered any of your technicals to be a bother because of how much you've invested in the story building. It's an astounding work, and a work that I consider, in my own opinion, one of the all time Malaysian Films. Continue your efforts. This is a film that truly Malaysia needs.
Thank you! ❤🇲🇾
The best movie ever over Malaysia. Should let more people know and watch this movie.
❤🇲🇾
Extremely emotional, that's the only way I can describe this film. The fact that a simple thing such as the colour of our skin, or the language that we speak, can be a divider seems so remedial. I love this country, I love all my Malaysians. Thank you for making this, and may we leave racial politics in the dust, where it belongs. Kita semua anak Malaysia.
Terima kasih!

Hi, This is Astro AEC, a Chinese news TV channel. We are recently planning on a news topic to discuss about this film, and the message it brings up to the public. Just wondering if we can invite you for a 5-mins zoom interview to share your feelings and thoughts with our audience after watching this film? If you are interested, please do send an email to primetalknews@gmail.com, thanks.
sangat syok😢smpai baca komen pun blh buat terharu ❤
To me, at least personally, the story actually reflecting(during those dark period of Msia) a malay family trying very hard to protect a chinese girl, but, anyway it mirrored our very unique Msian peace loving people Kudos to the production team, well done n great job

It is nerve wrecking and left profound message for us Malaysian. Hopefully it will reach many more of our kind. If we only look beyond our skin color and start looking at each other FIRST as human.

Excellent movie and well done to directors, producers, coworkers, and actors. The message is clear: we Malaysian tak kira bangsa need to be tolerant and united. That makes Malaysia beautiful. If we voted for segregation, consequences may become like the movie. Let's vote for united as Malaysian, vote for inclusion.
thank you!
This movie was frickin GENIUS🙌🙌🙌 As malaysian, so proud of our local movie making talent. Really hope there's sequel🙌 that tell us other area part from malay and indians
Thank you! 😍
We need a sequel from the little girl perspective or the indian couple!!! This is a great movie, reminds me of Parasite and the Hunger Games somehow!! Who would have thought to come out with a dystopian movie like this!! Great movie indeed!
yes, need pendatang 2 and 3 sequel, from malay and indian zone perspective.
Who would have thought to come up with a dystopian movie like this: From the imagination of Lim Boon Siang, the screenwriter, and with the gung-ho attitude of Amir Muhammad of Kuman Pictures of having it made and the vision of the director Ken Kin Ng. I salute the people managing the finance/budget too. 😊
aku rase cite ni mcm nak bagitau jgn asyik nak main bangsa dalam ape2 yg jadi .. contoh kalau eksiden kete, "tu mesti cine mabok" "melayu tu mesti matpet" "india tu baru dapat bonus"

Mendalam betul filem ni. Satu gabungan 3 kaum. Menyelamatkan diri dr penjajah. Sy x nampak filem ni menimbulkna rasa kebencian atau perkauman. Mungkin di awal cerita, penonton xkan faham apa yg pengarah cuba sampaikan. Tp hakikatnya adalah perpaduan, kekeluargaan....

A decent movie with good overall acting by the entire cast. Some of the casual racism in Malaysia is subtly shown; those who know, understand. I just wish that instead of furniture, the factory produced something more essential to life. It's hard to suspend belief that people are willing to kill each other for furnitures. There is room to expand the story further, perhaps by showing the perspective of Malays and Indians living in segregation in the same timeline and how they help the girls to survive.
The casual racism is what makes it very relatable to Malaysians, we all know what it looks or sounds like. I agree with the furniture, I felt food or medicine would've been more valuable. Perhaps if I have to backwards rationalise that I'd imagine maybe many families were forced to leave their original homes suddenly without their furniture - also probably using furniture to seludup humans makes it more convenient to progress the story. As usual Malaysian movies are always great at setting up a story but still have this strange issue of being unable to manoeuvre over the tension arc in a believable manner. Immersion was gone for me whenever someone is killed but the reactions were barely fearful, remorseful or even angry. I know I'd be damn well scared for my life seeing someone shot dead. I was wondering about the Indians the whole time, but I don't think they'd have enough screen time (or budget) to show everyone else and flesh them out fairly. Like the short scene of the Indians, it felt very token-ish. To do that it'd have to be a dystopian series like Last of Us or Walking Dead. I think they ended where they needed to, we don't need to see how the girls survive as that was the point of the story - uncertainty, fear, segregation, oppression, and questioning humanity.
I think, the furniture business owner in the film is to represent the rich business people with no moral compass exploiting the situation so as to protect their own personal interests.

Actually it's the best movie i watch this year. Surprisingly the acting, colors and the set are top notch. The main reasons it able to draw us into the movie is because it touches on our fears, which might turn true to some extend, if we are careless.
