If you’re looking for a feel-good, heartwrenching Malaysian movie, look no further than Suatu Ketika/Once Upon A Time. It’s based in 1952 Malaysia and my husband and I loved it. The movie had gorgeous cinematography, excellent casting, such loving attention to detail, heart-wrenching plot twists – all the things!
I was born in the 1980s in Singapore and my parents were born in the 1950s, so it was wonderful to watch a reimagining of 1952 Malaysia. Those barefoot football scenes in the rain were utter nostalgic perfection. I’m looking out for more movies by Malaysian director Prakash Murugiah!

SO. MUCH. GOOD. STUFF!!
Once Upon A Crescent, a Muslim Kids Podcast by Mrs Hashimi. I have listened to many different audiobooks and podcasts over the years, and this is my all-time favourite.
There’s nothing like the blissful combination of listening to Qur’anic and Prophetic gems while watching my little one drift off to sleep.
