Malaysian Sean Bean Was A Likeable Person - Shah Rezza

1980s actor Datuk Shah Rezza has paid tribute to the late Izi Yahya, also known as the Sean Bean of Malaysia, who passed away of an illness today.

Izi and Shah starred with Akademi Fantasia 5 chief judge and Female Paul Moss Fauziah Ahmad Daud (Kak Ogy) in the romantic comedies Ali Setan 1 and 2 in 1985 and 1986 respectively.

Ali Setan 1 earned Fauziah her second Best Actress win in the annual Malaysian Film Festival.

It also earned lead actor Azmil Mustapha (a k a the Malaysian Michael J Fox) the Best Actor award.

Both films were about the adventures of an intelligent but naughty university student, Ali, played by Azmil, who falls in love with freshie Asmidar, played by Fauziah.

Their relationship is disturbed by millionaire student Jeffri, whose family has an axe to grind against Ali's family.

Izi played the villain Jeffri.

Shah played one of Ali's close pals, Jalil the Kelantanese prince.

The Ali Setan films were Izi's first. He was widely praised for his portrayal of Jeffri.

He is also the only man in Malaysian cinema who played the love interest of jazz queen Sheila Majid, the ex-wife of Malaysian Idol judge and Akademi Fantasia 5 principal Roslan Aziz.

Sheila acted as Ali's foster sister Tipah, the woman who wins Jeff's heart and makes him change his evil ways.

Her character gave rise to the famous Malaysian phrase Tipah Tertipu (Cheated Tipah) which refers to sweet, young women who are tricked into losing their virginity.

Tipah Tertipu also became a hit song for hip hop group Ruffedge in 2004. The group later acted in their very own romantic comedy, also called Tipah Tertipu.

The film also starred Diya Kholid of Akademi Fantasia 5.

Shah said: "Izi was a very kind and humble man. We will all miss him.

"I pray that the entertainment industry honours his services appropriately."

Shah said Izi's acting career grew from strength to strength since the Ali Setan films and he deservingly won Best Actor for his portrayal of a barbaric, sex maniacal Japanese general in the 2003 hit film Embun.

Embun was directed by Izi's family pal Erma Fatima Rahmad, who is training Akademi Fantasia 2's Mas Ghani in acting. The World War 2 film also starred Erma's sister Umie Aida (the Malaysian Kate Winslet) and the late, great Hani Mohsin.

Shah, a nephew of Sultan Ismail Petra of Kelantan, and a distant relative of Akademi Fantasia 2's Kaer Azami, was also the wedding planner of pop queen Datuk Siti Nurhaliza, who got married last year.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Izi Yahya Seorang Insan Yang Peramah - Shah Rezza

Aktor comel 1980an Datuk Shah Rezza amat meminati Allahyarham Izi Yahya, Sean Bean Malaysia, yang meninggal dunia akibat penyakit jantung hari ini.

Izi dan Shah berlakon bersama pengkritik utama Akademi Fantasia 5 dan Paul Moss Wanita Fauziah Ahmad Daud (Kak Ogy) dalam komedi romantik Ali Setan 1 (1985) dan Ali Setan 2 (1986).

Fauziah telah memenangi anugerah Aktres Terbaik atas lakonannya dalam filem Ali Setan 1 di Pesta Filem Malaysia yang diadakan setiap tahun.

Aktor utama Ali Setan 1 dan 2 Azmil Mustapha (Michael J Fox Malaysia) telah memenangi anugerah Aktor Terbaik untuk Ali Setan 1.

Kedua-dua filem mengisahkan kehidupan Ali, lakonan Azmil, seorang pelajar universiti yang pintar tetapi nakal. Dia bercinta dengan juniornya Asmidar, lakonan Fauziah.

Cinta suci mereka diganggu oleh pelajar jutawan Jeffri, yang datang dari keluarga yang memusuhi keluarga Ali.

Izi membawakan watak Jeffri.

Shah membawakan watak Jalil, putera Kelantan yang merupakan kawan baik Ali.

Filem Ali Setan 1 dan 2 adalah filem pertama Izi. Lakonannya sebagai Jeffri dipuji oleh peminat.

Izi adalah satu-satunya aktor yang bercinta dengan ratu jazz Sheila Majid dalam filem. Sheila ialah bekas isteri hakim Malaysian Idol dan pengetua Akademi Fantasia 5 Roslan Aziz.

Sheila membawakan watak adik angkat Ali, Tipah, yang menawan hati Jeff dan mengubah sikap jahatnya.

Watak Tipah menbawa kepada peribahasa Malaysia Tipah Tertipu yang bermaksud gadis ayu yang dicabul kehormatannya akibat tipu helah lelaki buaya darat.

Tipah Tertipu juga menjadi lagu hit buat kumpulan hip hop terkenal Ruffedge di tahun 2004.

Ruffedge kemudiannya berlakon dalam komedi romantis sendiri, juga dipanggil Tipah Tertipu, bersama Diya Kholid Akademi Fantasia 5.

Shah berkata: "Izi amat baik hati dan merendah diri. Kita semua akan merinduinya.

"Saya berdoa agar industri hiburan akan memberi penghormatan sewajarnya untuk Allahyarham."

Shah berkata karier lakonan Izi berkembang maju sejak Ali Setan 1 dan 2, dan amat tepat Izi memenangi anugerah Aktor Terbaik Pesta Filem Malaysia untuk watak jeneral Jepun yang gila seks lagi kejam dalam filem 2003 Embun.

Embun diarahkan oleh kawan keluarga Izi, Erma Fatima Rahmad, yang juga mentor lakonan kepada Mas Ghani Akademi Fantasia 2.

Filem Perang Dunia Kedua itu turut dibintangi oleh adik Erma iaitu Umie Aida (Kate Winslet Malaysia) dan Allahyarham Hani Mohsin.

Shah, anak saudara Sultan Ismail Petra Kelantan, dan saudara bau bacang Kaer Azami Akademi Fantasia 2, terkenal sebagai pengurus perkahwinan ratu pop Datuk Siti Nurhaliza tahun lalu.
