Che Mamat Parang Tumpol
Che Mamat, who lives in a kampong with a mother who finds him useless, is perpetually finding himself in unlucky situations. Determined to change his life for his girlfriend, he submits his cousin’s work and ends up winning a story writing competition organised by the newspaper Berita Singapura. As he starts his new job as a journalist, his unluckiness inadvertently ties him to the notorious Black Hand gang, landing him in trouble with the police and the news agency as well, leading to a wild goose chase.
