Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Faizal Azumu can now add acting to his CV after appearing in a cameo role in the “Ratu Ten Pin 2: Shalin” TV drama.
In a newly released teaser, Faizal, popularly known as Peja, appeared beside the drama main actress, Jasmin Suraya, who played the character of former national tenpin bowling queen Shalin Zulkifli in the series.
Mantap, Peja! Dia dah berlakon lah pulak sekarang. Taknak kalah dengan Najib! Bangga teman dengan orang Perak sorang ni! Kipidap! pic.twitter.com/SkE3r57UZC
Inside the scene, Faizal, who played a character named “Pak Peja”, defended “Shalin” from being egged further by two assailants after alighting from a bus.
Although the scrip left much to be desired, it appears that the former Perak Menteri Besar is natural in acting and doesn’t look out of place when playing the character.
While many netizens just laugh it off, there are also those who said that the youth and sports minister is a better actor than his predecessor Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar.
Not only that, but DAP social media bureau chief Syahredzan Johan also praised Faizal’s acting ability.
His acting, based on this clip, is pretty good. Look at his eyes. I think this is what they call method. https://t.co/Jp4CtubyKw
The TV drama centres around the life and professional career of the national tenpin bowling queen, Shalin Zulkifli, who is regarded as one of the best women’s tenpin bowling athletes of her generation.
