Have you ever heard of a children's television programme named Aksi Mat Yo Yo?
This programme was brought to you in the early 1980's; the era where I was in Singapore Broadcasting Corporation, an organization now known as Media Corporation of Singapore.
I could'nt remember when but it was about twenty-five years back where I worked with this company as a set designer.
In the humble beginning, it started with only three hosts. two cats named Yo Yo and Ya Ya and a veteran artiste named Mat Sentul. Yo Yo was a male cat whilst Ya Ya, a female one...The format was basically entertaining; small sketches and infortaining too... more children actors and actress were added gradually. the idea was simple in the first place but later the backdrop of the set changed according to script contents...o.k. may be my description for the theme could be quite dry. But believe me, this programme has enlightened many hearts and souls of many viewers specially among the malay society in Singapore and may be Malaysia too. As for the children artistes, most of them have grown to become teachers, producers, proffessionals and so on... and as for me, I'm a home-maker who seems to be busy with my own activity...
