Die Die Tak Bayar 死都不給 (2013)

Inspired by Dario Fo’s Can’t Pay! Won’t Pay!

Before the critical “Patriotic Tax” policy is launched, a supermarket in town has already started raising the price of goods. This causes resistance from the public who all of a sudden launch a “DIE DIE TAK BAYAR” movement — grab all the goods in the supermarket and resist to pay.

Soon later, the factory’s workers join the movement. They start a strike named “DIE DIE TAK KERJA” to denounce low salary and rising prices…

Meanwhile, a Kopitiam lady boss, Nora, is killed in a car accident. She refuses to die and begs to the Death to let her live. She even suggests bribing the Death (raising the issue of corruption) in order to be resurrected. She succeeds and is sent back to her own Kopitiam waiting to be resurrected. Then she witnesses Anastascia, her employee in the kopitiam, together with her friend, Margaret, coming to hide a bunch of goods in the shop that they have ‘grabbed’ from a nearby supermarket.

Nora is angry but she can’t do anything because she’s still invisible. The only thing she can do is wait there until she comes ‘back to life’ when she can try to stop them…
