GEORGE TOWN: An aspiring actor and badminton player flew in from Taiwan to be among 400 people who auditioned for a role in the biopic of badminton hero Datuk Lee Chong Wei. Huang Tzu Wei, a county-level player from Taichung, said he learnt about the audition online and through Taiwanese newspapers. Having idolised Lee for a long time, the 17-year-old said he was ecstatic about trying for a part in the film, Rise of the Legend, which chronicles the Penangite’s steady rise in the badminton world. “My friends kept telling me that my playing technique resembles that of Chong Wei. I knew I had to fly in to try my luck in the film as I also wish to pursue a career in acting. Hopefully, I can land a role,” said the teenager who started playing badminton when he was 10 and has been watching videos of Lee in action to hone his skills. Huang was among the 400 who auditioned at the Permata Sports Complex in Paya Terubong yesterday. The movie, produced by CB Pictures Sdn Bhd in association with MAHU Pictures, is slated to start shooting in July and for release during next Chinese New Year. Director Teng Bee said the storyline would be based on Lee’s book Dare to be a Champion.

RESPONSIBILITY is a big word, literally. And what it means is ownership and accountability. When we commit to responsibility, it means we are committing ourselves to lead, and to solve problems, and most importantly to follow through with our plan. Jeremy (in the comic strip Zits on Page 4) had good intentions; he wanted to cook a meal for his family. Unfortunately, he stopped short of being responsible.

situation and your readiness to take on such a commitment. How much control would you have over the situation? Discuss in groups of four. Then, share your group’s decision in a class discussion: would you take up the offer to star in this movie? Explain why in terms of control, responsibility and self-control. Give examples to justify your answers.
