CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: Al-Matin Yatim shares why "to be a good actor, first you need to be a good human being"

Al-Matin Yatim, the recipient of the Best Actor for a Telemovie/Anthology award at Pesta Perdana 2025, has made his mark on stage, film, and television since 2015. His emotionally-powerful and award-winning performance in the film "Belaian" (Malay for "caress") saw him portray a single father battling postnatal depression. He shares how the resounding words of a mentor have informed his approach to his craft for the past decade, why he'd tell his younger self that it's okay to take risks, and why he feels passionately about uncovering his cultural roots.
