Cantonese Opera In Malaysia

Malaysia used to have good performing artist in Cantonese Opera.   Cantonese Opera in Malaysia are mainly consist a group of old people who are also performing artist and musicians.  These group of people are easily 60s and above and the most elderly is coming to 90s.   Nowadays.... its so difficult to find a proper troupe that is complete with 6 main performers.  Artist without much 'qualification' in Cantonese Opera are upgrading themselves into the 2nd and 3rd leading artist.  Musicians and percussionist faced the same problem. 

The question is WHY?  WHY is this happening in Malaysia?  To make things worst, these 'upgraded' performers are back stepping each other.  WHY human must act this way? There are lots of questions with no answers.  

Market for Cantonese Opera is already bad and with the current economy will make it worst!  WHY can't these performing artist group together and makes the market and quality of performance better but instead of doing these, they tend to 'fight' among themselves competing for the lowest price and the quality of performance is degrading so badly that there are hardly any audience!  

Even some performing lead artist are coming from Hong Kong are not giving their top performance.  You may ask WHY??? Are't they are from the most prestigious country performing Cantonese Opera?  Yes, they are good performers but again with this type of supporting artist..... they don't even have the mood to perform better.  It is so sad to think about the future of Cantonese Opera in Malaysia.  Unlike Singapore, there is no support from the Government too.

With this situation, no wonder Cantonese Opera in Malaysia is coming to an end!
