Choice aplenty
�I�m also very excited about my baby Stamp. This is my first attempt at making a comedy. I have been planning to direct a comedy for a few years. In fact, I started pitching Stamp to several producers in the past few years but they weren�t interested until I met some producers from Tayangan Unggul. �Stamp is different but it also has mainstream elements in it. You can see a bit of Ocean�s Eleven and a little bit of Snatch in it. �I don�t know much about the suggestion to increase the price of tickets of foreign movies. But if it is true and is about to be implemented, I don�t think it will be a good move for the local movie industry. �It (the price increase) is not the way to compensate the local film fraternity.� Yasmin Ahmad, 50 �I don�t know what to expect from the local movie industry this year.
A KHAWAGA’S TALE: Child birth in Egypt
Should the baby be born in Cairo or should mom head home to a familiar healthcare system, the warmth of the family bosom and doctors she can converse with? Into the equation you must add the future nationality of the child and that of any grandchildren. Check with your embassy because even though your baby may be entitled to your nationality, because you have been born there, their own children, your grandchildren, may not be entitled to the same. This was the case with a British national and his Gambian wife who experienced visa problems recently and spoke only on the condition that their names were not printed in case it prejudices their case. “I was outraged that my wife was rejected for a visa. She has traveled to the UK a number of times and our two other children were born in Britain." “If the baby has to be born in Egypt, I am told his children will not be entitled to British nationality." When mom does choose to give birth in Cairo, then it's necessary to find a doctor and a hospital.
