My 1st Royalty….

I was clearing old-old pictures from my PC la kunun..bila aku terjumpa gambar ni!... I’ve been a MACP registered member since 2000,..i remember those days whenever Ray and I received our mail from MACP, we’ll be jokingly read out the mail (even before we open the contents of the mail)..”Please collect your CHEQUE amounting RMxxxxx…” hahaha..i guest this has been the routines since then…just as our positive HOPES that one day we might have the chance to taste what would it be like to receive your own ROYALTIES…shall I say the enjoyment of being ACKNOWLEDGE for all your works and efforts…for so many years by a body such as MACP.

7 years later in 2007 that jokes came into reality...when, well..as usual Rayner and I received our mail..but this time a bit small..an envelope from MACP..i started to say “ Please collect…..” I saw something familiar design slowly appearing from the envelope as I pulled it out!...i looked at Ray …he is already on the floor ..Fainted! (no lah!..macam aku juga pucat baca surat tu..). “Attached with this letter is your cheque amounting to RMxxx.xx as being ROYALTIES distribution for the year 2007 bla bla bla…for your works title “Nunu Poduli” (lagu dusun lagi tu..)…”

That day we are on cloud 9 or maybe 10…wakakak..we laughed, shocked and still trying to believe it..for a few minutes!! I even pinched my hand..making sure I’m not dreaming!...adui!..yes its real!..amount not that significant to us that time but to us the "proves of acknowledgement" from MACP is number 1.

The moral of the story is, to all composers that haven’t register…please register your works..cause one day you might also collecting your own cheques named ROYALTIES….like us laughing all the way to the bank!

P/s jumlah indak lah banyak tapi..at least siurang tau yang kami sudah dalam paylist MACP hehehe…syukur kepada TUHAN

Its nice to have visited your blog - 3 collaborative celebrated composers of today who made Sabahans proud. Asmin's works have long captivated me just like what John Gaisah had done in the early days. The trophy of Asmin's achievements in national music industry is tremendous inspite of the fact that he is a busy public servant based in Sabah. I am confident particularly Azmin and the three of you "stooges" will only strive to prosper. I look ahead to share each of our expertees.
