SHARMILA BILLOT speaks to Poh Si Teng about her winning short film on
transsexuals.

FOR a young filmmaker, Poh Si Teng is bold and courageous when it
comes to tackling controversial issues.

Poh's short film, Pecah Lobang, was one of the winning entries at the
Freedom Film Festival (FFF) 2008.

Pecah Lobang, which means "busted", is about transsexual sex workers
in Malaysia. It is also a term commonly used by transsexuals.
