Rehearsal
Jalil (Yexiang)
"Innovation over tradition—I put us on the map!" > The Visionary Leader. Ambitious, forward-thinking, and proud. Jalil believes taking bold risks and charging higher rent at Marina Bay Sands is the only way to save the Pasar Malam from irrelevance, blind to how his grand vision squeezes the everyday stall owner.
Journalist (Anson)
"Following the second leadership restructuring this month... how did you overthrow Mr Jalil?" The Inquisitive Press. Eager for the scoop on the sudden market shakeup, they ask the probing questions that put Mr Bao and Mr Cai on the spot. They serve as the public eye, broadcasting the drama, shifting narratives, and capturing the downfall of the Pasar Malam's leadership.
