Yusuf Islam To Produce Music Video Called My People

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) - Singer cum songwriter, Yusuf Islam is
collaborating with Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) for the production
of a music video for his latest song entitled "My People".

He said, the song that was written after the people's uprising in Egypt was
symbolic for those seeking basic freedom and human rights in a non-violent
way.

"The chorus of the song was sung by hundreds of people from around the
world, including from Malaysia. Now we are producing a video on what is
happening in Kuala Lumpur and I hope it will be available by end of this week,"
he told reporters at the Parliament lobby here Tuesday.

Yusuf or formerly known as Cat Stevens who arrived here Saturday upon the
invitation of Zulkifli Nordin (Independent-Kulim Bandar Baharu) received a warm
welcome from Members of Parliament, when he visited the Parliament House
Tuesday.

Yusuf said the music video which would have animation features was in its
final stage and would be completed by end of the week.

He also said that while here, he would hold discussions with the Education
Ministry officials and relate his experience in delivering education in Muslim
schools in the United Kingdom.

"Our experience is actually very useful because we live in a multicultural
society and therefore, the syllabus that we designed is very positive towards
bringing up children with moral and good education," he said.

The syllabus, he said catered for children until the age of 12, integrates
general knowledge with basic moral foundation which is suitable for all, not
just for Islamic schools.
