Petition for a Malaysian producer to make a Netflix series about a Sungai Petani girl moving to London to work in a PR company.

Her neighbor downstairs is a half-Malay-half-white chef...working in a Malaysian restaurant that sells 15 quids Nasi Lemak.

Call it ‘Alya in London’.
Alya has a crush on her neighbor Chef Azriel.

But Chef Azriel is currently dating Tengku Diana, a wealthy heiress studying Asian History at SOAS.

Diana invited Alya to parties, introducing her to her Malay circle in Kensington. She's kind.

Alya is conflicted - to caras or not?
Meanwhile, Alya's career is flying.

Her tempe bar launch was a success. By offering the Malaysian + Javanese perspective, Alya came up with a plan to position tempe as a high-end snack for the busy yuppies.

Alya was packing for Paris for a weekend with Azriel & Diana, when...
Alya's highschool crush Amirul messaged her.

'I'm in London. Pret tomorrow?', he says.

10 years ago, Amirul was the popular guy of SMK Bakar Arang, a son of a local UMNO Chief. Alya was a pembimbing rakan sebaya, a social outcast. Now he's asking her out.

"This is redemption!"
Alya is conflicted.

Should she continue to use Diana to get closer with the fancy crowd of the Kensington circle...while stealing Azriel, or...

Should she pursue a simple romance with Hackett-wearing Amirul & relive her Bakar Arang teenage dream?

XOXO, Salam.
