ABOUT ME...

In 1989, Hafsham had another brilliant idea -- '2 Plus 1' and Imuda became limp-wristed Sam. "I created the role of Sam, the fashion designer, to be able to fit in with Louisa Chong, Susan Lankester and Raja Ema. I thought it would be difficult and limited for a 'real' man to mix so intimately with the girls in our local context so I though Sam, who was not interested in women as he was inclined the other way, would do nicely. Also, it was not proper to show a normal man living with girls who were not closely related to him. I was sure Sam's character couldn't go far wrong."

Of course Sam ran headlong into trouble. Not with the Censorship Board or local authorities as might be expected but from parents! Imuda acted the role of Sam so convincingly, naturally and stylishly that boys were imitating his limp-wristed gestures of flicking the air with arms akimbo and various effeminate mannerisms! "Aiyo, the boys, especially those aged 7 to 10 years, were following my style of talking, sitting and standing!"

The parents were getting indignant and worried their boys might turn out gay. Parents wrote in to TV3 and newspapers to complain I was setting a bad example and I was a negative influence on impressionable adolescents! That was the main reason '2 Plus 1' was taken off the air after about 3 year compared to Pimai-pimai Tang Tu which is into its 14th year.

It was perhaps just as well. A certain sectror of our society took a fancy to Imuda's antics and especially him. "I received quite a few offers from people who thought I was really like that in real life! I am not gay but at times I had a tough time trying to convince others after playing the role so convincingly as Sam! A few refused to believe my claims, saying I couldn't possibly have acted so naturally if I wasn't one! It was just acting, acting, acting!"

Even Budin came in for some flak. "Budin is just a kampung boy, the archetypal stereotype of a jobless young man who likes to kacau orang (disturb people), have a good time hanging around his buddies and who makes pocket money selling empty bottles and old newspapers. Some said Budin went against the 'business' image of the new Malays and suggested Budin should get a proper job but that would be against his character. All these are just for laughs and people shouldn't take the play-acting so seriously!"

So far, Imuda has appeared in 15 movies 'Mat Som' and 'Mat Gelap'. Once, when shooting 'Mat Gelap', I had to walk through Central Market where I unexpectedly bumped into some friends who exclaimed, "Hi, lama tak jumpa. How are you?". A pity my director insisted I had to re-shoot as I thought it was such a natural scene."

Imuda has won two major awards -- 'Pelakon Komedi Popular' (Most Popular Comedy Actor) in 1993 and Best Supporting Actor in 1992. There should be another award tailor-made for him -- Most Hardworking Actor. Incredible as it may seem, while taking on roles left and right through the 80s, he was still working full-time with Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka as an artist!

"I know it sounds unbelievable but I was employed by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka for 15 years from 1978 to 1993! I worked from 9 to 5, the normal hours, and then went on to the shooting in the evening. I was Budin for 14 years but in reality I was Budin's opposite. Budin was jobless but I was holding two jobs! Budin is lazy and happy-go-lucky while I am very hardworking. Budin was everything I wasn't! Hey, actually I had 3 jobs -- I was drawing cartoons for Gila Gila, Geli Hati and Berita Minggu!"

Finally, in 1993, his boss asked him to choose. "I enjoyed being an artist with Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka but I was earning a salary and could look forward to a pension at 55 so I chose acting which offers more scope. I discovered I could act when I started to feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera while performing in 'Syy'.

"Whatever the case, I could still draw cartoons at home or in my spare time. I never draw during a shoot even though I may some free time while waiting for my turn. I believe in total concentration on each job."

In November 1994, Imuda tied the knot with Rozalina, now a manager with Menara Kuala Lumpur. "I was introduced to Rozalina in 1993 just after she returned from her studies in the USA. As so many thought I was not interested in them, I almost gave up hope of ever finding a girlfriend but Rozalina, in America all this time, never saw '2 Plus 1' so she was completely unaware of Sam! It is very funny that she had never even heard of me as a comedian when she met me. I never showed her videos of '2 Plus 1' until we became steady -- just in case she had other ideas!"

In the second year, Imuda proposed while driving. "Nana (his pet name for her), I want to marry you. Will you marry me?" Unlike Louisa Chong who said 'yes' immediately to her husband, Nana told Imuda she would give him the answer the next day! "That night I 'tak tidur' (couldn't sleep), praying she would agree."

She did and they are now the proud parents of one-year-old Raihana. Imuda's comic book 'Pimai-pimai Tang Tu', published last August is dedicated to 'Nana and Hana'!

In 1992, Imuda released a joint album with Susan Lankester titled 'Terang Gelap' (Bright and Dark), his only attempt at the charts. Now he is immersed in his own company 'Im-Concept' which primarily sells merchandise like T-shirts, caps, mugs, key chains, all emblazoned with his Budin character. Like Lat, the other kampung boy, he is hoping to animate 'Pimai-pimai Tang Tu' into a television series ala The Simpsons.

For Hari Raya, he has completed two specials, one featuring Ziana Zain and Awi at Kenyir Dam and the other, 'Gaya Aidil Fitri' for RTM. Light years from the time when he nearly appeared as a corpse in 'Mayat' and for free too

TENTANG AKU

IMUDA merupakan salah seorang kartunis yang sangat popular di Malaysia. Populariti beliau bukan sahaja dalam bidang kartun malah mencakupi bidang seni yang lain seperti teater, drama, filem, nyanyian dan catan.

Sejarah awal Imuda
Lahir sebagai Abdul Rahim bin Muda di Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang pada 13 Disember 1959, nama Imuda diperolehi daripada nama panggilan beliau, Im, dan bapanya, Muda.
Imuda merupakan anak ke-6 daripada lapan orang adik-beradik hasil perkongsian hidup bapanya, Muda bin Nordin dengan ibunya, Halijah binti Chik.
Imuda mendapat pendidikan awal di Sekolah Kebangsaan Khir Johari dan kemudian menghabiskan persekolahannya sehingga Tingkatan 5 di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bukit Mertajam.
Sejak kecil lagi, Imuda meminati semua bidang seni. Seawal empat tahun, beliau sudah mula terpukau melihat poster-poster wayang yang dilukis.
Beliau selalu memujuk ibu bapanya menonton wayang, tetapi lebih banyak memberi perhatian kepada poster wayang daripada filem itu sendiri.
Secara tidak langsung, poster-poster wayang tersebut menjadi sumber inspirasi untuk Imuda menjadi seorang pelukis.
Cita-cita beliau hanya mahu menjadi seorang pelukis. Semasa masih kanak-kanak lagi, Imuda sudah memperlihatkan keupayaan untuk melukis. Ketika Darjah Enam, beliau sudah mula melukis strip kartun, sepertimana yang dilihatnya di dalam komik-komik di waktu itu. Peminatnya terdiri daripada kawan-kawan.

Dari Pulau Pinang ke Kuala Lumpur
Dari usia muda lagi, Imuda sudah membuat keputusan untuk melukis. Selepas tamat Sijil Peperiksaan Malaysia (SPM) pada tahun 1978, beliau bekerja di United Books Company, sebuah syarikat yang agak dikenali ketika itu di Pulau Pinang.
Di sana Imuda bertindak sebagai pelukis ilustrasi untuk beberapa majalah kanak-kanak, antaranya Dunia Kanak-kanak. Beliau turut bertindak sebagai pembaca pruf di syarikat tersebut.
Imuda hanya bertahan selama 2 tahun di syarikat itu sebelum bekerja di sebuah kilang gula di Perai. Semasa bekerja sebagai pelukis ilustrasi, Imuda cuma dibayar RM110 sebulan, tetapi sebagai pekerja kilang, beliau dibayar RM15 sehari. Lebih mahal walaupun kerjanya agak teruk.
Sewaktu majalah Gila-Gila mula meledak di pasaran pada tahun 1978, Imuda turut menyumbang karya-karya kartunnya ke majalah tersebut. Kartun beliau mula tersiar sejak keluaran kedua Gila-Gila.
Dari situ beliau melebarkan lagi sayapnya ke penerbitan-penerbitan lain seperti majalah Gelihati dan Berita Minggu.
Desakan jiwanya untuk menjadi pelukis membawa beliau memohon kerja di Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka di Kuala Lumpur. Beliau kemudian diterima bekerja sebagai pembantu pelukis.

Teater, drama dan filem
Semasa bertugas di Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Imuda mula terlibat dalam bidang lakonan, bermula dengan teater. Tetapi sebelum mendapat peluang berlakon, beliau terpaksa mencuci lantai dan menolong mengangkat barang-barang di set lakonan.
Akhirnya beliau ditawarkan untuk berlakon dalam sebuah pementasan berjudul Mayat. Bagi Imuda, itu bukanlah satu permulaan yang baik, apatah lagi beliau diminta berlakon sebagai mayat!
Namun begitu, Mayat diterima baik oleh penonton dan Imuda serta kumpulan teaternya terus mengadakan persembahan hingga ke Sabah dan Sarawak.

Awal 1980an, Imuda membuat kemunculan pertamanya di slot Drama Minggu Ini melalui cerita Bahtera. Beliau dibayar RM50 untuk watak tambahan. Namun begitu, beliau rasa gembira, apatah lagi bila diminta untuk berlakon dalam beberapa drama selepas itu. Peranannya juga semakin besar dan beliau dibayar RM100.

Beliau kemudiannya dipelawa berlakon di dalam filem Mekanik, filem pertama beliau, di mana beliau merasakan tidak percaya bila dibayar RM600 untuk penggambaran selama 4 hari – apatah lagi di dalam format warna! Drama Minggu Ini dihasilkan di dalam hitam putih!

Pada hujung 1983, Imuda telah ditawarkan watak sebagai Budin dalam pementasan Syy… yang ditulis oleh Dr Hatta Azad Khan. Ceritanya adalah mengenai penduduk sebuah setinggan yang memprotes pihak Dewan Bandaraya yang mahu membina loji najis di kampung mereka, Kampung Seri Wangi. Hafsham, pengarah filem Mekanik, ketika menyaksikan pementasan tersebut, beranggapan ia mampu menjadi drama sitcom yang menarik. Lalu beliau mengusulkan ideanya di samping mengekalkan pelakon-pelakon yang asal. Pada mulanya, ia mengisi slot Drama Swasta di RTM pada tahun 1984, sebelum berhijrah ke TV3 dengan judul Kampung Seri Wangi, dan kemudiannya Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu.
Kalau sebelum ini Imuda hanya dikenali di kalangan penggemar-penggemar kartun sahaja, dengan sitcom tersebut beliau mula popular ke seluruh negara. Malah orang ramai lebih mengenalinya sebagai Budin sahaja daripada Imuda!

Tahun 1989, Hafsham menghasilkan sitcom 2 + 1. Imuda memegang watak sebagai Sam, seorang lelaki lembut. Turut bersama dalam sitcom tersebut ialah Louisa Chong, Susan Lankester dan Raja Ema. Sitcom tersebut menerima kritikan yang agak hebat terutama mengenai watak Sam. Dan tidak hairanlah siri tersebut hanya bertahan selama 3 tahun sahaja, berbanding dengan Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu selama 14 tahun.
Imuda turut menerima kritikan mengenai watak lakonannya itu. Tetapi bagi beliau, ia hanyalah untuk hiburan sahaja. Orang ramai tidak perlu ambil serius dengan lakonan beliau.
Dalam pada itu, Imuda terus menerima tawaran berlakon untuk filem, antaranya Balik Kampung, Kembara Seniman Jalanan, Hati Bukan Kristal, Mat Som (diadaptasikan daripada karya Lat), Mat Gelap, Imigran dan Jutawan Fakir. Sehingga kini Imuda masih lagi aktif sebagai pelukis dan pelakon, di samping aktiviti-aktiviti seni yang lain,

Gaya kerja
Kebanyakan karya kartun Imuda bersifat loose dan joke dengan sedikit slapstick.
Selepas bergelar kartunis popular, pada pertengahan 1980an, Imuda mula belajar teknik melukis melalui buku.
Selama tiga tahun dia cuba mendalami teknik lukisan menggunakan akrilik dan pensil warna, tanpa ada guru yang mengajarnya.

Anugerah dan aktiviti lain
Komik pertama Imuda ialah Hang Sebat, setebal 20 halaman. Beliau dibayar sebanyak RM50.00 atas hasil usahanya itu. Imuda juga pernah menghasilkan album bersama Susan Lankester berjudul Terang Gelap pada tahun 1992.
Tahun 1992 juga, menyaksikan Imuda mendapat anugerah sebagai Pelakon Pembantu Terbaik dan kemudiannya Pelakon Komedi Popular pada tahun 1993.
Dan pada tahun 1993 juga, Imuda meninggalkan Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka selepas berkhidmat selama 15 tahun, untuk menumpukan perhatian dalam bidang lakonan.
Di samping itu, beliau terus melukis kartun, samada di rumah ataupun di masa-masa terluang.
Imuda juga memiliki syarikatnya sendiri, Im-Concept yang menjual barangan seperti t-shirt, cap, mug, rantai kunci – kebanyakannya dihiasi dengan karakter Budin.
Beliau berharap suatu hari nanti akan dapat menghasilkan siri animasi Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu untuk siaran televisyen.
Imuda pernah membuat pameran solo pertamanya di Balai Berita, New Strait Times. Pameran yang diberi nama Wajah-wajah Kesayangan Hamba itu memaparkan 46 catan yang berupa potret artis dan personaliti terkenal dalam dan luar negara.

12 Januari 2008, Imuda menghadiahkan lima potret hasil tangannya kepada Galeri Perfileman Finas di Jalan Pahang, Kuala Lumpur dalam program Tiada Gambar Seindah Lukisan Bersama Imuda. Kelima-lima lukisan itu ialah potret pelakon lama Maria Menado, Sarimah, Rosnani, Umi Kalthum dan Latifah Omar.
Imuda juga merupakan salah seorang kartunis residen untuk Balai Seni Lukis Negara.

Imuda seorang yang sentiasa bekerja keras untuk mencapai apa yang dicita-citakannya – sikap yang sebenarnya jauh dari watak Budin dalam Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu.
Sedikit kata-kata dari Dr Hatta Azad Khan: “Kombinasi Imuda sebagai pelakon komedi dan pelukis adalah gabungan luar biasa yang menarik. Jarang kita bertemu dengan pelukis komik yang dapat melakonkan watak lukisannya.”
