Othman By Alif Firdaus

Set in 1960s Malaysia, Othman follows a respected Malay police officer whose marriage to De Ling, a Chinese woman, sparks quiet unrest in a town still haunted by racial divisions and historical wounds. As Othman tries to balance love, duty, and loyalty, his closest friend Ishak begins to twist the truth, weaponizing doubt, resentment, and systemic bias.
