social behaviour among malaysian youth : lack of interest on malaysia traditional entertainment.

Lack of interest in wayang kulit among Malaysian youth. Malaysian youth nowadays are not interested anymore on traditional entertainment because of digital technology that provides more digital interactive entertainment. They had no interest to watch wayang kulit although that either unsure cultural Malay heritage which contains art values, education and entertaining. For them watch wayang kulit is a waste of time because their out of date showmanship ,boring and story-telling of old history. They are more interested in watching story on television or action stories in cinema theatres or only casually play video game which promises attractive special effects. This is because of influence of new media technology that provides more entertainment. They forgot about their culture and just follow the technology. Lack of interest in traditional entertainment because they think that who included with wayang kulit only group old folks only.They also unexposed with wayang kulit culture in their environment and innocents on puppet theatre because puppet theatre only bring to in tourism seasons only. They dislike atmosphere open air, noisy and congested with members of the public who come see the wayang kulit.They forced gathered mass because wayang kulit usually projected at a clearing whether field or hall. Different on the other hand for them who are looking wayang kulit show as a symbolic and rich presentation with its ulterior knowledge and arts behind statue gesture ,gamelan and story music delivered.As if this puppet theatre presentation with role as a from which media convey messages and lesson to society. Only the researcher who involve in wayang kulit will appreciate it.
