SURVIVOR MALAYSIA: THE WARRIORS OF MELAKA

1.0 Introduction

At the height of the Melaka empire in the 15th century, its capital grew into one of the most

important entrepots of its time, with territory covering much of the Malay Peninsula, Riau Islands

and a significant portion of the east coast of Sumatra. Malacca was a very successful empire in the

region until it fell to Portugese in 1511.

Melaka has known with tale of the legendary Malay warrior Hang Tuah and his four warriors friends,

which are Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekir and Hang Lekiu. They lived during the height of the

Sultanate of Melaka in the 15th century. The tales of Hang Tuah are found in the Sejarah Melayu

or Malay Annals, a semi-historical record of Malay history and the Hikayat Hang Tuah, regarded as

a work of fiction of the 16th century. The authors portrays Malay kings as having divine origin and

suggesting that Hang Tuah and friends personified the undivided loyalty towards the ruler.

The warriors are seen as symbols of heroism and patriotism worth emulating by Malaysian today.

Among royal circles, Hang Tuah represents Malay loyalty and deference to the rulers. Such loyalty

strengthens the institution of Malay monarchy.

4.0 Twists and Justification

Three Tribes: Three tribes will compete starting at the beginning of the season. Three tribes idea

will ensure that the players don’t necessarily rely on their original tribe thus can avoid pagonging in

merge phase of the game.

Tribes absorb and reshuffle: At certain point of this game, tribe will be absorb to only two tribes. The

tribe will be shuffled. This will add the element of high social and strategic skills. Players need able to

adapt and become more flexible to situation.

Hidden Immunity Idol: A Hidden Immunity Idol will be hidden at all camps. It might be replant after

usage of the idol/

Royal Immunity Idol: An additional a Hidden Idol will be in play post-merge. The idol will be called

Royal Immunity Idol. During Melaka Empire, the Royal has the highest power. The ability to veto will

implement in this idol. This idol has the power to veto the usage of Hidden Immunity Idol.

For example : Player A decides to use his idol, then player B can stand up to veto out the usage of

hidden immunity idol played by Player A.

In game: After all players casted their votes. If any player declares that they playing they idol, the

host will informs the bearer of the Royal Immunity Idol right before the result announced. If he

decided to plays the Royal Immunity Idol, the idol that played does not count and wasted.

This twist will add the element of surprise. The bearer of the idol must use it wisely and strategically,

when to use the idol and either to save himself or to save other alliance members. I understand that

excessive twist will make people get bored. This twist is significant and not that excessive.

5.0 Changes

Immunity Idol Searching Method: After 19 Seasons, I believe this is the right time to amends the

searching method for hidden Idol. I would like to propose new method that involves virtual camp.

Method:

a. The a set of numbered pictures of the camp will be posted at the Tribe page. They live in separate

Islands, so there will be three different set of pictures for every camp. The search will based on the

pictures.

b. Every tribe might have different clue.

c. Like real life, every searching of the idol will affect the player fatigue. This will more or less affect

their challenge performance. To be fair, searching without clue will affect little bit more.

In this change, everybody will have opportunity to find the idol similar to real game. This game

changing will bring the purpose of alliance into new dimension where searching of idol can be more

systematic within the alliance.

Because of this, it is possible for the Royal Immunity Idol been found without any clue given.

Challenges: Numbers of interactive and creative games will be increase. Theme based game also will

get place in this season. Flash game will also have a fair share in this season.

6.0 Conclusion

This bid will create a new game experience for contestants. With significant twists and changes, I

believe this bid deserve to get proper judgement from fellow past contestants. Thank you.
