For those unfamiliar with the popular Malaysian film, the first instalment of Gayong was a biopic about the late great Datuk Meor Abdul Rahman (played by Beto Kusyairy), who was the grandmaster and founder of Silat Gayong Malaysia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It focused on Meor\u2019s dedication to teaching silat and his struggle to balance his responsibilities as a teacher and family man, while also highlighting his role as a protector of his community against invaders during the World War II era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
