"Arus Malam" portrays Mamak restaurants as vibrant communal hubs in Malaysian cities, especially during late-night hours. These establishments are more than just eateries; they are spaces where people gather, converse, and experience the city's nocturnal energy. The inclusion of stray cats, drawn by patrons' generosity, adds depth to this narrative, highlighting the Mamak's role as a welcoming space for all. This detail underscores the establishment's constant motion and its integral place in the urban landscape, reflecting the dynamic and inclusive spirit of Malaysian cities.
