Anita Sarawak mahu hasilkan satu autobiografi mengenai kehidupannya sebelum ucap selamat tinggal kepada dunia seni
KANVAS kehidupan figura bernama Anita Sarawak ini terpalit seribu warna. Ada rona pelangi dan ada juga warna kusam dan hitam, seolah-olah menterjemahkan kisah hidup penyanyi ini dari mula mengenali erti dunia seni hinggalah ke saat kegemilangannya yang masih berlanjutan hingga ke hari ini. Hadirnya menjadi idola kepada semua anak seni. Bukan saja dari segi pencapaian, malah penampilannya yang sering memukau pandangan itu juga menjadi ikutan ramai.
Dan alangkah indahnya jika setiap saat yang dilaluinya itu dikongsi bersama peminat yang tidak pernah jemu menyokong kerjaya seninya. Justeru, sebelum bibir mengucapkan selamat tinggal pada dunia seni yang dicintainya, ingin pemilik nama penuh Ithnanini Mohd Taib ini meninggalkan satu khazanah yang tidak ternilai harganya iaitu sebuah autobiografi, yang akan mendedahkan segala-galanya yang selama ini menjadi satu rahsia yang digenggam kemas dalam hatinya.
Perancangan untuk menyiapkan buku itu sudah lama wujud dalam hatinya. Namun, kesibukan kerana melalui jadual kerja yang padat membuatkan Anita atau lebih akrab disapa Kak Nita ini terpaksa menangguhkan dulu pembikinan biografi itu.
“Idea ini memang sudah ada dalam kepala sejak tiga tahun lalu tapi kerana kesibukan, hasrat itu terpaksa ditangguhkan terlebih dulu. Pun begitu, bahan-bahan untuk menghasilkan autobiografi ini sudah ada cuma Kak Nita perlukan masa untuk menyiapkannya.
“Bila ia akan siap, Kak Nita tak dapat nak berikan tempoh masa tetapi apa yang pasti biografi itu akan siap dan akan menemui peminat Kak Nita yang selama ini tak henti-henti bertanyakan buku itu sejak Kak Nita melahirkan hasrat untuk menerbitkannya,” cerita Anita yang ditemui pada majlis pelancaran lagu single hari raya miliknya berjudul Maafkan baru-baru ini di Restoran Al-Halabi, Hotel JW Marriot, di ibu negara.
Sambil ditemani suami tersayang, Mahathir Abdullah yang setia berada di sisi, Anita yang kelihatan jelita dengan rambut potongan bob berkata autobiografi itu akan menjadi sebuah naskhah yang akan menceritakan segala kisah silam yang pernah berlaku dalam hidupnya.
“Sepanjang Kak Nita berada dalam dunia seni, saya sudah melalui segala-galanya. Pahit, manis, suka duka, semuanya akan saya rangkumkan dalam biografi ini. Buku yang akan diterbitkan dalam dua versi iaitu dalam Bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris ini akan menyelongkar semua cerita peribadi saya. Mungkin akan ada yang beranggapan bahawa buku ini akan hanya menceritakan yang indah-indah saja. Tapi sebenarnya tidak.
“Saya tidak akan merahsiakan apa-apa. Biografi ini penuh dengan kejujuran. Antara kisah yang akan saya dedahkan nanti dalam buku itu ialah kisah perceraian ibu bapa kak Nita. Dan kalau ada sesiapa yang terasa dengan apa yang akan saya dedahkan nanti, itu terpulang pada mereka. Kalau mereka suka, mereka boleh baca. Kalau tak suka, tak payah baca. Bagi Kak Nita sendiri, tidak ada apa yang hendak dimalukan apabila mengambil keputusan untuk mendedahkan kontroversi itu,” tegas penyanyi berusia 57 tahun ini.
Untuk menjadikan biografi itu lebih bermakna, Anita berkata ia juga akan diselitkan dengan gambar dan surat peribadi yang disifatkannya sebagai paparan eksklusif untuk peminatnya.
“"Insya-Allah Kak Nita akan pulang semula ke Las Vegas nanti untuk mengambil semua barang-barang peribadi bagi membolehkan biografi itu dapat disiapkan,” katanya yang menyimpul hasrat untuk mengadakan konsert berskala besar membabitkan pemuzik orkestra.
Klip video Maafkan kisah benar
KETIKA ini melodi Maafkan barangkali sudah mendapat tempat di corong radio tanah air dan sudah didengar sebilangan besar peminat setia penyanyi bertaraf superstar ini. Sewaktu majlis pelancaran single itu, Kak Nita berkata dia cukup terharu kerana akhirnya impiannya untuk menghasilkan sebuah lagu raya tercapai juga.
Sambil mengakui penerbitan lagu itu tidak akan terhasil tanpa sokongan kuat suami tersayang dan orang di sekelilingnya, Anita berkata lagu Maafkan sebenarnya seperti sebuah biografi yang menceritakan perjalanan hidupnya.
Dan untuk menjadikan lagu itu lebih bermakna, Anita turut merakamkan sebuah klip video yang menurutnya diangkat dari kisah benar.
“Perkara yang paling Kak Nita ingat adalah apabila Kak Nita terpaksa menyambut 1 Syawal tanpa kehadiran seorang lelaki bernama ayah. Setiap kali apabila Kak Nita terkenangkan membesar tanpa ayah di sisi, pasti air mata ini akan menitis. Mengenangkannya saja boleh membuat Kak Nita menangis, apatah lagi untuk menceritakannya. Tapi, semua itu berubah sebaik saja Kak Nita berkahwin dengan Abang Mahathir sejak sedekad lalu.
“Bukan mudah untuk membesar tanpa seorang lelaki bernama ayah. Lebih tragis apabila melihat teman lain bahagia menyambut hari raya bersama keluarga tercinta. Itulah yang Kak Nita rasakan masa zaman kanak-kanak dulu. Sedih, terasa kosong dan keadaan yang sama Kak Nita lalui sewaktu menyanyi di Caesar’s Palace di Las Vegas dulu. Nampak gah tapi pada hakikatnya, jiwa Kak Nita sunyi sehinggalah Abang Mahathir datang dalam hidup ini.
Mengenai sambutan hari raya yang bakal menjelang tiba, Kak Nita akan menyambut ketibaan Syawal di rumah ibu tirinya, Datin Umi Kalsum.
“Kak Nita hanya akan berada di rumah Umi pada hari raya pertama nanti kerana pada malam sebelumnya, Kak Nita terbabit dengan persembahan di sebuah kapal pelayaran di Singapura. Masa mula-mula mendapat tawaran untuk membuat persembahan di situ, tidak sangka pula yang persembahan itu berlangsung sehari sebelum hari raya. Jadi Kak Nita pun menelefon Umi dan bertanyakan apakah Kak Nita perlu menerima undangan itu.
“Namun Umi menasihatkan Kak Nita supaya meneruskan saja kerana rezeki yang datang tidak patut ditolak. Jadi selepas Kak Nita buat persembahan, Kak Nita akan pulang ke Kuala Lumpur untuk berhari raya bersama mereka,” katanya sambil mengukir senyuman manis.

Background
Awang Hasmadi, a Malaysian citizen, was born in Kuching, Sarawak, in 1952. After attending high schools in Sri Aman, Sibu and Miri, he was awarded a Sarawak Foundation scholarship that allowed him to join Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 1973, as an undergraduate majoring in Anthropology and Sociology.
For his graduation exercise Hasmadi conducted fieldwork among the Salako Dayaks of Lundu District, southwestern Sarawak, writing up his Malay-language report “Salako Adat” under the supervision of Hood M. Salleh. Awang Hasmadi graduated in 1977 and was awarded the book prize for best student in anthropology and sociology.
Shortly after graduation, Awang Hasmadi was accepted into Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s “Academic Staff Training programme” and was appointed as a tutor in the Anthropology and Sociology Department. He began his M.A. programme in 1977 and from April to November 1978 continued his field research on the Selako, using his findings for his Malay-language M.A. thesis (also under Hood’s guidance), “Adat dan Ugama Selako”, which was accepted for the M.A, degree in 1980.
In 1984 Awang Hasmadi left for Cambridge University, with dual sponsorship by Malaysia’s Public Service Department and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Here he enrolled in the Ph.D. programme, with Sir Edmund Leach and then Simon Strickland as his advisers. As part of his programme, Awang Hasmadi returned to Lundu District, southwestern Sarawak, to further his knowledge of Selako ritual practices. His research was funded this time by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and by a grant from the Cambridge University-administered “Smuts Memorial Fund”. His thesis, “Selako Worldview and Rituals: was accepted for the Ph.D. degree in 1992.
Awang Hasmadi was on the faculty of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for more than twenty years, during which he rose from tutor (1977-79) to lecturer (1980-99), and associate professor (1999-2007). He was head of the University’s Anthropology and Sociology programme from 2004 to 2007.
In addition to his service to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Awang Hasmadi has held research fellowships at the Senri Ethnological Museum in Osaka, Japan (1991), and at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore (1994). For a little over two-and-a-half years (1999-2002), he was Visiting Professor in the “Area Studies Program”, University of Tsukubu, Japan, where he taught various courses on Southeast Asian themes, while also researching the state of Islam in Japan under the University of Tsukuba’s “Foreign Professor Research Project” (2001-02).

Awang Hasmadi joined UBD as a Visiting Associate Professor in 2007.
Research
Hasmadi is especially interested in the anthropological study of rituals and how they may be employed as expression, reaffirmation and maintenance of ethnic identity and power. His principal research area is in the southwestern area of Sarawak and adjacent parts of Kalimantan, where he studies the dynamic and symbiotic relationships between Selako and Lara Dayaks, as well as the relationship between both these Dayak groups and the coastal Malay people of Lundu District.
He is equally interested in the construction of ethnic identities among the two Dayak groups and in the redefinititon of the concept of “Melayu” among the coastal Malays. In addition, Hasmadi has a growing, although supplementary, research interest in Indonesian-Malaysias relations and in Islam in Japan.
