4.5 Syukur Raya (2021)

4.5.1 Storyline

It is a story of kindness and gratitude that is told in an entertaining way. Syukur Raya is
narrated in the form of a song by a tekukur bird named Syuk-kur, a combination of the
names ‘syukur’ and ‘tekukur’. The bird is a witness to everything that happens in Taman
Bawang, which is the neighborhood in this Webfilm. It tells the story of its main character,
Poji who misses his hometown and is unable to return home due to work commitments so
he imagines his fierce neighbor, Mak Jah as his own mother. Having to sacrifice the
celebration without the family due to work commitments, Poji and his housemates 'had to'
be grateful for the lackluster response. This changed when Mak Jah made a surprise by
sharing the rendang she cooked, and the matter changed into a nature of togetherness in
society. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic season, Mak Jah sent rendang to the neighbors by
keeping a distance and not in contact.

4.5.2 The characters in Syukur Raya

The main character in Syukur Raya is Poji who works as a Joom Mamam rider. Poji lives
in the neighborhood and lives next door to a fierce but loving old woman named Mak Jah.

advertisement, there is a ‘tekukur’ bird named Syuk-kur who is also one of the main
characters. Syuk-kur witnessed all that was happening in the neighborhood and told the
story of what happened with a song. The side characters are Poji's friends who live in the
same house as him. Poji's friends are also Rider Joom Mamam. Next, the kind-hearted Poji
