TV Movie ~ Fighting The Odds ~ Marilyn Gambrell Story:
Saw this whilst on holiday in Malacca, Malaysia at Holiday Inn. Based on a true story, former parole officer Marilyn Gambrell and a colleague set up a pioneer trial-based program in one of America's toughest high schools to help the children of incarcerated parents regain control of their own lives and not expect the same thing to happen as it did to their parents. To the surprise of everyone, the program works, but the administration warns the duo that it will not last unless every senior student is able to pass his or her final exams and graduate with the class. As the end of the school year approaches, Marilyn Gambrell (Jami Gertz) faces a crisis to save everything she believes in or lose it all.

Malacca ~ Air Keroh (Ayer Keroh) ~ Troubled Waters:
While talking to my collegues about my trip, I was told that if I get lost, going to a town called Ayer Keroh will help coz it's central.
