Rajkumar Kanagasingam

Wrote the original screenplay(registered with the Writers Guild of America) of "Prince of Malacca", a detective sci-fi & fantasy film with Southeast Asian medieval historical events.

The story is moving around a Wall Street billionaire hedge fund manager.

The hedge fund manager, after seeking nadi astrology in India, is getting into a double deal by becoming a CIA’s intelligence officer with a special directive from the President of the United States of America to detect a drug cartel in Southeast Asia, in an exchange for using space and satellite technology to locate an island in the Strait of Malacca where in a tribal community his lover of previous birth is born as a beautiful dancer. According to astrology, when he was a prince and admiral in the Kingdom of Malacca in 1411 A.D., she was a daughter of a Javanese prince and the administrator of Singapura(present day Singapore), a province under the Kingdom of Majapahit based in Java.

It is told in the astrology that their untimely death in the previous birth is passing onto the current birth and by getting married to her only he could be saved from the forthcoming trouble.

After being practiced mantras in the Himalayas under a sage, he is acquiring the power of controlling others’ thoughts and actions even from remotely and the power of teleportation where he could shift him between two locations without crossing the physical space. He is using those powers and the latest satellite technology to locate the island and then rescue her in a deadly battle with billionaire drug lord who is in lust with her.

Authored the book: German Memories in Asia ................ISBN: 1-434-31582-7

German Memories in Asia is a collection of my memories in my association with the German university students, who have been volunteering in Asia under an internship program.
It narrates the fascinating early human migration from Africa to the rest of the world and the sensitive issues of Asian and European historical events, especially the German, since the Roman Empire era and about the Germans in Germany, Latin America, North America, East European countries, Australia and elsewhere in the world and their migrations, life styles, encounters and assimilation since ancient times.
It analyses the Franco-Prussian War and the Otto von Bismarck's diplomacy, Austria & the divided German states, German-Brazilians today, the Pennsylvania's Amish County & the Mennonite communities, the German colonies in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Volga Germans in Russia under Bolshevist atrocities and the First and Second World War issues of Kaiser William II and his diplomatic chaos, Firebombing on Dresden, Danube Swabians and their expulsion, the U.S. President Gen. Dwight D Eisenhower in the crisis of starving German POWs and more.
It explores my encounters in my early days in the war-ravaged Jaffna Peninsula in the northern part of the Indian Ocean's war-torn island and then as an officer in an American NGO in the jungles under the control of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and then in a tsunami relief mission there with German students.
It reveals my experience in my early days in the Dutch Fort of Jaffna, a superior Fortress, probably the strongest fortification in Asia recalling the memories of Portuguese and Dutch era Jaffna.
The book is a memorable testimony for German students' life and fashion in Asia at their residency at the Aquarius Resorts in Marawila, a sleepy western coastal town of Sri Lanka facing the scenic Indian Ocean!
