Petronas National Day TVad

Oh yes! finally I found the video online!

The first time I saw this national day advertisement by Petronas on TV3, I was struck by the message that it wants to convey. The meaning finally dawned on me after my mind went blank for a while. Oh my... What struck me most is the strength of the message that it wants to convey. It will hit people direct at their heart, esp Malaysians. Especially Malaysians with the same condition... well I shall not state too deliberately here what condition is that in case I got sued. haha... Well... siapa yang makan cili, dia yang terasa pedasnya.

My experiement on a Malaysian and a Singaporean colleague proved interesting. After I've pointed out the advertisement to them and explained the meaning of the narration, my colleague, who is a Malaysian went ahh....(got it!) while my Singaporean colleague wasn't so sure what it means.

I'm not trying to see who is smarter here; it is more because we Malaysians shared the same background, the same 'culture' and almost the same kind of 'upbringing', with about the same sentiments, if we are of the same condition. This common understanding enabled us to instantly know the deeper meaning of the advertisement.

I would want to tell the whole story of the commercial here, but it will spoil the suspense for you. So I shall keep the suspense and let you watch it for yourself.

Catch this meaningful commercial here Petronas National Day TVAd and feel free to share your feelings about it.

**Oh wow! really have to thank my colleague for pointing out to me where to get this commercial. Been searching for it online but can't find it, not even on YouTube.com. Initially wanted to post the video clip here for all to enjoy.

*** Happy 49th National Day my dear Country Malaysia! :D I will be flying the national flag in my room hehehehe :P Dunno what trouble public display of patriotism for my country in a foreign country would cause me...:)
