Malaysia Prihatin

Today is Merdeka! Today, Malaysia turns sixty-four. 

And this year’s theme is the same as last year – Malaysia Prihatin – and it summons Malaysians to continue to care for each other as the country battles Covid-19. 

I thought I’ll share 3 of my favorite Merdeka 2021 videos. 

Teladan: DiGi's tear-jerker of a video shows the perspectives of primary school children who witness their parents' struggles and perseverance.

 

Lockdown Blues: Yoodo's "Bila Larut Lockdown" tells the hilarious yet heartwarming story of a man who realises his imagination is running wild when he begins to talk to his perabot.

 

#KitaJagaKita: Based on a true story, this short film “Ahchoo” by Etiqa showcases neighbors who find heartwarming ways to keep in touch with one another while staying at home.

 

Happy Merdeka, everybody!

Aidilfitri and Assumptions

Salam Aidil Fitri and Maaf Zahir Batin!

DiGi videos are really something, really special – this clip "Andaian" (Assumptions) is for this year's Raya:

Lunar New Year 2021 Greetings From the Heart

Happy Lunar New Year, everybody!

My CNY video choice this year: 

DiGi and Play Safe

Yesterday was the last day for the MKT1014 presentations and one Tutorial 3 group (i.e. Lee Juhn Xiarn, Lim Wan Yuen & Lim Su Hoay) did DiGi.

Of course it would not be complete without showing video clips of DiGi’s memorable commercials – one of which is shown below:


And another presentation from another group (i.e. Ng Shi Min, Lim Ru Yuan & Lee Jing Yee) did ‘Play Safe’ – their first PowerPoint slide even showed me in my Supergirl costume!

In case you didn’t know, ‘Play Safe’ is a brand of condoms from Takaso Rubber Products.

I was in KL for the Metro Toastmasters meeting last evening and I took up the role of timekeeper. Eight members and nine guests (including the General Evaluator, i.e. Cyril Jonas and I) ensured this was a vibrant meeting and I was glad I came because I personally had a good time. But it is vexing to note that those members who attended were all “senior” members. Anyway, I would give this meeting a score of 6.5 out of a 10.
