Petronas is our government oil company. Since the late 1990s, they have the tradition of making special TV advertisements for each of the festive seasons that are celebrated in Malaysia annually. They have done ads for Merdeka Day (Malaysia Independence Day), Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Deepavali. All the ads were very good and I was always moved to tears by those special ads.
I ripped this ad from Youtube as the Petronas archive site have yet to put the downloadable version. This is the 2007 TV Ad for Chinese New Year. I first saw this Ad during the CNY holidays – in Astro and I was immediately moved to tears. The ad featured a tie-in with Guang Liang’s Yue Ding song. Guang Liang is a very popular Malaysian singer who is also a well known singer-composer in the Mandarin Pop world. He is currently our Tourism Ambassador.
