Merdeka Day 2013 for Malaysia

Malaysia will be celebrating its 56th Independence Day on 31st August 2013. Merdeka means independent in Malay Language. What I am showing you below, is a special advertisement by PETRONAS, the Malaysian National Oil Company. PETRONAS has always been known to make remarkable heart-wrenching advertisements every year in almost every festivals or celebration.

The advertisement is very, very much about the rich diversity of Malaysians and their ways of life. Malays constitute of about 65% of the population, Chinese about 35%, Indians and other indigenous people in Borneo mostly, make up the rest of the percentage.

You gotta visit a kampung to appreciate the many kampung scenes in this video... no, I'm really serious! Enjoy, people~

Snapshots of OH! My Kampung Experience Tour

Keeping our Kampung experience REAL

Keeping our experiences REAL (Recreational, Educational, Adventurous, & just LOADS of fun), these two siblings from Egypt cannot be happier to be able to spend their time in the kampung.

Not only the learn how to fish and get to know its name, they are adventurous enough to cycle around the kampung too! These kids are so adorable and playful. Hagar (the girl), spent the day learning how to play congkak, a traditional Malay game as well. By end of the tour, she was already an expert!
