10 memorable Hari Raya ads on YouTube

Some of the most memorable TV ads are the ones produced for the festive season.

For this Hari Raya Puasa, we asked our Muslim colleagues to list the ones that left an indelible mark in their memories and hearts. Here’s what we got.

See if you remember any of these Hari Raya ads:

1

Proton’s Road Safety Campaign
Horror and humour make this PSA for Raya a stand-out.

2

An Act of Kindness on May 13
Using one of the most tragic points in the nation’s history – the May 13, 1969 incident – as its setting, this Petronas Kongsi Raya (Hari Raya Puasa and CNY) ad shines through for simply highlighting a simple truth: that “the two worlds were never apart”.

3

EON’s catchy tune
The quality of this clip is rather poor, but no matter, because this Raya ad is remembered not for its visuals but more for its evergreen tune. Give it a listen.

4

Burung Murai
Hari Raya Puasa is a time to remember loved ones who have passed; a time for family; a time to ask for forgiveness and forget past transgressions; and a time to show filial piety. This ad highlights them all.

5

Lonely Dad
An ad that tugs at your heartstrings to remind you of your “duties” as a son/daughter.

6

Priceless Advice
Like many of the late filmmaker Yasmin Ahmad’s ads (a few of which you’ll find on this list), this one resonates long after you’ve watched it: A moment in the present can remind you of the past, of lessons taught, learned and forever remembered.

7

Work can wait
A chance meeting with a loving father reminds a young man of what’s really important.

8

Forgiving
“Why is it so hard to ask for forgiveness from the people you love most?”

9

Your family is my family for life
In multiethnic Malaysia, interracial marriage is not uncommon. This Maxis ad cleverly uses that little fact to amplify its message.

10

What goes around comes around
The lesson: How you treat your parents today is how you will be treated by your children tomorrow.

Didn’t find your favourite Raya ad in the list above? Well, share them with us here by embedding your video below.

Mizz Nina @ Mystical Eve

December 15, 2011 at 2:40 pm

She needs no introduction to most, her music and her fame is undeniable. Although she has garnered a bit of controversy, but then again, every successful celebrity always does, Mizz Nina remains one of Malaysia’s hottest and coolest female performers in recent years. Her collaboration with Colby O’Donis marked her breakthrough into the global mainstream consciousness, and she has not looked back since.

Join her at Mystical Eve 2012 @ ENCORP Strand this 31st December!

Her debut solo album What You Waiting For, released in July 2010, manifests Mizz Nina’s cool confidence in her newfound vocation as a singer. Sung in English and Malay, the longplayer is a pleasure dome of beguiling beats, innovative melodies and top-notch production, and contains local and international collaborations from the likes of Uno and AJ of Pop Shuvit, Noh from Hujan, DJ Fuzz, Koko and Syaheed of Bedsty Music, Sakke from the Netherlands and Koolade from Croatia to MC Dandee from Bangkok’s Thaitanium Entertainment, Mawar Berduri from Ahli Fiqir, Teeflii and Grammy nominee Planet Asia.

Working with illustrious names in the biz comes as second nature for Mizz Nina, having already sealed liaisons with prominent acts like Too Phat, Reshmonu and Gerhana Ska Cinta throughout her career. But it was the title track and first single from the album that became Mizz Nina’s winning ticket to mass appeal; partnering up with Colby O’Donis, the catchy pop ditty secured strong spots on local music charts. Additionally, the song received regular spins on LA-based radio station 102.3 KJLH while the official video (directed by Scott McCullough and shot in LA) exceeded one million views on YouTube just mere months after its release in March.

Fans of Mizz Nina, don’t miss out on this opportunity to catch her live at Mystical Eve 2012!

Currently shuffling between her full-time role as the Managing Director of The Singing Shop–where her musical education began–and her innate craft as a singer, entertainer and, most recently, mix DJ (a skill she picked up from her TTC ally DJ Fuzz) to running her own recording studio, Mizz Nina has acquired a steady footing in both the Malaysian indie and underground scenes as well as maintained within arm’s reach of the glam and glitz of KL’s city limits–showing her finesse for fitting into any situation presented to her.

Catch Mizz Nina performing at Mystical Eve 2012 @ ENCORP Strand’s New Year’s Countdown party this 31st December 2011. The party will begin at 6 pm and only end at 2 am as we usher in 2012. So put on your party hats and make your way to ENCORP Strand for Mystical Eve 2012!

Ramadan Television Ad Issue

August 19, 2011 at 4:10 pm

We are nearing the end of this year’s Ramadan month, and those who have been observing this holy Muslim month are anticipating Hari Raya. Like every other year, Ramadan in Malaysia is marked by a number of activities – fasting, the Ramadan bazaars, the daily prayers, and Kampung Baru’s bubur lambuk. This year’s Ramadan, however, will always be a bit more unique all because of an incident that occurred at the start of this holy month. Ramadan and Hari Raya is a big thing for Malaysians in general, quite akin to Christmas for Americans, so corporations will usually prepare special ads to mark these two occasions. Some of these ads have been well received by Malaysians as they struck a chord in the society’s psyche.

This year though, we feel that one particular media entity’s ‘public service reminders’ form a perfect example to illustrate how relevant a holy month actually is for the entire human race. Ramadan is dedicated to contemplation and prayer, in hopes that humanity will focus on constructive and communal efforts instead of thinking of ways and reasons to butcher one another. We feel that this is actually a good thing, as it actually promotes thought and a greater understanding, which in time will lead to wisdom and enlightenment, as opposed to foolish efforts that gain nothing but the scorn of your own community, not to mention public ridicule worldwide, thanks to the invention of the Internet and YouTube.

So it is with a touch of sarcasm and in the spirit of service that we highlight this entire episode. We do this not because we are outraged or want to court controversy, but because we feel we learn from our mistakes, or better yet, others’ mistakes. If we seek to cover up our mistakes, then we will never learn nor progress, which we feel, is are the values that Ramadan promotes.

Like it or not, this ad issue, for better or worse, has become something the world remembers about Malaysia. Let us all hope that with the passing of this year’s Ramadan, everyone of us has gained at least a bit of understanding and wisdom from this and that the next time the world hears about Malaysia, it will not be about an ill-conceived series of ads.

Oh yes, and let us also hope next year’s Ramadan and Hari Raya ads are less controversial and as equally, if not, more entertaining. Although the ads are no longer available for viewing in YouTube, a news story about the entire thing is available. Feel free to watch it and learn from someone else’s mistake.
