The film has resonated so deeply with Malaysians that it went viral, racking up over eight million views in just two weeks. 

With a vibrant mix of animation and live-action, this heart-pounding, visually stunning film showcases real-life stories of individuals from various walks of life as they confront their fears and push through their doubts.

With every frame, it vividly portrays the essence of resilience and the sheer willpower needed to achieve your dreams

Spotlighting incredible figures like legendary cyclist Dato' Azizulhasni Awang, squash sensation Sivasangari Subramaniam, and innovative entrepreneur Azzim Zahid Azmi, the film showcases their remarkable journeys of overcoming obstacles and defying the odds.

Despite facing a life-threatening heart condition, Dato' Azizulhasni Awang underwent surgery and came back stronger, winning championships and becoming the first Malaysian to participate in five Olympic Games. Sivasangari, just a year after recovering from a devastating car accident that nearly ended her career, defied all expectations by defeating World No. 1, Nour El Sherbini, to claim the 2024 London Classic title. And Azzim, who discovered his passion for business at 16 by selling T-shirts to classmates, has since built a successful clothing brand by the age of 26.

Their stories serve as a testament to the KITA BAGI JADI spirit — something that you can achieve too!

So, when you're faced with uncertainty and the path ahead seems daunting, remember the motto, "KITA BAGI JADI!"

This short film by CIMB was created to inspire you to push through, embrace the challenges, and never stop chasing your dreams.

CIMB's KITA BAGI JADI movement aims to encourage all Malaysians to embody the nation's resilient "never give up" spirit and make things happen, no matter the obstacles.
