There is no doubt that Malaysia is a multicultural country
Living amongst various ethnicities has made it possible for Malaysians to assimilate each other's cultures, from the clothes we wear to the food we eat on a daily basis.
To celebrate Hari Kebangsaan and Malaysia Day, Perodua has come up with an ad titled Di Mana Saja, Kita Satu Keluarga.
Watch it below:
Throughout the video, Malaysians can be seen living their lives, all while carrying out unique idiosyncrasies that we all can relate to. It showcases these mannerisms in various situations, such as haggling prices with sellers, using 'bah' when speaking to other Malaysians, accidentally calling the waiter 'boss' when overseas, and more.
So relatable, kan? ;)
It is not just one thing that makes us Malaysians, it is all the small habits and unique mannerisms that set us apart
From the way Malaysians use "the hand" to catch a waitress' attention whilst at a restaurant or mamak stall, to the way we add local condiments to our meals regardless of where we are, these are the things that make it easy to recognise Malaysians anywhere.
As food is a unifying factor for Malaysians, sharing the love for iconic food items such as durian is something that we can relate all to as well.
No matter where we may be, Malaysians will always carry this uniqueness with us.
In a nutshell, the heartwarming and relatable short film just goes to show that these idiosyncrasies are a testament to our harmony in diversity
Having this familiarity or solidarity creates a sense of belonging, which creates a family-like bond amongst Malaysians.
Ultimately, Perodua believes that this bond makes us stronger together, and prepares us to take on any challenges that come our way.
