Petronas Planting Tomorrow, I Art You Malaysia and the Strangers. Happy Malaysia Day 2012

For a Stranger in foreign land Adaptation and Assimilation is the key for harmonization living. However not matter how far we are or how green the grass out there,

Home Is Where The Heart Is…

Strangers

Petronas 2012 TVC

As I watched Petronas’ Strangers video via youtube for many times and try to understand plus relate it to our daily live. I began to see and realized something

beyond the video, the message…

Adaptation and Assimilation;

The essential key to harmonization;

Be it in any situation, country or cultures;

When we see things through other people’s eyes;

We began to understand their reasons, cultures and uniqueness;

Helping others to improve and achieve their dreams;

Is a self fulfillment and indeed a lifetime reminisces;

Because life is beautiful and full of flavours;

From Stangers can become close friends;

Nothing is impossible the first step of change comes from within

For this 2012 Hari Raya, National Day and Malaysia Day, PETRONAS seeks to tell a bigger, slightly different story. Its about Petronas employees and the challenges they endure as they serve their company and nation via a debut web film.

Entitled Strangers, here are some brief about the film, it focuses on its main character Erman, a young PETRONAS engineer based in Central Asia. His story begins when he is unable to return home to spend Hari Raya with his family, but his true journey begins when his path crosses that of a local boy, Jeyhun.

Not merely about exploration and adventure, the film is also about a journey of self-discovery. Every step of the way brings Erman closer to realising his true potential, reimagining his energy to contribute to the world he lives in, and discovering his inner strength to make a difference to those around him.

Said Dato Mohammad Medan Abdullah, Senior General Manager, Group Corporate Affairs Division of PETRONAS: “This festive season, we want to pay tribute to all who are out there serving our beloved nation – especially our own staff. Despite the challenges they face, they adapt quickly to the environment they are in and take everything in their stride. That’s the spirit that should be nurtured, admired, celebrated and emulated.

“As human beings, sometimes we do not realise the good thing that we have until it is taken away from us. In this instance, it’s only when we live in another country that we realise just how wonderful our own country is. It’s also about self-discovery, of realising what really matters in life, and about what we have and can offer to others.”

In addition to the web film, PETRONAS has also lined up a series of other programmes to bring Malaysians from all walks of life together to celebrate the three occasions. Among the activities include:

Petronas Planting Tomorrow: I ART You Malaysia

Art has the power to bring people closer together, and Galeri PETRONAS has exactly that in mind. In conjunction with Merdeka and Malaysia Day, about 200 school children from all over Melaka and Sarawak came together to illustrate what they love best about the country. These works of art is then transformed into a large mural in front of KLCC. Follow Lez Ann as she goes around collecting the paintings from excited young children.
