Petronas 2012 Chinese New Year “Coming Home” TVC & Reimagining Energy Photography Contest


Chinese New Year is so near, two more days… I am Coming Home, so excited and counting my days to balik kampung. In my mind, thinking all about my families, my hometown friends, the goodies that I want to bring home to share with them and of course… the most important Reunion Dinner.

On 17th Jan, Petronas unveiled it’s much anticipated yearly TV Commercial for Chinese New Year "Coming Home" to usher the year of the Golden Dragon at the Petronas Gallery.


Titled Coming Home, the TVC this year depicts six separate yet intertwining stories of individuals around the world, who, no matter how far they have come in life, stay true to their roots and tradition. The TVC was shot in few locations in Malaysia, England, Belgium, China and India. 

Opening & Welcome Speech by Dato Mohammad Medan Abdullah, Petronas Senior General Manager of Group Corporate Affairs Division 

“The TVC is meant to celebrate not just the Year of the Dragon, but the spirit of perseverance, adaptability and determination as captured in each of the stories it depicts.    This energy is something that should inspire us all as we navigate through the challenges we face in life,” said PETRONAS’ Senior General Manager of Group Corporate Affairs Division Dato Mohammad Medan Abdullah.

“It is this innate spirit of resilience, energy to see opportunity, energy to go on, improve and move on while staying true to our values that we wanted to portray in our TVC. It is this same spirit that forms the core of PETRONAS’ corporate positioning, Reimagining Energy which emphasises and celebrates the resilience of the human spirit to excel in whatever we do. ” he added, speaking at a special media preview of the TVC.

After the speech by Dato Mohammad Medan and viewing Petronas heart warming 2012 Chinese New Year "Coming Home" TVC, all the guests and media proceed to the Yee Sang tossing ceremony...

Look at the struggle that each individual goes through in life and how they adapt to the changing times, turning challenges into opportunities, and always seeing the positive in the negative – powerful universal messages that transcend cultural, generational, creed and ethnicity barriers.
