Merdeka Musings 3

When a fellow Malaysian does well, we are all proud of his or her success. Many of our countrymen and women have done well, in the sporting arena, in humanitarian work, in the entertainment world, the list goes on.

We are proud as a nation when one of us is recognised internationally for a job well done. The entertainment industry gets tremendous press, and our very own Michelle Yeoh is a household name throughout the world. We admire her for all her achievements but above all, we admire her for always calling Malaysia home.

Here are some of her interviews and an ad for Tourism Malaysia :

Malaysia Truly Asia

I met this Canadian family while on holiday in Turkey earlier this year. When I said that I was from Malaysia, their first response was to sing the ending of our tourism ad jingle, the part that goes 'Malaysia, truly Asia'.

It goes to show that the 'Malaysia, Truly Asia' ad has certainly reached many shores. I feel pride whenever it airs, whether on TV or onboard a Malaysia Airlines flight.

Despite the challenges that we may face as a country, I have faith whenever I watch this video.
