Our nation is celebrating its 50 years of independence comes this 31 August. This year, Petronas ad on commemorating this big occasion is to portray an old sampan builder called Man who wanted to quit his job and become a security guard to repay Tuan Haji, another guy in the ad. Instead of letting Man quit his job, Tuan Haji asked Man to build a new sampan for him in lieu of the debt.
Man accepted the offer and started to build the sampan day in and day out, even in a rainy day. Finally, when he about to deliver his finished product, Tuan Haji brought an engine and mentioned to Man that the new sampan is a gift from him. Tuan Haji foresees the water transport will be in great demand in that area, so the new sampan will be a boon to Man.
Just when Man about to take his sampan to the water, he discovered that the sampan had already submerged in the water. Then, the Petronas tag line reads "Can what we build today take us into tomorrow?" Good question, isn't it?
The analogy is so simple. Just imagine Malaysia is that little sampan that Man had built. It had already submerged in the water! Way to go Petronas! At least you've got the guts to show us the real picture of Malaysia in the future.
