Bet you’ve seen this one on TV. (Excluding you non Malaysian residents la)
I can only say one thing about this ad. F*ck la! Oops, that’s two words.
Why?
Because this freaking ad made me cry while folding the clothes with my sister! Omaigod lah… why, why, WHY would they “kill” the father before he could even see his son become a pilot? Why? Freaking WHY?!!! Give lah the “macha” chance a bit!
The fact that my family laughed at me crying adds salt to the wound. Mom even said, “Aiya, the father worked too hard, that’s why die early loh..”
Seriously, why make a tear-jerking ad like that? What’s the point? This is Deepavali. At least make an ad that shows some LIGHT, happiness. Wouldn’t it be better for the father to see his son finally “owns a plane”???
F*ck la. Am still pissed. Hit you Petronas people with the golf shoes then you know!

Haish.. I cried also when I saw this the first time
PS: The “Macha” doesnt even look very Indian in the first place hehe.
Eh, now that you mentioned… ya la, the “Macha” looks a bit Eurasian or Portuguese..

This ad really made me tear up lah… but I guess Petronas has to live up to their reputation of making people cry with their ads. hahaha.
Ya bah, I think ALL of their ads are tear-jerking ones..
Feel like saying something? Say lah.. :P
