Another great TVC from Petronas. Every year on all occasions celebrated by Malaysian, Petronas never failed to produce great TVC. I believe this one also another brainchild of Yasmin Ahmad. All of them are so meaningful, delivered in a very creative, touching, easy to understand and normally have impact on the viewer.

This TVC is about one lazy guy building a boat for his friend of which he owes money. Despite his friend Haji promise to settle his debt by building the boat for him, the output from his work still not good, instead try to cheat by using old boat frame at a lot of patches. In the end, Haji gave the boat and the engine to him to help him and he does not even have to pay. But alas, the boat already sinking.

The main message is “Can what we build today take us into tomorrow?”, the other message that got my attention is from dialog, “Sekarang kamu dah bebas Man, Tak payah bergantung pada sapa-sapa”. What we build today, should take us into tomorrow and, we should not rely on to ‘help’ forever. However, Kudos to Pak Man and Pak Haji, their acting if far better than most Malaysian actor. They should win best actor and best support actor award of the year.
