V1 English - PETRONAS Chinese New Year TVC 2012 "Coming Home"

[applecorestory]

Eh... but if u keep comparing any commercial on tv with Yasmin Ahmad's than I dun think you will be able to enjoy any commercials wor?

[channelsking]

i love Petronas ad before because Yasmin Ahmad, now Yasmin's style show at Bernas ad.

[TheCindychanchan]

When Yasmin was around, I keep hearing ppl say," why so boring one, every year so sad one." Then they will say things like " i miss marlboro CNY ad, more action one". Wait till Yasmin is gone, they start missing Yasmin.

[caredlyn]

A nice,new approach to the "season greetings"that most of us are used to with Yasmin's stuff. Definitely different, and in a good way... Message is sent across well with beautiful visuals.

[superbouncykid]

I have seen Yasmin's video, very very powerful indeed... A rare talent. Hence why so many negative comments here. But because Yasmin's work is so touching and incredible, it is normal that the new video won't have the same punch. However, I watch this 2012 video without pre-knowledge of Yasmin and I enjoy the message. For me that is a good way to watch it. Don't ask for a second Yasmin. Respect and remember what is gone but be open for the new. Honour Yasmin by supporting what she supported.

i watched twice but still not touching. GREATINGS BY YASMIN IS MORE MEANINGFUL AND TOUCHING.......SINCERELY

[ngochun]

hmmm... the background song sounds familiar....

[PakToLogy]

I'm in favour of local goods but this just now looked & feel like Malaysian.

Just too generic...

If you take out Petronas logo, it can be from any advertiser.

Dont' wanna spoil the fun la, not as meaningful as past years'. Maybe it's just me stereotyping Yasmin Ahmad's is better.

[briangia11]

awesome super.....many likes ...congratulations and happy Chinese new year to all

Having lived away from home in overseas for 3 years, I love this ad's message so much. Perhaps is the execution in terms of catching attention is not as strong. 48 seconds is not enough to bring out the 'touchingness' of it.

[viscousfinger]

@momojojojojo this is the full version of it; 152 seconds

[myadlan]

yeah. we got Chinese people all over the world. that's the message. hmm?

[viNcee1987]

this is quite a let down considering last year's ad was quite good... but at least it's not controversial or something lol

[TheRiennaC]

There is no "ummph" in it. They should not try to copy Yasmin's style. Somehow, she always managed to deliver the message thru with hers. May she rest in peace.

[chuaweecheak]

@wizardry100, cos Yasmin Ahmad is no longer there to put her magical touch. Her works were the best for Petronas then.

[wizardry100]

Sorry,but I think this is the worst ad among all the ads I've seen from PETRONAS so far, it's kinda disappointing because I always feel the message you are trying to get across, the feeling of home,family and friends.But this ad left me with no reaction whatsoever..I'm just being honest

[nickkhaw]

Chinese New Year >>> Globalisation.
