Maxis celebrates diversity of all Malaysians with its #100peratusMalaysia campaign in conjunction with National Day. The campaign, depicted in the form of a short film, was done in collaboration with eclectic Malaysian personalities.
Strength in diversity
The short film drives the message of acknowledging and understanding of our unique differences, in which makes us stronger and better as a nation. By harnessing technology, the Malaysian personalities were taken through a journey of self-discovery. They dug deeper into their identities and origins through DNA testing. While results revealed that they had links to various geographical locations around the world, there was one compelling truth—that they are all #100peratusMalaysia.
“The premise of our National Day campaign was using technology to not only understand our unique differences in a new light, but also acknowledge that our diversity is what makes us stronger and enables us to achieve great things. The more we know ourselves, the more we realise that our differences tell the story of who we are as Malaysians. At the end of the day, our love for Malaysia, our homeland, is what unites us, and we hope that this campaign will raise the spirits of Malaysians everywhere.”
Tai Kam Leong, Maxis’ Head of Brand and Marketing.
