Dear friends,
In conjunction with Malaysia's 48th
independence, Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has done a commercial dedicated to
teachers. Since Tunku Abdul Rahman our first Prime Minister made the
announcement of our impending independence at Kirkby in February 1956 the
commercial was centred around Kirkby and Kirkbyites. Eleven Kirkbyites
were invited to participate, 2 from the 2nd batch, 3 from the 3rd
batch and 6 from the 4th batch. The commercial was rather cleverly done
(blending still photos and studio as well as outdoor film
clips).
For your information, the clip showing
students playing with snaow and snowman was done at the Selangor Club field
using bags of salt. The snowman was made of plaster of Paris. Those
of you residing in Malaysia would have seen the commercial which has been aired
in Malay, English and Chinese over all TV networks several times a day starting
from 25 August. I am writing this short description for the benefit of
those who are residing overseas. I have managed to upload the
commercial. Please note, the captions at the beginning and at the end of
the commercial were added by me in my mini studio. Hope you can view
it. Kind regards.
Zainal
