PETALING JAYA: With Merdeka Day and Malaysia Day approaching, Axiata Group Berhad and Celcom Axiata Berhad, as well as Petronas, have produced short films to commemorate the occasion.
The short film by Axiata and Celcom is entitled"Getaran Pertama", which depicts the story of the first choir to sing Negaraku on Aug 31,1957.
It sees how Radio Malaya music supervisor Tan Sri Ahmad Merican and music conductor Tony Fonseka searched high and low to assemble a group of Malaysians to perform the national anthem. The video briefly showcased the struggles of gathering the perfect choir for the first time before the first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj at Stadium Merdeka.
The video, which was uploaded onto Axiata's Facebook page on Tuesday, was viewed over 50,000 times at press time. It also received over 250 Likes and shared over 200 times."Thank you Axiata and team for the long-awaited recognition. I'm very sure my humble grandfather is happy that his work was put to good use," he commented on Facebook."Plus, it features a choir made up of Malaysians from all walks of life.
He would then clash with university mate, Ridzwan Salleh, and they would later learn to put aside their differences and work together. The video ends with the tagline"Perbezaan kita menyatukan kita, perbezaan kita anugerah kita." .To read the full story and other premium content
