A group of Malaysian artistes got together one fine day and made an anti -racism song and music video.
Pete was juggling tomatoes and was getting bored. So he telephoned a few friends instead: "how about getting together to make an anti-racism song and music video?" Al said yes without hesitation. Not because Pete threatened them with a rusty knife. Only because they love Malaysia.
The contingent swelled to 52 people a few days later. It included filmmakers, dancers, singers, producers. musicians, actors, entrepreneurs, designers, footballers, activists, celebrities, students and a florist. Nobody would be paid. Yet they were enthused. not because they were high on speed. Only because they love Malaysia.
They gathered to record the song. It had a catchy chorus and was able to induce a mass sing-along. everyone was happy when it was done. They named it 'Here In My Home'. Then more people joined. The party now included more than 120 people. But the budget remained exactly zero. It seems even the spreadsheet loves malaysia.
Everyone turned up for the video shoot. Much fun was had and friendships made. Video editors went to work after the shoot was done. Both the recording and the video would be given away for free. A gift to the nation. From those who love malaysia to those who feel the same.
Did you ask what this is all about?
It's about love.
Malaysiakini.tv feels that this is a beautiful project and really reflects what a majority of Malaysians feel and want -- released from the shackles of racism. We congratulate the 52 people who created this project.
