Malaysian Artistes For Unity

Last Friday I was listening to Hitz.fm when I heard about this thing. I immediately surf the web site n listen to the song. The song was superb and I'm so proud of it.A big applause to all of them.How it has began? here's the story..



pete was juggling tomatoes.
bored. so he telephoned a few friends instead. “how about getting together to make an anti-racism song and music video?” all 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.

So,as the citizen of Malaysia, I would like to invite all blogger to start downloading this song and pass it to your friends, to your friend's friends and everybody else...
