the video

out of the hundred video clips
produced by various entities for various purposes
one of my favourite videos with Merdeka theme
will be the above - The Kasut Gombak Video

it was first aired in late 90s i think
in both Malay and English language
was one of the many infamous creation of Yasmin Ahmad

the reasons why i like this video in particular;
because it reminded me to be proud and not less superior
in buying / consuming any Made-in-Malaysia products
and also because i had experienced about the same occurrence
as what had been potrayed in the video

i.e. back in year 1990
i was on this mini-bus No. 15,
heading to Taman Melati, Gombak
wearing this locally-made Lee Rubber sports shoes
and this girl was giving me 'that' look
while staring up and down at my shoes and me
and then giggled with her other friends
something to do with other brand of kasut
Pallas Jazz, Fong Keong and the likes

well.. that's then..
pahit masa melaluinya dulu
manis bila dikenang kini
;) hehe...
