Brief

Sarawak is rich in traditions, but in this wave of gentrification, Sarawak is suffering the same fate as many cultures: the pride that we have in these traditions are slowly fading.

Solution

To try to ignite the pride that we have for our culture, we chose to focus on the bunga terung tattoo: it is a mark of a warrior, of a man, often done as a coming-of-age ritual. But we told the story through a girl who has a different type of mark: a birthmark, which she sees as a source of shame. ”‹But with the wisdom of her grandmother and a renewed perspective on the Bunga Terung, Melia’s birthmark turns into a symbol of strength and beauty that helps her embrace the marks of her culture with pride. For PETRONAS, the tale allowed the brand to once more champion a sense of unity and pride in our people and our customs.
