Petronas through its ‘Planting Tomorrow’ campaign celebrates the cultural diversity of Malaysia, particularly the traditions of the indigenous people of Sabah and Sarawak, for the coming Gawai and Kaamatan harvest festivals.
The campaign comprises a series of advertisements to be published in Sabah and Sarawak newspapers as well as a music video broadcast on YouTube that encapsulates elements of the two festivals for all Malaysians.
Petronas commissioned a group of youths to produce two pieces of bead artwork – one each for Gawai and Kaamatan – the images to be used to print the advertisements.
The artwork themed ‘Nurture people and they will shape the future’, employ intricate traditional motifs and portray some of the key elements of Petronas’ operations in East Malaysia. They are produced via a technique used by indigenous people for generations.

Kembali can be viewed on Petronas’ YouTube page www.youtube/user/PETRONAS
