KFC

BSN
We don’t need to search far and wide for inspiring people. This ad by BSN is based on a true story of real Malaysians who sought to share their blessings and joy with others to make their Raya a memorable one. After all, isn’t that what Raya is all about?
In a whirlwind of colour, culture, and creativity, these ads have truly left a lasting impression. Until next year’s festivities, may the joy of Aidilfitri continue to resonate in our hearts and homes, reminding us of the beauty of tradition and the power of storytelling.
