KATEGORI IKLAN RAYA 2016 DAN PEMENANGNYA ADALAH.....

Hari Raya sudah menjelang tiba dan kurang seminggu kita akan meninggalkan bulan Ramadhan yang barakah ini. Moga-moga amalan kita di bulan Ramadhan diterima oleh Ilahi. 
Seperti biasa, banyak iklan raya atau TV Commercial muncul di kaca tv, youtube dan media-media online yang lain. Ada yang sedih, ada yang kelakar dan ada yang kadang-kadang kita pun tak paham. Ada yang sarat dengan mesej untuk kita semua berfikir dan menghayati realiti kehidupan ini. 
Untuk tahun ni, iklan yang berjaya menarik perhatian aku adalah iklan raya daripada Samsung dan versi parodinya. Rasa-rasanya versi parodi yang aku lebih minat maybe sebab aku suka baca material politik. Salute pada semua pembikin iklan yang dapat menterjemahkan idea kreatif kepada bentuk yang mempunyai mesej. 
Untuk tambah mood raya, jom kita layan Iklan Raya dari Samsung dan iklan parodi dari saudara Harris Nasril.

Iklan Parodi / Troll



Selamat Hari Raya Aidifitri dan Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Ahlan Wa Sahlan Ya Syawal

Pre-Idulfitri 2016 Headlines

There are a lot of happenings surrounding us in the globe in this holy fasting month leading to Idulfitri. Some may bring happiness to some while others may bring sadness to some. Here are my picks for the headlines:

Global Headlines

a. Brexit campaign successful and Britain officially exit from European Union (EU) - Referendum which held on 23 June 2016 resulted British votes for exit by 52%.

b.  England exit European twice a week - This time around England was knocked out of Euro Cup after beaten by the super duper underdog Island (Iceland) of 2-1 in Round of 16 on 27 June 2016.  

c. Turkey Blast, Again? - More than 40 peoples died and more than 200 peoples injured following the shooting and blast by the terrorist assailants at Istanbul Airport on 28 June 2016. As expected, the finger pointing is leading to ISIS in connection of the deadly attack. 

Local Headlines

a. Bigger majority win in two by-elections - Mr PM and federal government can inhaled deep breath and could smile longer with the win at Sungai Besar (Big River) and Kuala Kangsar by-elections on 18 June 2016. Seems like the winning formula applied by BN worked very well. And for some period of time ahead, Mr PM is on the upper hand. 

b. TSMY and DSMM finally made to the UMNO axed list - With no surprise, the former DPM and the former Mentri Besar of Kedah were finally sacked from UMNO after unanimous decision by UMNO supreme council on 24 June 2016. DSSA UMNO membership was suspended pending for disciplinary report.

c. LGE charged in court with two charges - On 30 June 2016, LGE claimed trials of the offences under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009 (Act 694) and Section 165 of Penal Code. If convicted, he might be taken to jail and this time may be longer than before. Solidarity for LGE, are you?

What more can be expected as the time is fast approaching Idulfitri? And what will be the headlines after Idulfitri? So enjoy reading, thinking and writing...
