“Here in my home” - Malaysian Artists for Unity

A non-profit project brought together star musicians, indie musicians, dancers, filmmakers, arts curators, actors, poets, painters, art students, models, entrepreneurs and more from all parts of Malaysia's multi-racial society to produce a song about unity. Have a look at the video here.

The video and song "here in my home" was written and produced in May 2008 by group of about 120 people with a budget of zero. The song is sung in english but pay attention to the C-part with short rap parts in Malay, Chinese and Tamil.

Language

English is widely spoken so it’s very easy to get by. Though a few words of malay (Bahasa Malaysia) are always handy and will impress people. Malay is the official language but due to the multiracial character of the country you’ll find many languages spoken like Chinese (mandarin, cantonese, hokkien,...), Tamil among the Indians and several more languages on Borneo.
