Objective:

With National Day and Malaysia Day approaching, MR. DIY is looking for a way to celebrate the occasion by showcasing Malaysian people’s warmth and sincerity through video.

Our Approach:

We turned the video into a social experiment, to see if any onlooking bystanders would step up to help an elderly man in distress. 

And of course, as an unscripted social experiment, anything could happen – including the possibility of no one helping out our elderly man! We did prepare backup actors and scripts for the worst case scenario, but turns out none of that were needed, as helpful and caring Malaysians were abound.

The video went viral within days of posting, and garnered a lot of attention from influencers and various media outlets: Vulkan Post, China Press, Oriental Daily News, Datuk Jake Abdullah, Dr. Rais Hussin.
