#tanahairku

Let’s go together to visit the Galeri Petronas – Tanahairku!

What was the Galeri Petronas – Tanahairku about?

Galeri Petronas was a place to keep Malaysia’s culture and the nostalgic collection. Besides that, they were also created a collection of truly Malaysian’s stories and mop up the nation to hear the stories of the people and rediscover our love for Malaysia.

Which section that I liked the most in the exhibition?

The section that I liked the most was Section 3. Section 3 was about “What’s life without love?” Whenever we were facing any sacrifices, resilience, perseverance and determination, love was always bringing us no matter family or companion together. There were 4 stories showed in this exhibition were The Plastic Bowl, 7 Sons & A Cow, Man Gyver and Tau Fu Fah.

Why was I loved it so much?

Love could help us to solve every challenged in our life.  Tau Fu Fah was one of the stories that I impressed in Section 3. The story was about a couple who met each other by a bowl of Tau Fu Fah at the Tau Fu Fah stall. They were always sticking together and enjoyed with each other every day. After that, they married and had their happy family.

Unfortunately, they lost the entire thing in a fire accident especially the Tau Fu Fah shop. They felt very collapse after the accident because they paid a lot of effort in this shop but they did not give up and decided to reopen the shop because of love. It showed that love was the one of emotion to bring us together when we faced some challenges, especially it would seem through the trial and tribulations as our progressed in our life.

How the section relates to the overall theme of the exhibition?

For my understanding, Tanahairku was trying to bring out Malaysia as one, no matter how many race and religion we had, the important point was Malaysian must  unite as one in our country. It was because all the themes in this exhibition were about history and relationship between different religion and race. As a Malaysian if we lived without any love, we would not unite as one in our country. Let’s us tried to imagine that if our life without love, whether it was different races or religion did not respect each other and Malaysia would not have today.
