Malaysia Airlines 'Missing You' Flashmob at KLIA

Passengers arriving at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on Saturday, 14 January 2012 were greeted with a flash mob as they made their way out of the Arrival Hall on Level 3. Much to the delight of unsuspecting onlookers, plus the odd stare in disbelief, visitors at KLIA witnessed some 100 singers and dancers break into spontaneous entertainment as part of Malaysia Airlines' special flash mob event held to welcome the New Year with a bang.

Themed 'Missing You', the flash mob at the Arrival Hall lasting 10 minutes featured a fun medley of eight popular hit songs in various languages.

The event kick-started with Malaysia Airlines' theme song "We fly" followed by Janet Jackson's racy track 'Miss You Much' to set the tone for the flash mob in which a young man with a guitar in hand walked up to his girlfriend and suddenly broke into a song and dance. This was immediately followed in another corner of the Hall by a supposedly heart-broken young man belting out Rahim Maarof's hit 'Istana Menanti' backed by a group singing acapella echoing his emotion. Soon after, the melodious sounds of popular Hindi tune 'Aankhein Khuli' from the movie Mohabbatein filled the air.

'My Boyfriend's Back' showcased a group of guys returning from holiday only to be greeted by an enthusiastic group of girlfriends. Next was Richie Ren's version of 'Lang Hua Yi Duo Duo' sung by a group of Chinese tourist lads, complete with group leader waving a flag, on their way out of the Arrival Hall door. Saving the best for last, the flash mob continued with hits 'Rindu', 'Balik Kampung' and 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered,' featuring Malaysia Airlines cabin crew in full uniform.

The 'Missing You' flash mob finale was a 200-strong group performance of 'Akan Datang' which had the audience clapping and cheering on the performers.

Malaysia Airlines' flash mob was put together with the talents from Kit Kat Klub a subsidiary of Enfiniti Vision Media, Malaysia Airlines staff & family, students from Unisel and renowned Malaysian professional dance choreographer Pat Ibrahim of Puteri Gunung Ledang, P. Ramlee and The Secret Life of Nora musicals fame.

Kenapa tak ditayangkan di TV ye video2 mcm ni? Drpd duk ulang2 iklan tak berfaedah baik tayang video2 mcm ni. Unik, menarik & amat sesuai utk mengeratkan perpaduan antara kaum di negara kita Malaysia...

I cried watching this, because this is so beautiful. All the races, the language, being one. I'm from Singapore, but I migrated to Europe as a young man, and when I left Singapore, we still had the kampung spirit. We were so friendly to each other, all races a part of one community. Now Singapore, when I returned, has changed so much... Now, change must happen, change is the only thing that's constant. Change is progress but community spirit can also change for the better. Now it's for the worse.
Anyway, my point is, this is a beautiful video. Well done MH.

It's not a flashmob. It's more like a musical theatre. I gotta say it's awesome.

tengok video ni teringat dkt abah. abah kerja security dkt sini dulu. nampak pakcik security tu teringat dkt abah, siap pakai unform lengkap. nampak klia airport mesti ingat dkt dia, sbb sini salah satu tmpt yg abah selalu bawak, saudara mara yg nak naik flight mesti abah yg akan guide dan kami sekeluarga luangkan masa dkt sini sampai lah selamat naik ke kapal terbang. senang cerita, kami membesar di sini. alfatihah buat abah ku yg telah pergi selamanya pd 12/11/2022. rindu abah sokmo :'(

[fairuz]
