Ubah Gaya Hidup
Friend sent me this video from Malaysia, entitled "Ubah Gaya Hidup" (Change Your Lifestyle). Malaysian elections are in full swing, and creative juices are really flowing there.
Interesting that the leaders across the Causeway use the same line as ours.

Oh my, what caustic satire is there across the Causeway! I love the state of equilibrium being maintained by the magical phrase "Ubah gaya hidup" when the man on the street laments about costs "naik" (increase) and eventually scrapes the bottom of the pit.
The government handout in the form of a pair of flip-flops to "pakai ini sahaja" is a hoot to boot!

MAN-ON-THE-STREET enters dressed as a white collar worker,
shirt, tie and long pants. ESTEEMED GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL
enters, he wears a name tag with the initials "YB" and stands
behind a podium with the sign "Inflation 0%" in front.
There is a car seen in the background.
MAN-ON-THE-STREET
Previously... my life was ok. Until
the price of oil skyrocketed.

Change your lifestyle.
Man-on-the-street's clothes change to a polo t-shirt and
jeans. The car changes to a motorbike.
MAN-ON-THE-STREET
But toll charges also went up.
ESTEEMED GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL
Change your lifestyle.
Man-on-the-street's clothes change to a collarless t-shirt
and bermuda pants. Motorbike changes to a bicycle.
MAN-ON-THE-STREET
All the bills went up.
ESTEEMED GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL
Change, change that lifestyle.
Bicycle disappears. Man-on-the-street's clothes change to
traditional casual malay clothing: a sarong and simple white
malay shirt.
MAN-ON-THE-STREET
Flour, sugar, milk all went up.
ESTEEMED GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL
I feel... it's best you just wear
this.
ON SCREEN TITLES: Change your lifestyle, or change the
government? This coming election, vote for change.
