#SaySomethingNice : What's your message?

The #SaySomethingNice campaign started in 2011 but the organisers are going all-out in conjunction with Hari Merdeka on August 31 until Hari Malaysia on September 16.

“It’s for Malaysians to say something positive to each other. #SaySomethingNice is the foundation but the public are encouraged to use their creativity to create activities such as #WriteSomethingNice, #PaintSomethingNice, #FacebookSomethingNice, #RecycleSomethingNice and more,” says entrepreneur Anas Zubedy.

He added that this campaign does not seek any profit but is a way to showcase the positive side of the country.

“There are a lot of beautiful things that we can showcase. We are hoping that 10 to 15 years from now, it will encourage tourists to come to Malaysia and enjoy the beautiful things that are available,” he added.

Anas targets for one million Malaysians to be aware of this campaign especially through social media campaigns on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

This year, the campaign was introduced after the recent 13th General Election (GE13) campaigning period, that has somewhat divided the society.

"It is alright to disagree, but we've come to a point where we've been disrespectful and hurtful. We do not want that. We want to showcase kindness. Now that GE13 is over, it is also time for politicians to concentrate on the work instead of exchanging rough words," he added.
