Did you watch the opening event of London 2012 Olympic Games? I did and I liked it. Somehow it was quite memorable and very British. The opening act was good in describing Great Britain's journey since industry revolution. It also paid tribute to the workers and national health care system as well as British literature. How about Beijing 2008 Olympic Games? Do you remember their opening ceremony? I remember some - pieces here and there - the giant paper scroll and the four inventions. How about Kuala Lumpur 1998 Commonwealth Games? I do not remember at all even though I attended the event in Bukit Jalil Stadium.
So what if Malaysia has a chance to host Olympic Games in the future? How will the opening ceremony look like? Will we portrait to the world that we are a harmonious multi-racial society? Will we stage the foundation of the nation since the Malacca era (with the mythology of Hang Tuah)? I read a blog commenting on the possible event if Malaysia is going to host the next Olympic Games. It's interesting to ponder what can we tell to the world and at the same time leave a deep impression to the audiences. What do you think? Will we show the "promises fulfilled" act? Or the 1 Malaysia stuff? I bet it will be the all-too-familiar stuff i.e. harmonious multi-racial society with every races come out to dance.
