OPPO Malaysia proudly presents its latest short cultural film as part of the #OPPOMalaysiaThroughTheLens campaign, which celebrates the country’s diverse cultural heritage.
Filmed entirely on the newly launched OPPO Find N5, this inspiring documentary follows the journey of Anuharan, a Malaysian professional living abroad who returns home each year to partake in the sacred Thaipusam festivities. His devotion to his faith serves as a guiding force in both his personal and professional life, reinforcing OPPO’s “Make Your Moment” philosophy—encouraging individuals to embrace the present and create extraordinary stories for the future.
A Spiritual Homecoming
For Anuharan, Thaipusam represents a moment of renewal and reflection. His unwavering commitment to his faith was profoundly strengthened by a personal loss early in his marriage, reinforcing his resilience and spiritual growth. Every year, he makes the journey home to Malaysia to honour Lord Murugan—participating in the rigorous rituals of Thaipusam as an expression of gratitude, devotion, and self-discovery.
In Malaysia, Batu Caves is the heart of Thaipusam celebrations, where thousands of devotees climb its vibrant, steep steps, carrying the Kavadi—a symbolic burden that represents the trials and sacrifices they have endured. The Kavadi-carrying tradition is physically, mentally, and spiritually demanding, but for many, it is a transformative journey of faith and resilience. Through Anuharan’s powerful narration, the film offers an intimate glimpse into his devotion and the deeper significance of Thaipusam.
Celebrating Culture Through Technology
“Anuharan’s story is a reminder of our ability to persevere through challenges while staying true to ourselves. His journey resonates deeply with OPPO’s Make Your Moment philosophy, which honours the beauty of traditions through the eyes of those who live them,” said Monica Chin, Head of Marketing, OPPO Malaysia.
“At OPPO, we believe in capturing moments that matter, sharing stories that inspire, and preserving traditions that define us. We are proud to bring Anuharan’s powerful journey to life, showcasing the strength of faith and community.”
Through the #OPPOMalaysiaThroughTheLens campaign, OPPO continues to celebrate Malaysia’s rich cultural diversity, using cutting-edge smartphone technology to tell authentic, meaningful stories. By capturing real-life experiences, OPPO aims to foster a deeper appreciation of cultural traditions and inspire a more connected and empathetic society.
