Power of Unity in Merdeka Episode of PETRONAS 366 Drama Series

KUALA LUMPUR, 30 August 2022 – PETRONAS launched the fifth episode of its 366 drama series, “Hari Ke-243” (Day 243), in conjunction with this year’s National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations.

Directed by award-winning Kabir Bhatia, this episode centres on unity as a potent force towards achieving progress, featuring soccer as one of the most unifying sporting events in Malaysia. For the first time in the series, all 366’s main characters are brought together in one episode and timeline.

The plot revolves around a struggling junior soccer team that has a big dream to win the upcoming Pesta Bola Malaysia match but is plagued by individual fear and limiting beliefs.

When Vikram, the football coach-cum-bus driver gets injured in the accident in 366’s first episode and is unable to continue to train with the team, Poji and friends come together to support him.

“Hari Ke-243” highlights how individual characters from diverse backgrounds and generations unite to overcome the odds – from around them or within themselves. The episode pays homage to the unity and ingenuity of Malaysians.

PETRONAS' Senior General Manager of Group Strategic Communications, Datin Anita Azrina Abdul Aziz said, "We hope this episode fires up the spirit of unity in all of us, to continue chasing dreams and drive progress as one team. We'd like to thank all Malaysians for their support for 366 and hope everyone continues this journey with us as we work to bring the series’ final two episodes."
