a MAMAK stall!
It was towards the end of this video that i got this idea.
I shall quote Wikipedia to help me explain why.
In Malaysia, the term mamak refers to Tamil Muslims, who generally own and operate them. Although traditionally operated from roadside stalls, some modern mamak stall operators have expanded their businesses into restaurant or cafe-type establishments. Mamak stalls tend to be popular among Malaysian youths as hang out spots, due to cheap food and beverages being served 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Tamil Muslims. they are Malaysians too. and during ramazan along with Malay Malays they would be fasting as well and yet none of the Malaysian ramadan ads i've seen portray anyone from their ethnic group (and trust me i've spent the last 3 hours looking them up).
My point being, when we remake our ad (which would include a Chinese Malay muslim (Nicole :P) , a Tamil Malay muslim (Yours truly) and Malay Malay muslims (Sara and also Lynz cos she looks malay)) we could be going to a mamak to break fast, or play out a ramadan scene in a mamak while featuring some of these Tamil muslims. Another Chinese muslim also might happen to just come over to the mamak to break fast and come wish us a happy ramadan or something too. i dont know yet. But you get the idea! This would eradicate the ethnic differences and make a proper ramadan ad for ALL muslims in Malaysia no matter their ancestory.
