Malaysian PM’s video on Tarique set to ‘Moha Jadu’ soundtrack goes viral
Malaysia's Prime Minister's Office has released a highlight reel of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's first state visit set to the Bangladeshi song “Moha Jadu”, racking up more than 900,000 views in three and a half hours.
The video was posted around 9am on Tuesday on Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's Facebook page, drawing an immediate wave of attention, bdnews24 reports.
The 2-minute 40-second clip covers the two leaders' bilateral meeting, a luncheon and cultural programmes, with Habib Wahid and Mehrnigari Rustam's song “Amar Bondhu Moha Jadu Jane” playing throughout.
At one point the video cuts to a key moment from the talks where Anwar addresses the Rohingya crisis.
"Through our common effort, we will work to resolve the predicament of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and also here," Anwar says in the clip.
"[We will] engage through ASEAN mechanisms with the Myanmar authorities to resolve part of the issue.”
“Moha Jadu” plays in the background as Anwar makes those remarks.
Coke Studio Bangla describes the song as a blend of Baul mysticism and Persian poetry, written by lyricist Khwaja Mia, a disciple of Baul saint Durbin Shah.
