MSC (Malaysian Screwed-up Commercial)

Recently posted on my Facebook status stating my dissapointment on the recent Malaysia-made advert. And i got lots of reactions too.

Ok, i must admit that i have my own limitation in term of creativity.

But there were a couple of times when i really felt like throwing my underwear on to my tv screen when one of those commercial advert shown up in tv.

To be precise, it is more towards the so called advert for "community message".

Ok, the intention is nice, they teach us not to bribe, use proper Bahasa Melayu during conversation, not to laugh when you see an old man being tripped over by a dog, those moral value kind of thingy.

The problem is the way they present it.

Look at Digi, who really made an impressive comeback from an unwanted telco to be one of the leader in the telecomm industry.

Look at Petronas advert, who never failed to make you weep and make u felt like you are a uselss son who deserved your head to be shoved into the toilet.

But c'mon, what about the local adverts? A group of family sitting around, and pretending to be happy, smile, and then suddenly this "Bahasa itu jiwa bangsa kite....".


OMG?!!! WTF??!!

If this is the standard of local tv advert, with the tax i am paying to the govenment, i think i have the divine rights to stand up and say "NO TO LOCAL TV ADVERT"!!!

Unless you tell me your company couldn't sponsor you, so you have to employed a mentally disturbing person to be your creative director, i am willing to fill in the vacancy free of charge for you.

Just to revive the image of Malaysia.

Abg. Najib, please look into your 1 Malaysia advert also. Better consider to raise your KPI now.
