Controversial Ramadan Advertisements on 8TV

There was a controversial Ramadan Advertisements on 8TV..!


I was really disappointed with such Ramadan advertisements aired on 8TV. I cannot see the relevant of the stories behind these advertisements. 

Rather than making an advertisement in wishing Ramadan, it shows the inappropriate  acting by a Chinese girl on three different scenarios. 

The first advertisement shows the girl shouting at one stall owner and asking another for a discount. The second advertisement shows the same girl eating greedily in front of the stall, with Muslim customers watching her. The third advertisement shows the girl wearing a sleeveless blouse, with her shoulders and arm-pits pixelated.


By airing such scenarios, the Malays and Chinese would be felt offended. I understand on the appropriateness during the Ramadan towards the Malays as I studied in Sekolah Kebangsaan and all races understand on these even before Merdeka! Why 8TV has to air such 'racist' advertisements?

Truly disappointed!
