It is an article to represent that the video commercial is not a good advertisement to be published in Malaysia because this country has many cultures.

The video was found by Rui:
We decided to choose this advertisement that was aired on 8TV in 2011. This advertisement shows a non-muslim being disrespectful during the fasting month of Ramadan and the ways to respect the Muslim when they are fasting. The purpose of this advertisement was actually to advise the viewers not to "get carried away" and asked them to respect the significant of Ramadan and respect the holy month.
However, the advertisements were criticized publicly as it was claimed to be racist and inappropriate. This is because they stereotyping the Chinese as loud, obnoxious and insensitive. They are also criticized for depicting Islam as an intolerant religion.

Firstly, my comments go out to all in the group. Interesting selection but please explain clearer why this is offensive (also, define offensive in this context) in terms of culture in Malaysia. Also, do include here what the brief requires you to do for this project. Please write proper English with correct spelling, vocabulary and grammar. The first letter in every sentence and names are always spelled with a capital letter as well as the capital letter "I" that denotes the self. Remember, your work is seen by everyone so you need to be more professional and responsible for what you say therefore reliable, related sources that your quote must be cited in the references.
