Tentang video viral dan perbodohan. 1. There is no such thing as bad publicity. The fact that the Malay community is still talking about it today, means that Mediacorp was successful at marketing a show that was supposed to be cut last year but whose longevity is assured this year due to a successful social marketing campaign that took 4 people and a camera phone. 2. Noose plays stereotypical caricatures. The makcik is a-stereotypical. She is every inch a makcik but Madam Yati was casted playing a civil servant/MP in the first episode. Does it remind you of a certain Malay makcik who sits in an important role in parliament? Its a positive role and one that bears far less skin and makes her sound more intelligent than the other MP roles played by Michelle. 3. Sitis acting was convincing that it fooled nearly everyone of its authenticity. Malays dont like to be pranked/fooled. It reminds us of the labels we have to live with in Singapore. The problem is that we are intrinsically guilty of 2 things, our capability to gossip, and our immaturity to decide what is news and what is a hoax. Especially with citizen journalism, dont believe everything that you read. A lot of things in social media are a waste of time. So decide on nicer things to share. Like pearls from the Quran or the beautiful recitations of the azan or acts of kindness and humanity. But if you think it makes you look too religious, cute cat videos are nice too. The prophet loves cats. Tu pon Sunnah tu.
