Quote
Kakak: Hari Raya or Aidilfitri is a religious celebration, not a fairy tale. The creator of the advertisement should understand that, but it's TV3 CEO Farid Ridzuan who should be held responsible, not the creator, who is a non-Muslim.
If, for whatever reasons, Farid wanted to 'apple polish' his political masters who control Media Prima, by portraying the 1Malaysia political concept, he must remember that it has nothing to do at all with Islam. Remember that, Farid. Please repent.

Amir Efendy: It is important, especially Muslims, to understand the meaning of Aidilfitri. It is a day not just with ketupat rendang or bunga api. I don't have the intention to give a sermon here, but it is better for the Muslims, especially the Malays, to learn more about what Aidilfitri is all about.
For the non-Muslims, the least you could do is respect. Do seek advice from a good Muslim friends before shouting here in the threads. Let's keep up our national spirit. For me, it was wise for TV3 to take off the advertisement.

Md Imraz Ikhbal: I totally disagree with both PAS and Muslims at large. My religion is Islam and whatever was depicted in the advertisement video has absolutely nothing to do with any religion. It is merely a depiction of our cultural diversity and Islam advocates that.

AJ: Why does everything need to be so sensitive? It's just someone's form of creativity. Just like Santa, the Christmas tree also has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. It doesn't reduce their faith even if it's there year after year. Faith is what you hold on to on the inside. 1Malaysia really has to walk a super-thin line.

Lim Chong Leong: We do not have to be so sensitive, because not everyone understands us, but it does not mean their action insult us. Let it be and we can always educate our young not to be swayed and others of our sensitivities in a nice way. Stepping on a cow's head in public is not a nice thing to do and those people knew that. But was there was a hue and a cry over that?
-----------------------
Matrix: This is all a good laugh. Must be it's someone's idea to polish PM Najib Razak's shoes. Anyway, it was downright stupid. Anyone can see it is mimicking Santa Claus with the rickshaw. Luckily, they didn't put in cows to pull the rickshaw. One very stupid attempt at shoe-shining Umno.

DOC: Santa has a flying sleigh. Harry Porter has a flying broomstick. Ali Baba has a flying carpet. So why can't Pak Haji have a flying beca?
