That s right. It s time for one of the most exciting things during festive seasons in Malaysia, advertisments.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 While every festive season has its own dose of specialities, Malaysians from every walk of life also look forward to seasonal advertisements.
You know, the ones that either make you laugh, cry or just go hohum.
So, here are some ads that have caught the eye of social media users for Hari Raya.
As far as Hari Raya ads in Malaysia go, biscuits manufacturer Julie’s Biscuits has taken a whole new approach with their “Ini Iklan Raya, Tau” which highlights the importance of challenging the norm while also showing appreciation towards women.
Details 06 May 2021
Julie s Biscuits has launched a new Hari Raya campaign that tackles issues around gender equality. Working with GOVT Singapore, the ad takes an inside look at the production of typical Raya ads of the past, where women have been cast in stereotypical roles. In Ini Iklan Raya, Tau? the women break from script to raise questions to the director on why they are given certain stereotypical roles.
Sharing the advertisement on their social media pages, Julie s said in its LinkedIn post that women certainly play an important role in every aspect, including its Raya ad. It turns out that now they dare to come forward and not be shackled to the same script again, it added.
