1 | Petronas’ Deepavali Ad Angers Malaysian Indians | Dokambarotry Ny Petronas’ Mahatezitra Ireo Maleziana Maro Manampihaviana Indiana |
2 | In conjunction with the Hindu festival of lights, Deepavali, Malaysian oil company Petronas aired a controversial advertisement on YouTube that enraged many Malaysian Indians as it allegedly portrayed Indians in a bad light. | Miaraka amin'ny fankalazana ny fetiben'ny Hazavana, Deepavali, fanaon'ny Hindu, ny orinasa Maleziana Petronas misahana ny solika, dia nandefa dokam-barotra iray nahabe resaka tao amin'ny Youtube izay nahatezitra Maleziana maro manampihaviana Indiana satria maneho ny Indiana amin'ny endrika ratsy ilay izy. |
3 | Petronas originally refused to remove the ad, ‘Do the Dappan,' but following intense bombardment the ad has been removed from its official YouTube channel, however others have posted it online. | Tany amboalohany dia nandà tsy hanàla an'ilay dokambarotra ‘Do the Dappan' ny Petronas saingy noho ny fanerena maro nipatrapatraka dia nesorina tao amin'ny fantsony ofisialy Youtuba ihany ilay dokambarotra, na izany aza anefa dia nisy olon-kafa namerina namoaka ilay izy tety anaty aterineto. |

5 | According to Aisha: | Araka ny ambaran'i Aisha: |
6 | ‘The Dappan is a dance or a form of song and dance performed during funerals in India to cover up the sounds of mourning and also as a way to inform the community of a death… the Dappan also has little to no relation to how Malaysian Indians celebrate Deepavali!' | ‘Ny Dappan dia fandihy na endrika hira fanao mandritra ny fandevenana any India mba handrakofana ny hiakam-pisaonana sy koa ho fanambarana amin'ny tany ama-monina fa misy fahoriana… ny Dappan koa dia manana kely na tsy misy mihtsy aza fifandraisany amin'ny fomba fankalazan'ireo Maleziana maro manampihaviana Indiana ny Deepavali! |
7 | Hemashree Krishnan, was one of those who felt offended by the ad: | Hemashree Krishnan, dia iray amin'ireo nahatsiaro tohina tamin'ilay dokambarotra: |
8 | The ad proclaims that the Dappankuthu is an energetic dance prominent in Tamil cinema. | Ilay dokambarotra dia milaza fa ny Dappankuthu dia fandihy mihetsiketsika mirantiranty any anaty sarimihetsika Tamil. |
9 | Pray tell, do any of our local movies have dappankuthu dance slots included? | Miangavy lazao, moa ve misy amin'ireo sarimihetsika vokarina eto an-toerana ahitana tamingana fandihy dappankuthu ao anatiny? |
10 | Our youngsters don't even dance this kind of dance in dancing competitions like Aatam 100 Vagai. | Na ireo tanoranay aza tsy misy fanao io karazana fandihy io anatin'ireny fifaninanana dihy toy ny Aatam 100 Vagai ireny. |
11 | Since when did dappankuthu became Malaysian Indians' culture? | Hatramin'ny oviana ny dappankuthu no nanjary kolontsain'ireo Maleziana maro manampihaviana Indiana? |
12 | This genre of dappankuthu dance is exclusively confined in Tamil movies from India and if Petronas advertising team thought that dappan dance will hit the right chord with Malaysian Indians and Malaysians at large, well, sorry to burst your bubble but you are sorely mistaken. | Ity karazana dappankuthu ity dia fandihy iray noketrehin'ny sarimihetsika Tamil avy any India fotsiny ary raha nihevitra ny tarika mpanao dokambarotry ny Petronas fa ny fandihy dappan dia hipaka tsara amin'ireo Maleziana maro manampihaviana Indiana sy ny Maleziana amin'ny ankapobeny, dia izao, malahelo aho milaza fa diso hevitra ianareo. |
13 | WE ABHOR IT!! | HALANAY IO!! |
14 | Well, most of us.. | Izay, ny betsaka aminay……? . |
15 | What is the message that this ad is trying to convey and what is the nexus of it with Diwali? | Inona no hafatra tian'ity dokambarotra ity hampitaina ary inona no mampifamatotra azy ity amin'ny Diwali? |
16 | Diwali marks, good triumphing over evil, light, overcoming darkness but what this ad is depicting is that Indians are still stuck in the Dark Ages. | Ny Diwali dia manamarika, ny fandresen'ny tsara fanahy ny ratsy fanahy, ny hazavana, nandresy ny haizina nefa inona no sary asehon'ity dokambarotra ity fa tsy Indiana mbola mitoetra ao anaty vanim-potoanan'ny haizina sy tsy fahalalàna hatrany. |
17 | A great insult to our culture and history. | Ompa ho an'ny kolontsainay sy ny tantaranay izany. |
18 | To amend their major blunder, Petronas should withdraw the advert forthwith and stick to producing value-based adverts that Petronas traditionally do. | Mba hitsaboana ny hadalana goavana nataony, tokony hanala tsy misy hatak'andro ilay dokambarotra ny Petronas ka hiezaka hamokatra dokambarotra mifototra amin'ny soatoavina sahala amin'izay efa fanaon'ny Petronas fahiny. |
19 | Petronas has been famous for its heart-warming advertisements during important national celebrations. | Petronas dia nalaza tamin'ny fanaovana ireo dokambarotra mampihetsi-po fanaony rehefa fotoana fankalazana andro malaza eo amin'ny firenena. |
20 | Xu Vin, however, was unaware of the cultural significance of the dance. | Xu Vin, anefa, dia tsy nahalàla akory izay hevitra ara-kolontsaina fonosin'ilay dihy. |
21 | Forgive me for my ignorance. | Ifonako ny tsy fahalalako. |
22 | I initially watched it and thought it was great! the dancing, catchy music, colours and people. loved it and thought it was a twist to previous Petronas adverts that usually tweak our emotions if not bring tears to our eyes. | Tamin'ny voalohany nijery azy io aho dia nihevitra hoe tena mba dadany kosa ity, mozika sy loko ary olona mahasarika. Tiako ilay izy ary noheveriko fa fanovàna fotsiny dokambarotra efa nataon'ny Petronas tany aloha tany izay nahavita hatrany nanaitra ny fihetseham-pontsika raha tsy nahalatsa-dranomaso mihitsy aza. |
23 | I even shared it on my wall. | Na izaho aza dia mba nizara azy ity tao amin'ny rindriko. |
24 | Upon further insight, I found out it actually angered a lot of ppl, esp Hindus who felt it was a misrepresentation of the true meaning of Deepavali. | Saingy rehefa nodinihana lalina, tsinjoko fa raha ny marina dia nahatezitra olona maro ilay izy, indrindra fa ny Hindus izay nahtsapa hadisoam-pijery amin'ny tena hevitry ny Deepavali. |
