1Singapore: Netizens Criticize ‘Offensive’ Government AdSingapore: Notsikerain'ny Olom-pirenena Ny Doka ‘Manafintohina’ Avy Amin'ny Governemanta
2An advertising campaign run by Singapore's Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) has come under fire for perpetuating prejudice and discrimination against ex-offenders, victims of abuse, people from the low income strata, and people with disabilities.Niteraka fanakianana ny doka fanentanana nataon'ny Minisiteran'ny Fampandrosoana ny Ambanivohitra, ny Tanora ary ny Fanatanjahatena (MCYS) fa mametraka hatrany ny fanavakavaham-bolokoditra manoloana ireo efa nigadra, ireo niharan'ny fanolanana, ny sarangan'olona kely fidiram-bola, ary ny manana fahasembanana.
3The campaign includes a series of four posters depicting social workers and examples of cases in which they have helped.Ny fanentanana dia ahitana afisy efatra misy ny sarin'ireo mpiasa sosialy sy ny trangan-javatra vitsivitsy efa nanaovan'izy ireo fanampiana.
4Words such as “ruined”, “destroyed”, “abandoned” and “hopeless” have been highlighted.Nasongadina tamin'izany ny teny toy ny hoe “rava”, “simba”, “nilaozana” ary “kivy”.
5These posters can be seen online, as well as in public areas such as bus stops.Hita ao amin'ny aterineto sy eny amin'ny lalam-bahoaka tahaka ny fiantsonan'ny fiara fitaterana.
6These ads have been widely criticised by Singaporeans, who felt that they were offensive.Notsikerain'ny Singaporeana mahatsiaro ho voantohintohina fatratra ireny doka ireny.
7@flubberzz: WTF is wrong with you MCYS and Starlight Advertising??@flubberzz: “Fa inona ity ataonao ry MCYS sy ity dokambarotra Starlight??
8Who in the right mind would come up with this kind of campaign?Iza no nisaina an'itony karazana fanentanana itony ?”
9Popular local blogger mrbrown expresses support for the social workers, but points out that the ads send the wrong message about people with disabilities:Naneho ny fanohanany ireo mpiasa sosialy Mpamahana bolongana fanta-daza mrbrown , saingy nanamarika kosa izy fa diso ny hafatra nalefan'ny dokambarotra mikasika ny olona manana fahasembanana:
10I love social workers and what they do but come on, MCYS, people with disabilities are not hopeless.Tiako ireo mpiasa sosialy sy ny zavatra iantsorohany saingy fantaro, ry MCYS, fa tsy very fanantenana ny olona manana fahasembanana.
11This kind of message just perpetuates the idea that the disabled are liabilities who need rescuing and sympathy, rather than a valuable part of our society who are differently-abled.Itony karazana hafatra itony no mety hahatonga ny hafa hihevitra fa miankin-doha mila famonjena sy fiantrana ny sembana, fa tsy hoe manandanja mafonja ao amin'ny fiarahamonintsika izay mahavita zavatra amin'ny fomba hafa.
12As a father of a special needs child, I am deeply offended by this kind of messaging.Amin'ny maha ray ahy mahalala tsara ny ilain'ny zanaka , tohina tanteraka tamin'ilay hafatra aho.
13In an article for The Online Citizen, Ghui observes that these posters may serve to alienate those in need from the rest of society:Amina lahatsoratra avy amin'ny mpiserasera, Ghui nahita fa mety hanimba ny sain'ireo mila fanampiana avy amin'ny fiarahamonina izany afisy izany :
14While MCYS may not have intended it, these posters serve to fuel society's prejudice towards the handicapped or people who have fallen through the cracks.Na dia tsy izany aza no notadiavin'ny MCYS, dia niteraka fitsikerana avy amin'ny fiarahamonina ny afisy ny manoloana ireo sembana na ny olona nitondra takaitra noho ny fianjerana.
15Instead of positive encouragement, it has reinforced the idea that the handicapped or infirm are somewhat lacking and ought to be pitied.Na dia tokony ho fandrisihana aza ilay izy, dia nanamafy ny fiheverana izany fa tsy mahavita azy ny olona sembana na kilemaina ka tokony hiantrana.
16I am not at all suggesting that these individuals do not need help but our assistance should stem from a communal desire of mutual assistance rather than a need to help “objects of pity”.Tsy niteny aho hoe tsy mila tolotanana ireo olona ireo saingy ny fanampiantsika dia tokony avy amin'ny finiavana iombonana ho fifanampiana fa tsy hoe manampy “ireo mampahonena”.
17The Society for the Physically Disabled did not comment specifically on the ads, they expressed happiness that MCYS was doing a campaign “to attract people to the profession.”Tsy nanambara zavatra manokana momba ny doka ny fikambanan'ny sembana ara-batana, nilaza ho faly ry zareo fa nanao doka ny MCYS “hiantso ny olona ho amin'ny karazan'asa.”
18Some see these ads as representative of attitudes towards disability - both of this region as well as of the Singapore government:Ny sasany kosa mahita fa maneho ny fihetsika mahazatra amin'ny manana fahasembanana - na izay ato amin'ny faritra na avy amin'ny fitondrana ao Singapore ny hita ao amin'ny doka:
19@sonnylebythebay: Asia still has a way to go in dealing/working with people w/disabilities & the mentally ill.@sonnylebythebay: “Mbola manana fomba hifampiraharahana/hiasana miaraka amin'ny olona manana fahasembanana & aretina ara-tsaina i Azia.

21@ambarvalia: The MCYS ‘hopeless' ads indicate the govt's usual high horse by implying tt the people shld be grateful for e govt's “help”.@ambarvalia: “Mampiseho ny fahazaran-dratsin'ny governemanta ny dokambarotry ny MCYS ‘tsy misy fanantenana' fa tokony hankasitraka ny “fanampian”-ny governemanta ny vahoaka.
22In response, the MCYS spokesman clarified that the word “hopeless” in the poster did not refer people with disabilities, but to the sense of hopelessness that they feel about their condition.Ho valin'izany, nanazava ny mpitondra tenin'ny MCYS fa tsy ny olona manana fahasembanana no “tsy misy fanantenana”, fa ny fahatsapana ho tsy manana fanantenana noho ny fahasembanana mahazo azy ireo.
23The ministry said that the campaign was simply trying to encourage more people to take up social work as a profession.Nilaza ny minisitera fa ny fanentanana dia miezaka fotsiny ihany handrisika ny olona hazoto hanao ny asa sosialy ho toy ny anton'asa.
