Boycott Rapp Malaysia for their GE13 fear-mongering ads
Petition by Kevin Bathman
Sydney, Australia
You would have seen the fear-mongering ads from Barisan Nasional (BN) in the mainstream media.
The print advertisements play on Chinese fears of PAS’ Islamist
influence on the one hand, and Malay fears of DAP influence on the
other, with the slogan: “A vote for DAP is a vote for PAS,” and vice
versa.“The ads look like they are designed to cause anxiety and fear that the Chinese would lose their culture and education if they vote for DAP,” Masjaliza Hamzah, from the Centre of Independent Journalism (CIJ), told The Malaysian Insider.
“There’s zero concept. Just accusations with no tact or respect. The ads are very patronising, an insult to the people’s intelligence,” said 32-year-old copywriter Kevin, who declined to give his last name. “They forgot the golden rule of advertising. No advertising can save a bad product,” he added.
These racial fear campaigns are the biggest insult to the intelligence of today's voters. It reflects the mentality and quality of the BN leaders.
It has been exposed by Campaign Asia-Pacific
that Rapps Malaysia is responsible for these advertisements. Rapp
Malaysia is a part of Naga DDB Malaysia.
Let’s ensure the clients from Rapp Malaysia and Naga DDB are aware of
their agency's irresponsible and fear-mongering ads for Barisan
Nasional.Rapp MalaysiaDigi

Your agency RAPP Malaysia (and its parent company NAGA DDB Malaysia) has
been producing fear-mongering and patronising ads for BN.
Malaysians deserve more and these ads are truly an insult to the people's intelligence. Stop using racial and religious tactics against Malaysians.
