00:00A reminder before watching the video
00:01There's more content on trending websites.
00:04We live in a multi-racial country
00:07Instilled from childhood
00:09We must respect the cultures of all ethnic groups.
00:11Everyone's religion
00:12Everyone's customs
00:13Recently, the long-established Taiwanese potato chip brand Portido...
00:17They launched three new products with exotic flavors.
00:20One of them is a potato chip with a Bak Kut Teh flavor.
00:24Speaking of potato chips
00:26Actually, if you say it's sold in Taiwan
00:28There's not much of a problem.
00:29But this potato chip was launched as soon as...
00:31However, it unexpectedly touched on a cultural sensibility of Malaysians.
00:35Some Malaysian netizens directly on social media
00:37Three major problems with this potato chip brand
00:40However, the key issue isn't the flavor of the potato chips themselves.
00:44Rather, it's the design of the product packaging.
00:46So what exactly went wrong with the packaging of these Bak Kut Teh potato chips?
00:50Let me show you the photos first.
00:52At first glance
00:53This light blue and white packaging
00:56It features a strong Southeast Asian design style.
00:58Looking at it magnified
01:00The bottom center of the packaging features a bowl of Sapo Bak Kut Teh.
01:04The only landmark on the left side of Bak Kut Teh is a famous Singapore landmark.
01:07Fish Tail Stone Pattern
01:08To the right of Bak Kut Teh
01:10A portrait of a man dressed in traditional Malay clothing suddenly appeared.
01:15That's why this place has caused dissatisfaction among some Malaysian netizens.
01:19They believe that Malays and Muslims do not eat pork.
01:22However, this potato chip packaging features a figure dressed in traditional Malay clothing.
01:26Portrait and Bak Kut Teh placed together
01:29Clearly, the designer had absolutely no idea what halal was.
01:33And then?
01:34The second question?
01:35The packaging for Bak Kut Teh contained cilantro.
01:40Some netizens said...
01:42This is practically like adding taro to a hot pot.
01:45Unacceptable
01:46But is it really true that cilantro can't be served with Bak Kut Teh?
01:49This question may be open to different interpretations.
01:51Let everyone judge for themselves.
01:53What about netizens?
01:54Then there's a third question about the packaging.
01:56Many Malaysians probably feel this particularly well.
01:59It's that issue that Ma and Xing have been arguing about for a long time.
02:02The packaging features elements of the Singapore Merlion.
02:06What about Bak Kut Teh?
02:07Some say it's a representative dish of Malaysia.
02:10You put the Merlion next to the Bak Kut Teh.
02:13This will likely reignite debate about whether Bak Kut Teh is truly a Malaysian dish.
02:16The controversy in Singapore
02:17What happened in the end, according to some netizens?
02:19He emphasized that he wanted to defend the controversy surrounding Bak Kut Teh.
02:22What about these astronomical phenomena?
02:23It then quickly went viral online.
02:25Many netizens agree
02:26This packaging design is indeed very unreasonable.
02:29Faced with overwhelming controversy
02:31The official distributor of the potato chips also quickly came out to quell the controversy.
02:34They admitted that after receiving feedback from netizens...
02:37Shipments were stopped immediately last week.
02:40The remaining packaging was scrapped and destroyed.
02:43They promised
02:44In the future, we will strengthen the design team.
02:46Sensitivity to and accuracy of multiculturalism
02:49In order to prevent similar situations from happening again
02:52That sincere attitude towards the authorities
02:54This also garnered praise from netizens.
02:55Some people jokingly appealed.
02:57People who bought the first version of the packaging
02:59Don't throw it away!
03:00Because of this
03:00This may be a limited edition product that is no longer available.
03:03Even if you have money
03:04You probably can't buy it on the market anymore.
