why banging cartoon foreign or local to be mascot when we have few menteris qualified to be mascots instead, they able to spin story and making jokes
Pandang ke Jepun semua lerrr
This is pakatanharapan_ Malaysia baru the dapmalaysia especially they don't know much about Malaysia culture, actress, artists, etc.
Yes, trully disappointing!! Doraemon is from Malaysia issit?!! 🤦🏻♀️
Who doesn't
Rakyat damn upset okkkk TourismMalaysia whyyy ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!!!!!!!!!
How many people know upin and ipin except Malaysian.....
X de mana2 syarikat animasi ke nak buat Keluang Man Remake?
true...we are disappointed..but tjere could be someone sabotaging intrrnally
Only cartoons can understand why.
We do not have any symbolic character to represent outr country?
masih x padam lagi benda ni?
Malaysia baru,
Suppose to picked cartoon character from zunarkartunis
Knp nak sedih. Nak promote negara kena guna produk luar negara. Yg kat MSIA tak ada kelas. Pelancong tak minat. Tp sebut Naruto, one piece, Pokemon, semua kenal dan minat. Jd fans ni kita nak ajak dtg msia.
We got Upin Ipin, kampung boy, ejen Ali, boboiboy, amazing awang khenit, kacang-kacang, keluang man, puteri, pada zaman dahulu, didi and friends, omar Dan Hana... Satu pun tak dipilih? ...(heh.. Im waiting for Ana Muslim Animation 😍)
ahmadmaslan Dont politicise this issue.The reason why doraemon came, is to fullfill Nobita's wish to meet his twin.Its more personal matters for both nobitas.
It's alrite coz we have someone resembling Nobita as the local rep character 🤣
oh course lah. Why bother promote homemade cartoon. Eh kita malaysian kena lah promote produk kita kan. Promote Got no idea Shame
Untuk pencerahan.
They are known for their Huru hara which they mistranslated as a Japanese word for 'very clever'.
ahmadmaslan Instead of complaining should join them & of course at you're own expense..
You all too stupid to think? It's a private company initiatives...in conjunction of visit Malaysia A doraemon store in the airport! marketing gimmick. Are you suggesting upin and ipin to promote doraemon toy store? Akal kat mana?
ImranAjmain I wish Lat's cartoons get the highlight to promote Malaysia all the time.
Very dissapointed.
ahmadmaslan Apo lak upset bagai, poii la tanyo Atuk's tu napo pilih doraemon. Kan friend friend ngan Atuk's tu
Our “nobita” (LGE) have decided...
Were they picked or they approched the ministry concerned, offered themselves + bear own costs. Hmmm....
ahmadmaslan i want larva cartoon .. can? 😂😂😂
Personally i want Sailormoon can aa?
ahmadmaslan I think not just Lat who upset. The Malaysian pun sad 😨
Jangan bersendiri di pagi raya, meleleh nanti😢
As ordinary citizen, i also dont understand why tourism minister choose others country animation. They really didnt respect local talent. Lack of awareness to appreciate local talent TourismMalaysia .
nicolewong89 As long Malaysian product
jimiecheng Any patriotic Malaysian would be upset
Back to u Malaysia.And now claiming Doraemon to be Yours! Malaysia Boleh.
'Meanwhile, the fan page of renowned cartoonist Datuk Mohammad Nor Khalid, or Lat, also lashed out at the decision, saying it was disappointed with the move.' Change the headline and delete this tweet. This is misinformation. Lat didn't give a statement. His fan page did.
I would be too. Lat cartoon is legendary.
Very upset too. Lat's cartoon represents Msia in its truest & purest form. NatArtDirector is nonsense to pick a Japanese cartoon over our own. MyMOTAC
It should be Frozen's character Elsa instead!
Every one should be upset...unthinkable.
Malay mail, take down yr article. You didn't even interview Lat & u made this kind of article? What the fuck?
All local animators should be upset and why a foreign character when we have many home grown ones
Don't create a mentality that the grass is always greener on the other side. Promote local talents!
Can your card tun bring money to Malaysia?
Why is everybody surprised with this? Its Malaysia Baharu! Expect the unexpected.
shamaineothman Should consult malaysian manga fans b4 deciding 😡

Open letter to Council of Churches Malaysia — Too Xing Ji | Malay MailAPRIL 18 — Dear Rev. Dr Hermen Shastri, I write to you in good faith as a fellow citizen of Malaysia to humbly ask that the Council of Churches reconsiders its decision to object to the Devourer Concert on April 21, 2019. The reason is simple: Cancelling the concert on the basis that it offends... 'Extremists' appear in various & diff forms & in every religion. Do not compare apples with oranges. The authorities have powers to act. But churches can only complain. Churches do not have the power to take action against the offensive. I appreciate the reasonable and measured spirit of the letter, but I feel that the the removal of long-standing practices of the Christian church in Malaysia by the authorities cannot be compared with a request that one’s religion be respected.
