The caption on Watsons Malaysia’s Facebook Page says “There’s no tale more EPIC than Legenda Cun Raya Watsons!” and indeed this is one pretty “epic” video. The production value looks pretty big, with a star studded cast featuring Malaysia’s biggest stars including Uqasha Senrose, Kamal Adli, Raja Ilya, Ruhainies, Sasha Saidin, Amber Chia, Thanuja, Alvin Chong and more, but the whole video is pretty much cringe worthy, and the ending is one huge epic screw-up that screams racism all over it.
Epic Fail would best describe the video.
But don’t just take our word for it, check it out yourself. And if you’re free and waiting to berbuka, do check out the comments section on Watsons Malaysia’s FB Page for some added entertainment.
UPDATE: The video got taken down by Watsons Malaysia because of too much backlash. Here is their official statement about the video:
Watsons Malaysia is aware of the post that has been made viral on social media.
A post on 7th June 2017 regarding a video by Watsons talks about the legend of Dayang Senandong. The Legend of Dayang Senandong is a Malay folklore about a lady who was born cursed with black skin but blessed with a beautiful voice. The legend depicts that the king fell in love with Dayang Senandong because of her voice and inner beauty. The curse was lifted after Dayang Senandong gave birth to the king’s child.
We stand firm on the belief that unity and fairness plays an important role, and we respect people from all nationalities. The video was shot to highlight the Legend and its moral values of inner beauty and that true love exists. We are sorry that some of our fans feel offended by the video which was not our intention. We take feedback from our fans seriously.
Your continued support will be greatly appreciated and any feedbacks from you will help in improving our services.
Maaf Zahir dan Batin.
Thank you.
Eventhough the video got taken down by the official Watsons Malaysia account, thankfully the Rakyat Post managed to get the footage and reupload it on Facebook again.
