Script
Lee : Did you know, it was Datuk Mahathir who introduced the phrase "Malaysia Boleh"?
(0.01 to 0.04 minute)
Vivienne : Of course! But did you know Malaysia has their very own Internet Meme?
(0.05 to 0.10 minute)
Lee : Internet Meme?
(0.10 to 0.11 minute)
Vivienne : Yup! Internet Meme is an Internet Phenomenon and Malaysia has its very own phenomenon that was started in our very own country.
(0.12 to 0.18 minute)
Lee : Which is?
(0.19 to 0.20 minute)
Vivienne : Sudah Potong?
(0.20 to 0.21 minute)
Lee : Huh?
(0.21 to 0.21 minute)
Vivienne : You know the advertisement by P1 Wimax? They has this campaign called "Sudah Potong" to get customers.
(0.21 to 0.28 minute)
Lee : Oh yeah, i heard of it. But why is it a phenomenon?
(0.29 to 0.32 minute)
Vivienne : Okay, "Sudah Potong" which means "Have you cut already?" in Malay and a lot of people find this ad very funny. They started using "Sudah Potong" every time when someone else refers to cutting something. For example, I ask you whether you want to cut your hair tomorrow and you say...
(0.33 to 0.51 minute)
Lee : Cut? Sudah Potong lah!
(0.52 to 0.53 minute)
Vivienne : Yes correct. That was exactly how people use that phrase. It is an Internet meme because people use that phrase when they are chatting with their friends online. They use it as a tease. Although it is not as popular as other Internet Memes, to some Malaysian it has become a normal thing for them to say. So normal till they use it everyday.
(0.53 to 1.20 minute)
Lee : Really? But Sudah Potong sounds quite offensive in a way, right?
(1.21 to 1.24 minute)
Vivienne : Yeah. There were several issues raised by a few people regarding it. They say it involves sexual innuendo and vulgar and offensive remarks.
(1.25 to 1.34 minute)
Lee : How?
(1.35 to 1.36 minute)
Vivienne : It is actually involves a tradition for young Malay boy to perform a circumcision ceremony and the advertisement's dialogue does contain some sexual elements in it.
(1.37 to 1.48 minute)
Lee : I see.
(1.48 to 1.49 minute)
Vivienne : Maybe some people are sensitive. However, at the end of the day, it qualifies to be an Internet Phenomenon because everyone says it!
(1.50 to 1.59 minute)
