Every year as Aidilfitri approaches, there are always advertisements or videos produced by individuals, organisations and others to be shown to the public to evoke the festivity spirit.

The videos often spark controversy among the public, whether intentionally or not, in pursuit of easy popularity.

The latest, a music video for an Aidilfitri song launched by a cosmetics entrepreneur recently, has drawn widespread criticism.

He had uploaded a teaser of his new Aidilfitri song music video featuring a line of dancers wearing tight clothing while dancing inappropriately.

Following criticism, he announced that he would not release any Aidilfitri songs this year, and the song titled "Love Raya," which had gone viral before, was just a joke in conjunction with April Fool's Day celebrations.

However, netizens considered the act of uploading the video to be somewhat excessive, especially during Ramadan.

This is because the 'joke' in question seemed to ridicule the Islamic religion to the extent of becoming a subject of mockery for other religions and communities.

Therefore, decisive action needs to be taken against individuals who are seen intentionally stirring controversy and disrupting public peace.

It is hoped that with such action, there will be no more Aidilfitri videos uploaded by other individuals that could spark controversy.

The public is also advised to exercise caution in making any comments or views to avoid any further conflicts that may arise.
