A Video on Cursing.... Malaysian Style



The usage of this video is not meant for any political purposes.
It is just to give some picture on the scene of cursing in Malaysia and how some words are taboos in the Malaysian society. This is strictly academical in nature.

================================================

Over time, people started to accept cursing and taboo words a bit more openly compared to the past. In parliamentary debates especially, taboo words are used more openly, even when it might offend some people. Usage of racist remarks and comparison to animals are also prevalent.

The example in this video is the usage of the word 'babi'(pig) to refer to a person.
