I find the criticism of the sketch presented to MSA rather amusing. The sketch is presented in a light-hearted way and is meant for a laugh, definitely not as a degradation of our people.

The sketch is funny and that funniness comes from its exaggeration of life in Malaysia. The narrator did make it clear in the end that the scene does not represent typical life in Malaysia.

For those kiwis who do not know how to put the whole thing into proper perspective and who do not know how to appreciate the sketch, ignore them. Their criticism is not worth taking into account. However, I do believe MSA does owe an apology to the son of the hawker who felt offended.
