He’s probably a taxpayer foaming in the mouth from sheer excitement, after seeing his hard-earned cash being spent so well on public service ads that throughout the years, have been proven to be extremely effective in making political cronies rich and the average citizen take drugs in even larger quantities.

In fact, the ads are so effective, there are thousands of concerned citizens writing in right now to the ministry asking what Mr Foaming Mouth Taxpayer was taking and where to get some, and if there are any special wholesale discounts.

Of course, due to our high standards of government efficiency, I’m still waiting for a reply.

Next time they’d better hire us to come up with ‘more’ better anti-dadah campaign slogan. Best stick to Malay if they cannot get the English right. How about this for a start?

DADAH? Mana ay-sai. (DADAH? Where can one!)

or better…

Eat Dadah, you eat Shit. (if thet wanna kill English grammar, they might as well as over-kill it and do it with style!)

just an idea.

Those people who come up with the TakNak and Drug kills idea, don’t know what motivates people smokes or take drugs in the first place.
Let alone grammar.

For example, I observed that smokers usually smokes when they’re stressed. and saying TakNak is like lying to yourself that the stress doesn’t exist.

It’s not the drugs that kill, it’s the choice made by that person using it that killed himself. In the same way, money is not evil, but the love of it is. Credit cards don’t put people in debt, it’s the lack of finance management that does…oh well, this advert, and even the one on radio, just doesn’t really strike the heart yet. We need real people, real testimonies, not some unrealistic scenes and some actors…

It’s a glaring GRAMMATICAL error. “Drugs” as in referring to “dadah” is always in plural. Hearing something like “Don’t do drug” should stop you cold, if you know your English.

Vincent, “Drug kills” implies that the copywriter sucks.
