Offensive Malaysian Ad Portrays Skin Whitener Preventing Domestic Abuse
Can whitening your skin prevent domestic abuse? That’s what one Malaysian company would have you believe.
A recent commercial shows an abusive husband beating his wife before throwing her out of the house. But after the victim uses Slimmewhite skin whitener, her skin is lighter and her husband wants her back.
Women’s rights groups say the ad justifies domestic violence by implying women with darker skin deserve abuse. Yet, Slimmewhite is defending the campaign, saying it teaches men to appreciate their wives. Even though skin lightening is a $20 billion global industry, it goes without saying that it has zero effect on domestic abuse.

Hoax, try to blame muslim and malaysian
Lmao this scene was taken out of context reallll seriously lmao. The original scene is about a husband that always cheats her wife. Her wife kept asking the reasons but he kept denying to give it to her thus abusing her for asking to much. Then the wife put on some make up and pretends to be someone else prettier and her husband thinked its someone else so he treat her very nicely. After which he finds out about this he throws the wife from his house. This isnt even an ad, its just a scene from your typical soap opera drama stuff where an innocent wife and an abusive husband. This is really a anti-islam video but eh who cares anyway?
Now the same producer produce another anti human-right shorts.
But in malaysia, its reality..now a days girls, women even men especially in city area they love to be more white, more slim and attractive..if housewife like us too busy take care of housework, kids, school, dishes.. We lack of take care our self.. At the end of the day, wife become smelly, dull skin not glowing due to tiredness.. Not because of dark skin. People with darkskin if they take care of herself, her skin, she become healthy and glow shines at her face. This is reality, men can easily get more attractive girl outside, if men with high pay salary, they more ego.. This product just too sweet.. Just to help people feel more energy, and cell in our body just generate new collagen in our body..

Its HOAX.. its different videos mixed in one .. You will never found this commercial
With the modern technology based social media platforms, we are easily tapping into the foreign culture. Please note that some culture perceives brighter facial tone to be more beautiful, AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR CULTURE HERE IN AMERICA WHICH HAS FORMED FROM OUR HISTORICAL EXPERIENCES. We need to stop being seeing different culture with our set of mindset.
Just add islam to southeast asian and look what happen, yes right, stupidity to the max
To speak of a backward "culture"…
Peace be upon you & us, OUTRAGEOUS

This is the actual ad. Vocativ or its sources may have sensationalized this a bit cause she leaves him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg2jEoFW7tE
