The success of these social media campaigns has shown that our message has indeed resonated with the people of Malaysia.”The original ‘Pengacau Raya' was based on the insight that Malaysians are a truly multi-cultural society and this unity is even evident in our own families."The idea put a positive twist to the word ‘pengacau’ which made everyone laugh, ” said Andrew Tan, creative director of Fishermen Integrated.“When it came to doing a campaign for Chinese New Year, it made perfect sense for us to continue the story of Aloy and Zaitun. We are glad everyone loves to be ‘kacau-ed’ by these films. You can expect more to come from Fishermen,” he added.
