Advertising Malaysia as an investment site at the expense of the Philippines...Going viral...

AEGIS MALAYSIA TRASHES PHILIPPINES IN LATEST VIDEO AD

MANILA – A video promoting a Business Process Outsourcing company in Malaysia by allegedly attacking the Philippines has sent Facebook to uproar hours after the video was uploaded.

Inadequate Infrastructure, Unfriendly Climate, Less Security, Lack of Government Support are just among the many reasons cited by Aegis Malaysia

The almost 3-minute video allegedly produced by Aegis Malaysia listed many reasons why investing in Malaysia is generally better than in the Philippines. The video noted inadequate infrastructure, unfriendly climate, less security, lack of government support and the country’s very geographic location (being in the Pacific Ring of Fire) as among its reasons.

Typhoons in the Philippines is just one of the many reasons why investors should prefer Malaysia according to the video

Netizens described the ad as “offensive,” “unethical,” “racist” and “worst marketing strategy.”

Except nature, tama naman yung ad.. totoong bulok ang gobyerno natin at ibang manamayan (squatters)..

[shibby75]

Ayusin muna nila english accent nila. Pinagbawalan ko nga manood ng upin and ipin mga anak ko dahil ansama ng accent nila. Halatang hindi amerikano. Pano mo intindihin yon sa telepono?

Inadequate Infrastructure - Correct but who cares when your just talking over the phone ?
Unfriendly Climate - We have challenging climate not unfriendly while they live and breath the same thing daily and predictably so much so that when the smogs of Indonesia enter's their territory, they start crying like their dying.
Less Security- we have more security guards than all them.
Lack of Government Support - we learn to stand on our own as we cannot rely on our goverment while they are always like babies very dependent on what goverment say & tell them to do.

It they want to sell, they talk on their own merit not such an unethical manner. Well their not even known for ethics to begin with.

[Newcomer123]

Act of desperation.

They can't find their plane, the same way we can't find our PDAF.

Patas lang 😁

[cast_no_shadow]

VIDEO: FU Aegis BPO, Malaysia is NOT better than the Philippines
By Coconuts Manila September 20, 2014 / 17:46 PHT





It's sad a global BPO company like Aegis feels that the only way to win its businesses from the Philippines is by talking sh*t about us.

Wait, it's not just sad—it's despicable, underhanded and nakakainit ng ulo.

On September 2, the global outsourcing and technology company posted a video to their AegisOnline account on YouTube. The title: "Aegis: Spearheading Malaysia's 'Developed Economy' Drive." It got 3,087 views before it was removed by the user (check out the image above).

What was the video about? It raises five points why doing business in Malaysia is better than the Philippines:

1. Inadequate infrastructure
2. Unfriendly climate for smooth operations
3. Less security
4. Lack of government support
5. It falls in the environmental "ring of fire" making it prone to natural disasters


We don't know what sh*t Aegis went through while they had an office here in the Philippines. What we know is that Aegis holding company, Essar in India, sold Aegis' US, Philippines and Costa Rica operations to Paris-based rival Teleperformance SA for US$610 million in July.

Aegis no longer operates in the Philippines, but it is still in Malaysia, among other territories.

"Aegis always stated as fact that PH was the single biggest contributor to their revenue globally and has helped the company stay afloat. I should know as i was one of their AVPs and have attended a number of their management planning and review sessions all over Asia," says a former Aegis employee who now says he will remove that employment history from his resumé.

Watch the video—but before you get angry know that this was produced by a private company and not by the government of Malaysia.

Coconuts Manila has reached out to Aegis for its reaction.

desperado lang mga yan, wala na siguro nagiinvest sa kanila hehe

[cardict]

To say they are multi lingual !nuts,people in our BPO knows that language they posted on its'site,ang hindi nila alam,dito pa lang sa pinas,dami ng dialects spoken,now sino multi lingual

Remember, the Philippines used to be the sick man of Asia, mainly due to how Mr. Marcos dragged us down during his regime. We are lucky to be members of a resurgent Philippines; in sports, business, people, as a nation we are being noticed. For some reason, Malaysia has never been open to Filipinos & has always looked down on us, unlike other counties like Thailand, Vietnam & others who have high regards for Filipino talent. It may be because they are cautious of the fact that we are on an upswing & they are on a plateau. It may also be because we, like they, are of Malay roots. We don't even have to comment on Aegis, nor file anynsort of protest. It will just be seen internationally as sougraping.

If that ad aired on free TV, that means their ad board approved of it. Very timely, right after TS Mario kicked our *$$es recently.

That ad may have sent the wrong impression of Malaysians to would-be investors --- I.e. If it'S willing to tear down a country that' s obviously down on its luck, and "no match" to Malaysia, one wonders what else it's willing to do.

On the other hand, Pinoys are generally patient, receptive....and most importantly, polite. Maybe they should work on that.



Well, so much for ASEAN a unity and all that crap.

what do you expect? they are one of the most racist people on earth. bumiputras on top, peninsular malays next, bornean malays, then dayaks, those of indian descent, then lastly those with chinese blood. they suck on the british, hate the US and love the chinese tourists' money (but not the chinese).

even though filipinos work as top accountants, business managers and engineers in their companies their vision of a filipino is one who works in their palm plantations. or worse, a pokpok in miri.

[xninjax]

typical emotional filipinos. hilig mag react sa internet pg may nasabi tungkol sa pilipinas but they dont seem to mind being abused/taken advantage of by their corrupt politicians.

what they said in there has some truth in it

[FMJ JHP]

sad but all the statements there are true.
tama din yung isang comment this ad was not from malaysian govt. galing ito sa isang private company.

mostly people working in BPO's in Malaysia are Filipinos din naman, dami ko ng friends na lumipad pa malaysia para mag work sa BPO's mas madali sila matanggap dahil magagaling mag english kaysa sa mga locals, ang mga locals kasi sa Malaysia mabilis mag resign kung ayaw nila sa trabaho. hindi rin uso sa malaysia ang kailangan na may work related experience bago pumasok sa isang trabaho dahil yung company madalas mag provide ng trainings unlike sa atin yung newly grad hirap humanap ng work dahil pag apply ang tanong agad do you have any experience sa work na papasukin mo. Higit sa lahat ang tax mura depende sa laki ng sahod mo.

[1D4LV]

imho. totoo naman yung mga pinagsasasabi ng ads eh diba? the government, should address this, instead of attracting investments without solving the root problems.

however, infrastructure does not win investments entirely..... kasama na din yung workforce quality dun.

[leodawesome]

Totoo naman lahat ng sinabing negative. Yun nga lang below the belt, hindi dapat sinasabi lalo na sa marketing ad. Desperation. PAL should make one too. :rofl01:

[170kphlang]

pano ma-eenganyo maginvest sa kanila e takot na kahit ordinaryong tourist lumipad papunta sa kanila gamit flagship carrier nila.

[BratPAQ]

It's from a private company not from Malaysian Government. So let's not drag Malaysians to this issue.

What I can see here is Aegis is taking cheap shot at the Philippines. Kasi nga naman alam nilang mas fluent ang english ng Pinoy, they should know, they've been here. And BPO needs fluent english. So ibaling ang atensyon sa weather, etc. Pero iba Pinoy, sa gitna ng bagyo, cancelled na lahat ng opisina, mga BPO may pasok pa rin, kahit minsan skeletal crew na lang.

[boy astig]

Admittedly, they rose to the top during the reign of Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. But remember, it was also a dictatorship that not everyone loved. But there was progress. Now, they're trying to stay on top of their game after the post Mahathir era. Unfortunately, this isnt the case now. Marcos, for all the human rights violations and corruption issues, did actually long term projects that would have helped us get back on our feet. Until the events of 1986 and 2010.

Aegis should have known that thing called "regional accents". No matter how hard you train 100 people to speak like an american, 90 of them will still speak like a native speaking english. This is most prominent in the ASEAN with our neighboring countries. That is why outsourced industries not related to manufacturing (eg BPO's) do not thrive in their economies.

Pinoys have been reknowned to be international "parrots". Teach them the language, with the proper accents and hand gestures (european culture) and viola, you get someone you think grew up in that area.

Yeah, so much for the ASEAN Integration thing with this incident ....

IMHO

They are not good in this kind of work. Feeling nila ay sila ang boss at hindi customer by nature ng race nila so kaya siguro walang nag tatayo ng ganyan klase ng company sa kanila. Pareho sila ng ugali ng Singaporean parehong may superiority complex!
