Every year, Saji’s Raya ads are among the most awaited because the messages they convey are simple yet very meaningful and relatable to the community.

Usually, Saji’s Raya ads have a touch of sentimentality. But this time, they’re bringing in the comedy genre with Joey Daud as the main actor! What’s even better, they’ve brought in legendary actors like Nasir Bilal Khan, Kak Delimawati famous for her role as Hantu Kak Limah, and Balkisyh!

Honestly, watching the storyline of “Minyak Maaf,” there are many deep and implicit meanings conveyed. There are so many punchlines in this short film that Min finds really hilarious.

Curious why this Saji Raya ad is titled “Minyak Maaf”? Well, let’s watch it! You won’t be disappointed!

Abdul’s character is truly irritating. Unconsciously, Abdul’s actions push everyone away from him. Just like us! If we hurt someone’s feelings, they’ll get angry with us and surely keep their distance from us.

Through the Malay saying ‘Naik Minyak’, which means getting angry, Saji tries to convey the message that when we make someone ‘Naik Minyak’, we have to apologize. That’s why, in Malaysian culture, we practice the culture of respect – respecting and forgiving each other.

So, how does Abdul convince his village folks whom he has hurt? Surely by winning their hearts and stomachs, including his beloved wife, Aina.

Who wouldn’t love their spouse, right?

If we make someone angry, we gotta apologize. Strengthen the relationship before we lose it. Serve Affection, Celebrate Joy.

Happy Eid al-Fitr, forgiveness from the heart and soul, from Saji.
