#TECH: Yoodo calls for “fight against Lipas Terbang”

KUALA LUMPUR: Who amongst us has experienced attacks by “lipas terbang” (flying cockroach)? The “lipas terbang” has been the number one household enemy for years, and telecommunication service provider Yoodo, understanding the “terror” faced by people, is calling on Malaysians to rise and unite against the flying menace through an online petition. As a reward, selected brave petition-signers will stand a chance win exclusive Yoodo anti-lipas goodies which includes t-shirts and tote bags.

“All jokes aside, no matter what the focal point may be, the spirit of being Malaysian is what truly binds us together,” said head of Yoodo, Chow Tuck Mun.

“We are a proudly Malaysian company, and we’ve shown it over the last couple of years through various initiatives in our key target segments – tech, esports, active sports, music and entertainment – all aimed at connecting and uplifting communities.”

Also, in the spirit of Merdeka, the telco also launched funny video titled ‘Not Your Normal Merdeka Ad #yoonity’ which captures the animosity Malaysians have against the six-legged scourge.

Yoodo is also launching an Instagram contest with a special flying lipas-themed AR filter. To enter, contestants will need to post an Instagram story using the filter, tag @yoodomy and hashtag #yoonity, and ensure their account is set to public. Twenty winners will win exclusive #yoonity merchandise over the course of the contest, beginning Sept 2 to Sept 16, 2020.
