1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning. Sam Well. 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 2: In Australia we are in partial lockdown, I guess, and 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 2: in other countries around the world, some are in full lockdown, 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 2: some are partial like we are in Malaysia. People are 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: being urged to work from home. They have partial lockdown. 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 2: But in a culture like Malaysia where the man is 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: the head of the household, this is having implications so 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: now that the man is working from home. The Malaysian 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: government have actually had to apologize for this because they 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: had a series of posters telling women how to survive 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: this by not nagging their husbands. 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: They have been giving. 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: Advice on how to avoid domestic conflicts during the partial lockdown. 14 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: They've got the hashtag women Prevent COVID nineteen and one 15 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: of the campaign posters had a man sitting on a 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: sofa and asked women to refrain from being sarcastic if 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: they needed help with household chores. To avoid nagging your husband, 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: they said, use humor or infantile voices. 19 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: As a Little Blue. 20 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: Robot Cat from Japan. It's very popular TV show in Malaysia. 21 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: They've been urged to use a voice like that the. 22 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 3: Little Girl Boys. 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 1: If you need to get your point a cost you irritate. 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: And the ministry also urged women to dress up and 25 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: wear makeup while they're at home. This has hit a 26 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: nerve because actually they've had more than two thousand more 27 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: calls than normal to the domestic violence hotline because the 28 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: home is not a safe haven for people a lot 29 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: of the time, and to have everyone cooped up at home, 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: it's just causing problems. But to be told it's your 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: fault as the female is horrific, so the government has 32 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: had to apologize for that. Another interesting offshoot of that 33 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: in Malaysia is that the only person allowed to go 34 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: shopping is quote, the head of the family. So men 35 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: are now going to the grocery stores, and apparently this 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: has led to huge confusion. Men who've never done this 37 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: before are walking up and down aisles having no idea 38 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: what to buy, the difference. 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: Between a carrot and a cabbage, or the. 40 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: Difference between all the different spices that Malaysian households like 41 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: to cook with. 42 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: The men have absolutely no idea. 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: So, you know, we think it's tough for us, imagine 44 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: how other countries coping. 45 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: It's interesting, isn't it. 46 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: I remember when I was a kid, you know, and 47 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: whenever Dad did the shopping, we go out and do 48 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: the shopping. 49 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: And then he come home the biscuits for everyone. 50 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 3: Just come home with Chinese food. I can come back 51 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: with Chinese food. 52 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Well, it's the thing it used to be in our day. 53 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: If Dad was ever in charge of you know, over 54 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: Dad's we're ever in charge of the cooking. 55 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: That's when you get takeaway.
