Recently P1 W1MAX launched a series of Potong / Cut campaign to boost their sales and subscribers on the usage for P1 Wimax but a lot of mix reactions from different groups of ppl. Some older generation especially women very insulting and feel uncomfortable with the potong and the phrase they used in the ads. It’s very seductive and asking ppl to cut and making ppl think in a wrong perception. Now a lot of ppl is teasing each other by asking “Have you cut?” / “Sudah potong??”. Isn’t it very wrong? Will P1 in trouble, don’t think so as the advert run for a period of time without any distraction? Read more below on some of the complain in TheStar newspaper below. Btw Potong / Cut campaign ended on 31st Oct.
Potong Ads Part 1.
Potong Ads Part 2.
P1 CEO Michael Lai
Now our biggest broadband giant TMnet come out with another fight back campaign which telling ppl why cut? It’s like a war in broadband now. Streamyx advertise in major dailies by “a guy looks like Michael Lai (P1 W1MAX CEO)” carrying a modem with the notebook outside the window trying to search for signal. It’s clear to us that it’s a fight back and want to tell us (the consumer) that P1 signal could be not as strong as streamyx and need to walk around with your modem and notebook to look for the coverage! Haha. Good one TM! Again if you hear in Radio advertisement, there’s a mother scolding her son why cut? Cut liao so slow and “Cut your head la!” “切你的头” “Potong kepala kau”… haha. Trying to record the ads but can’t get the right time to record. Lol. I got will update again, till then.
Updates: Finally got the radio ads in Cantonese but have English version too!
P1 Tagline : Cut Already ? Cut the wires. Cut the charges. Cut the lag
Streamyx Tagline : If it’s not Streamyx, it’s not good enough
Who might be beneficial here? I would say the advertising company and the media who publish the ads. Am I right? =)
I could help you to come out with better idea and brainstorm perhaps? Call me. haha.
Groups want suggestive ad snipped
THE “Cut Already?” P1 WiMAX advertisement has created a furore among several quarters, especially women’s groups, for its suggestive connotation, reported Nanyang Siang Pau.
Kuala Lumpur-Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall Wanita chief Alice Lee urged the company to retract the advertisement because it made women feel uncomfortable.
“It was done in very bad taste and is filled with sexual innuendo,” she said.
Blogger Teo Bak Kim said he was surprised that the commercial was approved when the Government was well known to be strict in advertisement regulations.
“It is vulgar and its suggestive remarks set a trap for the audience to make the negative association,” he said.
Wanita MCA chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun said she would write to the company and demand that the advertisement be pulled out.
“The company should apologise because the advertisement is insulting and it discriminates against women,” she said.
She also urged advertisement producers to be more sensitive and to stop making disrespectful commercials.
Deputy Information, Communications and Culture Minister (II) Heng Seai Kie said the advertisement was rejected by RTM for not complying with its code of content.
“It is now only allowed to be broadcast on private television stations.
“However, I have directed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to study its content and see if it contains any sexual references or not,” she said.
I have been using P1 W1MAX since few months back but my house is still no coverage till now even I wrote to them and also submitted the coverage suggestion but till now still no news.
I used the “Am I In Coverage” to search but seems that few road down my house have the coverage but I’m just not in luck. Any chance for them to extend another road to include me in the coverage so that I could enjoy the fun with P1 W1MAX? =(
P1 W1MAX please cover up more area before you expand to other state! If not it’s not very portable as compared to other 3G broadband like Maxis, Digi and Celcom which the coverage is much much wider! Keep it up P1 and I’m confident that you could do it! Why ppl subscribe to P1 W1MAX or other 3G broadband? This is because they want the mobility and if not why in the first place they will subscribe to these service right?
So work on the signal coverage to cover a wider area that supposed wimax could handle and enhance the quality of the speed too and make sure the price is competitive in order to survive in this competitive service. Demand is here but we must make sure the supply is good enough to take care of everyone of the subscriber. =)
Now you can even check your P1 W1MAX coverage thru your phone! Check this if necessary because they did not state the charges of using that service, so do not complain to me later they charge you because of using that =p
Step 1:
Type P1Block NoStreetNameCityPostcode
E.g.: P1 10, Jalan 2/23D,Setapak,53000
Step 2: Send the SMS to 36660.
Step 3: You’ll receive an SMS reply on whether or not your area is in P1 W1MAX coverage.
My review about P1 W1MAX WIGGY was out in NST but it was not under my name and not my photo? what happened?
Original review written by me :
WIGGY USB modem is stylish and it could support up to 10Mbps, with P1 WIGGY, we could online in just anywhere around the corner or city area. The downside is W1MAX coverage is still not very wide and waiting for the good news for it to cover my residential area. The speed for streaming and sufing is good and it’s stable.

WIGGY USB modem is stylish and it could support up to 10Mbps. With P1 WIGGY, I could get online from my notebook in just anywhere around the corner or city area. The speed for streaming and surfing is good and stable. The downside is W1MAX coverage is still not very wide. I’m waiting for the day when the service comes to my residential area. All in all, I do get value-for-money through this PC broadband bundle.
Although edited some line but it’s still originated from me.
I was surprise when I saw it @ NST. If you were me what will you do? Do not mislead the readers and fast action appreciate to rectify the problem right?
I have contacted the person in charged about this review on Tech & U @ NST, I do get a fast response from her and I was informed that I will be contacted by their corporate communications team but it’s 2 days now and it’s no avail. Hope this matter could be solved as soon as it could and it’s similar case like ShaolinTiger and he did get the apology as it supposed to be.
I saw this picture in TheStar newspaper and it’s indeed so ngam, the car plate is also P1. Cool huh? But not related with this P1 launching thingy ler =)
Last week was invited to join P1 W1MAX WIGGY Sneak Preview as a blogger @ P1 Auditorium, Packet Hub, Jalan Templer, before the P1 W1MAX WIGGY Launch @ Upstairs, The Loft.
