It seems like all we do these days is speak our minds without considering if it will cause unnecessary misunderstanding. People usually say the wrong thing but they actually do genuinely feel bad later on but for some, it's merely a ruse to seek attention.
Azra Rahman is well-known for her baked goodies, but no one expected this from her. She recently went viral after promoting a hotel in Kuala Lumpur via a tweet.
But, rather than marketing it the usual way, such as "The nicest hotel I've been to, and you should check it out too," she used a different approach - one that may get people talking.
Hotel kongkek but make it aesthetic

"Hook-up hotel but make it aesthetic," the tweet says.
Her post has now gone viral, with up to 3.5 million views, 5.9 thousand retweets, and 17.2 thousand likes.
Some in the thread appreciated her humor and went along with it, but the rest of them thought her choice of words was uncalled for, especially because she is a mother of two children.
She was accused of doing such things to further her business as well as being criticised for trying to portray sex before marriage as a thing in Malaysia.
People yg get offended with the word, sorry from the bottom of my heart. Meant to be share with my followers je (sbb they know me for years) & obviously know how i talk (joke/trash talk) as well.

Tibah je dia blow up sebab hotel cantik & worth the price.
Azra then tweeted an apology after taking heat, stating, "To the people who were offended by the word, I apologise from the bottom of my heart. It was meant only for my followers who have known me for years and are familiar with how I talk ".
Apart from that, there hasn't been any news from the hotel as of yet.
What do you think, then? Does cheap marketing work?
