In a recent TikTok video, Turkish honey entrepreneur, Hakki, known as @nebihanawawi on TikTok, shared his candid thoughts on certain interactions he's had with Malay men in Malaysia. The video quickly gained attention for shedding light on cultural differences in perceptions of humor and respect for partners.

Hakki, who has been actively running his honey business in Malaysia, expressed his frustrations with a specific recurring encounter. He revealed that some Malay men often approached him and made jokes about having "madu" (honey) just because he is in the honey-selling business. According to him, these men playfully suggested that he could have up to four "madu" (wives) if he wished to.

The Turkish entrepreneur conveyed his annoyance and shame at such discourse, particularly when these comments were made in the presence of their wives. In Turkish culture, according to Hakki; such remarks are considered disrespectful to one's partner and can significantly impact one's reputation.

Hakki emphasized that joking or discussing the idea of marrying more than once is viewed as offensive and detrimental to a person's character in his culture. He stressed that such jokes are not only unnecessary but also insensitive to one's partner.
