I enjoy watching interesting advertisements televised on private TV stations. However, I was shocked to watch a Tim Tam advertisement, which I think humiliated the nursing profession.

The advertisement depicted a nurse eating a patient's biscuits, something shameful and extremely intolerable. I, therefore, would like to warn producers to be more careful in making advertisements. Just imagine, even though their salaries remain low, nurses make many sacrifices and still work hard with all their heart for the sake of their patients' health. What was the advertiser's point in humiliating nurses in general through that particular advertisement?

I wonder what those responsible for the supervision and control of advertisements have been doing? Are they still functioning? The producer has degraded millions of nurses, simply to promote a biscuit (Tim Tam). Isn't that humiliating?
