Les’ Copaque Productions, the renowned animation studio behind the beloved Malaysian animated series “Upin & Ipin,” recently faced backlash after a podcast episode was released, featuring comments made about their staff.

In the podcast, the managing director, creative content director, lead scriptwriter, and human resources manager discussed workplace “drama”.

Netizens quickly condemned this behaviour as unprofessional and toxic, pointing out that the employees were likely unaware of the discussions happening among their superiors.

While they did not specifically name any staff member, the topics discussed included employee bonuses, salary comparisons, medical leave, and even minor instances of tardiness.

In response to the criticism, the company’s managing director, Burhan Radzi, took to social media to address the hate while showcasing his success by posting pictures of his cars and his book (umm okay?).

In a Facebook post, he noted that after reading through numerous comments, many of which came from former employees, he acknowledged that most of the negativity stemmed from resentment towards the company’s achievements.

However, he expressed concern that the comments had escalated into slanderous accusations against the company.

After reading all the comments, mostly from my ex-staff, I can safely say it’s mostly hated comments toward our success. Now it started to become slanderous with all the accusations towards our company.

Promising exciting developments, he revealed that Les’ Copaque Productions would soon be announcing several new ventures aimed at advancing Malaysia’s digital economy.
