I hesitate to respond to this, because this could turn very ugly
very quickly, but I think this needs to be said. I suggest CJ or
another moderator watch this thread closely, though.
I don't think this is meant to promote religion by any means. It
appears, from a quick Google search, that this is just a high
school sitcom, not a religious show, per se. These women are
wearing head scarves not because they're actively trying to push
religion but because many Muslim women happen to wear head scarves
(and, incidentally, many don't). This is no different than a
character on an American show wearing a cross necklace.
Actually, it's not even that; Muslim women who do wear head scarves
don't generally remove them in public, so they wouldn't normally
take them off to go to work or school. Women who wear head scarves
do so out of modesty, so asking them to go without head scarves
would be almost like expecting female characters on a high school
sitcom to do the show topless because you don't like it when shows
push religion by making people wear clothing and they'd be hotter
without shirts on. It's not religious propaganda; it's just a
reflection of the basic sense of propriety of some Muslim women.
Also, keep in mind that this is a Malaysian show. It's not made in
the United States or Canada or Australia or Europe. The culture is
different; the customs are different; people dress differently; and
people have different social expectations. Malaysia is a
majority-Muslim country, with 61% of the population practicing
Islam. While head scarves may be so uncommon in the West that they
look to our eyes like an overt religious expression, it would not
be unusual at all to see many women in Malaysia wearing head
scarves. Insisting that no one on a Malaysian show wear a head
scarf wouldn't be keeping the show religiously neutral; it would be
a strange suppression of religion, along the lines of Western
television shows banning all cross necklaces, all mentions of
churches, all crucifixes on the walls in sets, all mentions of the
words "God" and "Jesus", all Christmas episodes, all characters who
are even remotely religious. Wouldn't that be strangely,
uncomfortably repressive? While secular Western television doesn't
generally push religion, neither do we pretend religion doesn't
exist.

If you're actually "pissed" by that 40 seconds of innocent video,
you have anger issues.

Thank you for the additional cultural / regional insights guest
(post 3).
Let's try to keep this discussion firmly planted in the TF
material, and less about cultural and religious opinions. This
thread is NOT the place for such discussions. Thank you.

"Who can tell me what this show is about?"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh_My_English!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"... The plot?"
From the show's own page ( http://www.ohmyenglish.com.my/ms/utama
):
SEKILAS PANDANG
EPISOD 16: THE SWAP
AHAD � 29 NOVEMBER � 6:30PTG
Cikgu Ayu dan Jojie berkelahi mengenai satu hal hinggakan mereka
tak tahan satu sama lain, hinggalah satu kejutan elektrik telah
menyebabkan Cikgu Ayu dan Jojie bertukar badan! Mereka terpaksa
meneruskan kehidupan seperti biasa kerana Cikgu Ayu sedang
menjalani penilaian prestasi manakala Jojie perlu mengetuai
pasukannya dalam sebuah pertandingan. Mereka mencari jalan untuk
kembali ke keadaan asal dan ini menyebabkan mereka lebih memahami
akan satu sama lain."
The body of which Google translates to:
"Ms Ayu and Jojie fighting about one thing that they can not stand
each other , until one fatal accident has caused Ms Ayu and Jojie
turned body ! They had to continue life as normal as Ms Ayu is
undergoing performance evaluation while Jojie have led his team in
a match. They find their way back to their original shape and this
will cause them to better understand each other ."
Took me about two minutes to Google that for you.

CJ, Saying someone has anger issues is not an "attack". I don't
recall any ad hominems in my sentence. Please stop treating this
site like Disney Channel when it is populated mostly by adults.
This is why some people end up having big quarrels with you.
You claim it's for the longevity of the site in making people feel
welcome yet Youtube is one of the most vicious sites on the
internet yet it is also the most popular. Same for other more
closely related sites such as Reddit or 4chan. People aren't SO
fragile as you think. I'm not trying to say you shouldn't do any
policing but ease up, man!
I've been on this site for years now and yet the only person in my
experience that has truly made me feel unwelcome here is you,
multiple times.
This is off-topic so feel free to delete it but I did want you to
read it.

Hold the 1980s cellular phone. Someone makes a thread about a show
that I've never heard of and it entices me because I'm curious. The
poster doesn't give any info on the plot and instead goes off on a
rant about politics and society yet I'm lectured on how it took 2
minutes on google to look it up?
Don't make threads about shows and movies unless you're gonna give
some info and details about it. I'm not going to waste my time
looking it up unless I have solid intel.
Good day sir!

"... The poster doesn't give any info on the plot and instead goes

took 2 minutes on google to look it up?..."
Almost. Because the poster probably submitted the material right
away after seeing the preview that was linked, but not the actual
episode. In fact, the OP specifically mentioned that they weren't
sure where to watch the episode.
Had ~I~ wanted to know more about the item, I would have looked it
up (such as I did to answer your question), and then shared it with
everyone here (like I did). THIS is how we all contribute to
collective knowledge... by seeking out and then sharing
information. It was my hope that that nudge (not a lecture - THIS
is a lecture) would prompt you to help contribute in the future.
And it was NOT the OP who went off on the political, etc. rant, so
please keep your facts straight.
"Don't make threads about shows and movies unless you're gonna give
some info and details about it..."
I disagree. TF content found should be shared, especially if one
cannot find details about it. The collective memories and minds and
effort that this community provides can sometimes turn that clue
into a gem.
But, yes, when one has access to more details when posting (and
especially when submitting new content), then yes, it should be
included.
"I'm not going to waste my time looking it up unless I have solid
intel."
That is your prerogative. Just don't expect us to do all the work
for you. Just like with everything else in life, if you want
something, you're going to have to seek it out (and probably do a
bit of work to get it). And helping the community every once in
awhile is always nice too.
Now, if we can get this thread back on-topic. Feel free to start a
new thread to respond to any off-topic thoughts.

Ive looked almost everywhere so far I haven't found anything the
facebook page says you can watch any of the episodes on astro on
the go but then I created an account but it won't let me access any
of the vids, so ya hard to find but I'll keep on digging for it

IINM, you could get to watch some astro channels (ASTRO is a paid
satellite service, and Oh My English is actually an in house
production of Astro) using streaming apps like KODI.
Not sure if the channel screening the series is included in those
astro channels streamed through KODI/XBMC.
Google around to how configure KODI, and the series is aired in an
educational channel, TVIQ of Astro.
