The Ministry of Women and Family Development [in Malaysia] issued a series of online posters directed at women during the nation's partial lockdown, which began on March 18, including how to maintain happiness in the household and avoid disagreements with their husbands.
The series contained the hashtag #WanitaCegahCOVID19, which translates to Women Prevent COVID-19.
One of the campaign's posters depicts a man sitting on a sofa, and said women should refrain from being "sarcastic" if they need help with household chores.
Avoid nagging your husband, another poster said, but instead use humour or imitate the infantile voice of Doraemon, a blue robot cat from Japan that is hugely popular across Asia.
The ministry also urged women to dress up and wear makeup while working from home.

Hi Dorian
I, and to the best of my knowledge, none of my friends, are involved in domestic violence
But the West Australian Government, must know something, that I do not know
Early on, in the coronavirus scare, when we were asked to stay at home
The government put a limit, on the amount of alcohol, you could purchase
They said (I have no links), that they did not want domestic violence flare ups, making extra work for the police/hospitals etc
Until recently, I thought that it would be a two week lockdown, but I now think that it will be much longer
I hope that there are either
Adverts (perhaps in the bottle shops), directed towards men, not to abuse their wives/female partners
Or, if there is a flare up of domestic violence, many more woman/children refuge are built
I hope it catches on here.
