(TMI) – Temperatures rose today after a Muslim NGO slaughtered two chickens and offered a RM1,200 reward to anyone who dared to slap Seputeh MP Teresa Kok as a sign of anger towards opposition leaders for allegedly insulting the Malay leadership and Islam.
Members of the Muslim NGO then smeared the blood of the slaughtered chickens on a banner featuring photographs of Kok, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang and Machang Bubuk PKR assemblyman Lee Khai Loon.
The act was carried out in Kuala Lumpur today as a sign of protest against the opposition leaders who were alleged to have insulted the “Malay leadership, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Islam and Malay dignity”.
The focus of the group, which called itself the Council of Islamic NGOs, was Kok and her Chinese New Year greeting video, entitled “Onederful” Malaysia CNY 2014.
The group had initially offered a reward of RM500 to anyone who dared to slap Kok and provided photographic evidence of their act. That sum was revised after the 50-odd protesters did a collection among themselves and came up with RM1,200.
Group leader Zulkfli Sharif said the reward is open to all Malaysians.
“This offer is open to anyone who can slap Teresa Kok. But they must provide a picture to claim the RM1,200,” he told The Malaysian Insider.
The group then stomped on the “faces” of the opposition leaders. The banner also contained reference to the May 13, 1969 racial riots.
Kok had lodged a police report yesterday over the numerous threats she had been receiving after her controversial Chinese New Year video went viral.
In an immediate response, Kok said she will lodge another police report on Friday.
“What the protesters did is total madness and the police must immediately take action against the person. Lawlessness and such open acts of encouraging violence must not be tolerated.” she said.
Lee Khai Loon irked Umno and some Malay NGOs when he had had organised a "I Love Kangkung" flash mob last month where he had stuffed an effigy of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak with kangkung (water spinach).
Guan Eng had refused to reprimand Lee but had said he will direct Pakatan representatives not to engage in provocative activities.
Kit Siang appeared to have been singled out as he had been critical of the ruling Barisan Nasional on a range of issues and in recent days has been steadfast in defending Kok’s Chinese New Year video satire. – February 6, 2014.
