Seputeh MPs and Pakatan colleagues ham it up in Chinese New Year satire.
KUALA LUMPUR: A new Chinese New Year video has been released starring the DAP’s Teresa Kok and Pakatan Rakyat friends, continuing a satirical tradition she started last year though it is yet to be seen whether another sedition charge will also follow in the wake of the video, as with last year.
The five-minute-long video, “1 Goat Year, 1 Great Family” features national laureate A Samad Said, Khalid Samad of PAS, the MP for Shah Alam; Nurul Izzah Anwar of Parti Keadilan Rakyat, MP for Lembah Pantai; Hew Kuan Yau of DAP, anti-corruption campaigner Cynthia Gabriel of C4, and actress Lim Jing Miao as the guest Fat Lady who loves shopping.
Dialogue is in Mandarin, English and Malay, with subtitles provided.
Teresa began the video tradition last year, which parodied the use of Malaysian cultural festivals for unity-themed television commercials, notably by Petronas.
Last year’s Chinese New Year video, “Onederful Malaysia CNY 2014”, resulted in Teresa being accused of sedition, for allegedly mocking the Suluk “invasion” of Sabah. The case is pending before the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
Teresa, who describes herself as the Sassy MP, has been a favourite target of Umno right-wingers, including Utusan Malaysia. In 2008 she was arrested under the Internal Security Act, to wide protests, on allegations of instigating complaints about the “azan” at a mosque in her constituency.
