Claiming her safety is being threatened by a group of Muslim NGO members who slaughtered four chickens and smeared the blood on a banner with her picture, Seputeh MP Teresa Kok of the DAP lodges a police report today.
In her report, Kok urged the police to investigate the NGO members who uttered numerous provocative statements as well as offered a RM500 reward for anyone who slapped her in the face.
"I feel threatened and that's why I have to lodge the police report... I hope the police can take this seriously," she told Malaysiakini .
Kok had made the report at Jalan Tun HS Lee police station at 11am today, accompanied by several DAP leaders, including Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai, Bukit Bintang MP Fong Kui Lun, PKR's Kuatan MP Fuziah Salleh, PAS' Kota Raja MP Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud, and National Indian Rights Action Team (Niat) chairperson Thasleem Mohamed Ibrahim.
Yesterday, the protesters, dubbing themselves as 'Council of Islamic NGOs', killed the chickens along Jalan Tun Perak in Kuala Lumpur and smeared the blood on a banner bearing portraits of four opposition leaders.
Besides Kok, the portraits of DAP national adviser and Gelang Patah MP Lim Kit Siang, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and PKR’s Machang Bubok assemblyperson Lee Khai Loon were also on the banner.
The bloody act was the Muslim NGO’s retaliation against Kok's Chinese New Year video titled 'Onederful Malaysia CNY 2014', which lampooned Malaysian politics.
Kok then reiterated that certain quarters had apparently twisted and spinned the video’s content, and described this as a repetition of “putting words into her mouth”.
“Those who have watched (the video) know that there are no words of ‘Malay’ and ‘Muslim’ in the clip. And those who don’t comprehend the language (Cantonese) can understand from subtitles.
"It is unjustifiable for them (protestors) to say that I insulted the Malays,” she stressed.
On her earlier report lodged over numerous calls and text messages received since this Monday, Kok said she kept getting nasty messages in the following days.
She added that those messages had been forwarded to the police, however, there have been no updates from the investigation team so far.
