COMMENT Forget about the Pokemon, 2017 is the year of the Rooster.

People say after a year of monkey’s hanky-panky tricks, now the rooster appears. What we want is a golden rooster that lays the golden eggs. But a rooster that is up to do mischief, we can do without it.

And for Teresa Kok, there appears to be yet another twist to the year of the rooster after her previous Chinese New Year greeting a few years ago hit the cyberworld.

In a special Chinese New Year greeting, which has gone viral and receiving over 100,000 hits since it was released just two days ago (on Jan 25), the Seputeh MP has urged all Malaysians to stand united, until that mischievous rooster is finally caught and put into the cage.

Also appearing as guests in the video clip titled “Tangkap Ayam” (catch the rooster) are both Nurul Izzah Anwar and Rafizi Ramli, joining Kok in urging the Chinese community to stand along with fellow Malaysians to address the root cause of our country’s economic woes.

Appearing at the end of the video clip is Amanah’s director of communications, Khalid Samad, who has the privilege of putting the padlock to the cage.

The morale of the story is that the rooster will eventually be caught if the people stay united.

Although the mischievous rooster is able to run fast, and it is seemingly impossible to catch it; but at the right time it was finally caught - and locked away in a cage permanently.
