KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 — DAP's Teresa Kok became the target of protestors again this morning when a dead chicken, her photograph, and red paint was found thrown at the staircase leading up to her service centre.
Building manager Emily Sim Foo Lan told The Malay Mail Online that discovery was made by a staff member who arrived at the centre on Jalan Kuchai Lama some time after 8am.
She said this was the second time that items were thrown at Kok’s office since the parliamentarian’s Chinese New Year video went viral earlier this month.
“The first time... I think it was about the sixth day of Chinese New Year... a (funeral) wreath was found. We did not say anything at the time,” she said, adding that the wreath was addressed to Kok.
“But now, this is a serious matter because it has messed up our premises,” Sim said. She said will lodge a police report on the incident today.
She said the workers from a nearby restaurant told her that they noticed the paint when they came in for work at around 6am.
At a press conference this morning, Kok reportedly said she believed the incident was likely over her video.
Earlier this month, a group calling itself the “Council of Islamic NGOs” slaughtered live chickens in their protest against Kok's satirical video, after which they proceeded to smear the blood on a banner with images of DAP and PKR lawmakers.
The banner also warned of “nightmares” of May 13, 1969, in reference to the bloody racial riots of that year.
The group also reportedly incited physical violence against Kok, offering members of the public cash rewards to assault her.
The six Muslim groups alleged to have been involved in the protest are Pertubuhan Permuafakatan Majlis Ayahanda Malaysia (Permas), Pertubuhan Kebajikan Islam dan Dakwah (Pekida), Pertubuhan Kebajikan Insan Bakti Malaysia (Perkib), Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) and Martabat Jalinan Muhibbah Malaysia (MJMM).
Kok has come under fire for producing the 11-minute video that lampoons current affair issues in Malaysia.
The Seputeh MP is currently under police investigation for the video, which Muslim groups have claimed is anti-Islam and anti-Malay.
In the video, the MP plays the role of a feng shui talk show host interviewing three panellists on their predictions for the lunar new year.
Among others, the panellists in the clip joked about a variety of hot button topics such as education, the kidnap of a Taiwanese tourist in Sabah last year and others.
