A year after ‘Onederful Malaysia’ video, Kok back with another

A screen capture of the latest satirical video by DAP’s Teresa Kok,
titled ‘1 Goat Year 1 Great Family’.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 1 — DAP’s Teresa Kok has published another satirical video parodying Malaysian events and leaders for Chinese New Year, even as she remains in the dock for sedition over last year’s controversial edition.

This year’s video is titled “1 Goat Year 1 Great Family”, continuing the apparent mockery of Putrajaya’s penchant for the number 1, and stars Kok, national laureate A. Samad Said, Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad, Lembah Pantai lawmaker Nurul Izzah Anwar, DAP’s Hew Kuan Yau, C4 founder Cynthia Gabriel and actress Lim Jing Miao.

Keeping the theme from last year’s video, Kok and company gather in what appears to be preparation for Chinese New Year and proceed to lampoon current and national affairs using double entendres, wordplay, graphics, costumes and innuendo.

Although they avoid directly mentioning any of the individuals and topics directly, those familiar with Malaysian politics and current affairs will be able to spot the references.

The 5-minute long video is largely in Mandarin although some parts are in English and Malay, while subtitles are available to help viewers along.

Kok was charged with sedition last year over her “Onederful Malaysia CNY 2014”, in which she is accused of mocking the country’s security forces by lampooning the Lahad Datu standoff with Suluk invaders.

The case is now pending before the Kuala Lumpur High Court.

The Seputeh MP denied that the video had mocked the armed forces or any other agencies or individuals, and said that it was merely satire.

Last year’s videos drew outrage, protests and police reports from supporters of the ruling Umno and this year’s edition is likely to do the same.
