Malaysian satirical video goes viral on YouTube

A Malaysian opposition leader and MP who posted a satirical Chinese New Year video on YouTube, has been subjected to threats.

Teresa Kok, who's national vice-chair of the opposition Democratic Action Party and has been accused of insulting Malays.

The self-styled 'Council of Islamic NGOs', offered a 400 AUD reward to anyone prepared to slap Ms Kok and record it on a smartphone.

Ms Kok, who's since lodged a police report, claims her video was not racist and pro-UMNO NGOs were playing it up to hide the government's mismanagement.
