5 years after hot CNY clip, Kok makes palm oil her lunar new year theme

PETALING JAYA: Five years after her Chinese New Year video drew protest from Malay groups who accused her of insulting the country’s leaders, DAP’s Teresa Kok has released a new video in conjunction with the lunar new year next week.

This time, her CNY greeting comes against the backdrop of the oil palm industry, something close to her heart in her current duties as primary industries minister.

The clip, which also stars Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Petaling Jaya MP Maria Chin Abdullah, two government leaders with Chinese heritage, comes as her ministry is taking charge of Putrajaya’s counter-campaign to the global anti-palm oil lobby.

“We build from each other’s strength, and learn from each other’s shortcomings,” Kok spoke in Mandarin in the video, as Wan Azizah arrives in a lorry filled with oil palm.

“These are the seeds we have sown, the crops we have planted. The future we will reap on this journey together,” she said, as the three ladies demonstrate their calligraphy skills.

Putrajaya has launched the “Love MY Palm Oil” campaign, in response to Europe’s move to ban palm oil in biofuel beginning in 2021. The decision could affect millions of oil palm growers in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

In 2014, Kok’s “Onederful Malaysia” video landed her in trouble with the authorities, with a sedition charge brought against her.

The video allegedly poked fun at the then-Barisan Nasional government’s handling of issues such as the education system and the Sulu invasion of Lahad Datu in 2013. The case was subsequently dropped. - FMT
