“This is a very irresponsible use of the Internet and it should be thoroughly probed by the authorities. It was definitely politically motivated and it is especially easy to suspect who is behind it,” DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang told The Malaysian Insider today.
DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng had also condemned the video yesterday and denied there was any truth behind what was insinuated in the video. The clip, posted by user “kawasaki9722” on July 7, is part of a series of anti-opposition videos, all featuring the same five actors, that can be found of video-sharing site YouTube.com.
“We believe that the video is part of a plan crafted by enemies of DAP and Pakatan Rakyat (PR) meant to divide the people through narrow racist sentiments. And from the looks of the video, it was not done by amateurs... it looked like it was recorded by professionals, using good equipment... definitely done by someone with deep pockets,” he said.
The eight-minute clip shows a group of five men of different racial backgrounds huddled together in a road side stall, discussing the increase in prices of daily essentials.
One Chinese man, named “Lim”(above pic), tells the group - an elderly Muslim man on a wheelchair referred to as “Mamat”, a stocky Malay man called “Dollah”, a Punjabi man with a turban called “Singh” and an Indian-Muslim shopkeeper whom they refer to as “Thamby” — that DAP has directed Chinese businessmen to raise the prices of goods.
Once the prices have been raised, claims Lim, DAP will then blame the hikes on the BN government in order to fish for votes in the coming polls.
His revelation appears to shock the four men sitting with him at the stall except for “Mamat”, who is clearly more supportive of the opposition. At the beginning of the clip, “Mamat” was seen reading Harakah, a PAS newspaper, and complaining about the prices of goods before “Thamby” tells him to read Umno-owned daily Utusan Malaysia instead.
“I have studied it already. If we want to succeed, we cannot change everything. What can the government do if they do not get two-thirds majority? We will lose out as well,” Lim tells his friends, appearing to be encouraging them to vote for BN in the polls.
When “Mamat” protests, “Thamby” steps in to defend Lim, saying, “Lim is telling this story because he wants to live peacefully in this country.”
“Yes, it is true. If we fight, how to make ends meet? Do you remember the Japanese occupation? Life was tough,” Lim says.
The group later disperses, leaving “Mamat” behind as they rush to check the prices of goods sold at the “Kedai 1 Malaysia”, which “Singh” earlier claimed were cheaper by between 30 per cent and 70 per cent.

Watch video/Saksikan video Kedai 1 Malaysia
Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Lim Guan Eng menyifatkan klip video bertajuk "Sembang Rakyat-Kedai 1 Malaysia" yang tersebar luas di internet sebagai usaha terbaru kerajaan menggunakan taktik kotor bagi menjatuhkan parti lain. "Kerajaan BN sekarang dengan nyatanya menyalahkan pihak yang tidak bersalah dan ini adalah satu permainan politik yang amat kotor dan jahat sekali.
" (Oleh itu) kita juga mahu pihak berkuasa polis menyiasat para pelakon yang terlibat untuk mendedahkan siapa pelakon dalam klip video itu termasuk watak apek cina,"katanya pada satu sidang media khas di ibu pejabat DAP semalam.
Klip video berdurasi 8 minit 30 saat itu dilakonkan oleh lima watak yang menceritakan isu kenaikan harga barangan seterusnya mempromosikan kedai 1 Malaysia.
Berlokasikan warung mamak, kesemua lima watak itu mempertikaikan kenaikan harga barangan yang didakwa Lim (watak lelaki Cina), ia didalangi oleh DAP dan kerajaan kononnya tampil menyelesaikan masalah itu dengan mewujudkan kedai 1 Malaysia.
Dalam video klip itu, Lim jelas sekali mengaitkan DAP yang dikatakannya mengawal tauke-tauke besar Cina yang menyokong parti itu supaya menaikkan harga barangan.
" Lu tengok ini macam haa... sekarang u tengok sapa paling banyak meniaga..
" U punya kaum laaa Cina.
" Betul... sekarang Cina ramai sokong parti mana?
" DAP,"jawab seorang watak Melayu.
" Betul... itu DAP pembangkang kan... u tau ka, itu semua tauke-tauke besar, DAP suruh kasi naik harga,"kata lelaki Cina yang dikenali dengan panggilan Lim itu lagi.
Melihat kepada pembikinan klip video dan kandungannya, Guan Eng berkata, ia merupakan satu taktik jahat untuk mengaburi mata rakyat seterusnya berupa satu bentuk hasutan.
"Klip video ini berkaitan dengan kedai 1 Malaysia, jadi BN perlu bertanggungjawab penuh dan sekirannya mereka tidak menafikan mereka terlibat dalam klip video itu, ianya jelas mereka ada kaitan.
"Watak apek cina sangat bahaya (menghasut) kerana menyatakan semua yang berlaku kerana angkara DAP, ini adalah satu hasutan, fitnah dan harus diambil tindakan keras,"kata Guan Eng lagi.
Sehubungan itu, pihaknya akan membuat laporan polis hari ini.
