It has been a week since the government began airing a controversial political propaganda reel during prime time on the state-run RTM and privately owned TV3 channels.

Despite strong protests from opposition groups, the government has not shown any intention to stop showing the footage which evokes a 'reign of fear' if the opposition, specifically PAS, comes into power.

The 90-second broadcast in Bahasa Malaysia is sandwiched in between news items and presented in a format that suggests it is part of the news.
